Top free resources for startups
It took me a while to warm up to it but I am loving Quora more and more. There is a wealth of information and connections on it. I can’t believe how much time people devote to answering questions on it. I wanted to draw your attention to one post from Antone Johnson a startup lawyer where he lays out his list of top free info resources for startups:

The other day I came across the list that Y Combinator has for all sorts of resources for the companies that enter into the program. It's pretty long and has some amazing content. http://startuptools.pbworks.com/w/page/17974963/F...
Yep, I have seen that. Great list!
Good stuff, Mark. Thanks for the shout out! I'll link back to these additional resources from my own site.
