5 Reasons StumbleUpon is by Far the Coolest Social Site
This is a bit off topic for this blog so I’ll keep it short and sweet. Note: I’m not trying rip on other social sites and take a beat down from their supporters (even though I probably will regardless). I use and enjoy all the sites mentioned in this post.

How to Build Confidence - Amy Gallo - Best Practices
by Amy Gallo | 9:48 AM April 29, 2011 Very few people succeed in business without a degree of confidence.
