Seth Godin got the best business advices, here comes another one: ask your customers if you can pitch in times of crisis. Don’t buckle down, let’s face the not-so-hard truth: great times are coming up for small enterprises and networks: after all, the small overhead costs allow for efficiency. So there’s actually no need to worry, unless you’re planning on launching a new car company. Or a web designer, for that matters – Which brings me to my first news of the week:

TechCrunch reported the sad story of a guy trying to sell his Digg-Account on Craigslist. Right now, TechCrunch is collecting money for his rent, since there’s not enough web design work:

How bad is the economy? In an effort to raise money for his rent, one man named Victor is trying to sell his Digg account on Craigslist for $650. It’s not because Victor is a power user on Digg. The name of the account is “youtube”

Got some change? Fresh water and help needed

MountainDan is looking for support: Twestvial Wien is supposed to bring the Twitter community together and raise money for a good cause at the same time:

Those of you involved in the twitter community have undoubtedly heard of ‘tweetups’, where the local twitter community organizes an event where they call all meet and socialize offline. An outstanding idea in its own right, but a group of organizers from London have decided to take this concept one further and combine a charity fundraising event and tweetup into one cause. On the 12th of February, twitter communities around the world will band together not only to meet each other, but to raise money for an amazing non-profit organization.

Check Dan’s blog for all the details – right now, there’s a lot of organizing going on, and helping hands are needed!

Harley Davidson lays of 1.100 workers

The crisis of the international auto-industry is spreading over to bike manufacturers: Harley Davidson recently announced that the company will lay off more than thousands workers: after two good decades, 8% less bikes were sold in 2008, for this year another 10% decrease in sales is expected.

Shoemoney on O’Bama’s inauguration

Jeremy is as far as I’ve noticed not quite the biggest fan of America’s new president – and this description is hilarious, I just have to quote the whole post.:

Today a young man, whose father abandon him when he was a young boy, whose hippy mother takes him into Indonesia and into harms way as a young man, whose grandparents raise him as a youth and adolescent , who busted his ass and did it all himself, will be sworn in as our President today.

Such a great American story.

God Bless America.

What is social? Hans Peter Brondmo (Plum) doesn’t give a technical explanation but focuses on the basic human need to communicate – can’t argue against that:
