Just posting a couple links that I liked that were tweeted by @ScottCate

  • http://www.generatedata.com/#about 
      So what is this site?Ever needed custom formatted sample / test data, like, bad? Well, that’s the idea of the Data Generator. It’s a free, open source script written in JavaScript, PHP and MySQL that lets you quickly generate large volumes of custom data in a variety of formats for use in testing software, populating databases, and scoring with girls.
  • http://www.filehelpers.com/
      The FileHelpers are a free and easy to use .NET library to import/export data from fixed length or delimited records in files, strings or streams.
      The idea is pretty simple:You can strong type your flat file (fixed or delimited) simply describing a class that maps to each record and later read/write your file as an strong typed .NET arrayThe Library also has support for import/export data from differents storages like Excel, Access, SqlServer, etc.

Great post on Social Media for small business

I saw this link from a fellow social media user Matthew Petro (@MatthewPetro) on twitter.

It is a great post by a coffe shop owner who is using Social Media to draw in customers. The main point of the post is to cover his attendance of the Social Media Day event in Tempe, AZ, which I had also attended last week. I agree with him that the stories shared there were not the best, but I blame that on the limited time they were given.

He then proceeds to tell HIS story, which I think is a good one. I wont try to recap it here, and leave it to you to read his blog post.

But the most important points in the post are summarized by him in the last paragraph, which is the one pointed out by Matthew as being important for small businesses. If you are a small business owner you need to learn about Social Media and how it can help grow your business.
