Top Links And Tweets For The Week of August 21, 2010

Every week I post a digest of very fine links and tweets. Here are the best links I found in the past week:

• Social Entrepreneurship in India–The Complete Guide to Funding, Profitable Sectors [and more] : There is profit at the bottom of the pyramid. This post lists all the various business models employed by social entrepreneurs in India along with the available venture funds for social entrepreneurs.
• How to Walk the Line : Consultants have to walk on a 'balanced' line all the time. Here are some of those 'lines' from the Million Dollar Consultant, Alan Weiss.
• With Innovation, You Don't Get Points for Difficulty : The goal of business is to find the quickest, cheapest path to profits. If that involves imitation, then so be it.
• Mind Your OWN Business : We manage ourselves differently when we’re self-employed versus working for a company. What if an employee considers his job as a business rather than just a job? You’ll find yourself energized and with power you didn’t even know you had. It feels much better to be the driver of your career rather than a passenger.
• WebFilings streamlines SEC reporting using Google App Engine : WebFilings is a SaaS solution that dramatically improves the process of developing and filing financial reports with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). In this post the founder details the architecture of WebFilings. XBRL will be introduced in India soon and there is a business opportunity in India on this line.

Here are the best tweets of past week:

• Orrin_Woodward: 10% of the people do 90% of the work, but 90% of the people think they are part of the 10%. :)
• Orrin_Woodward: Will you choose the comfort of mediocrity or the quest for excellence?
