Smallbiztrends commented on the following stories on BizSugar
John Warrillow – The Glenn Beck of Canadian Business?
"John Warrillow's book, Built to Sell, is one of the best books for small business owners I've ever read, with many many insights that may sound simple, but are non-obvious in the execution and detail. I recently was hired by Gale Publishing, which supplies libraries, to come up with a list of the top 100 business books between 2005 - 2010, and his book was on the list near the top. I've met John Warrillow. I know his track record. He's the real deal. "Starting Your Business With a 401(k)
"Shawn, not only is it a controversial practice from an IRS perspective, but I think it's not a wise idea to use retirement money in general, unless you're in your 20s. If you're past that age, then it's going to take longer to catch up for retirement and you are cutting your legs out from under you. "An Expensive Lesson In Domain Names
"Hi Niall, It's a true story about SmallBusinessTrends.com, the domain name I just acquired this year for another site of mine. Wish that I didn't have to spend $3600 unnecessarily, but live and learn. I am delighted to blog at Bloggertone and share my experience to hopefully help others avoid such an expensive mistake. - Anita"Hitler Finds Out About Blogging [VIDEO]
"Personally, I don't glorify Hitler -- he was a monster. You're not the only ones whose families suffered from Hitler. You don't have to be Jewish to have been targets. But on balance, this video is NOT glorifying Hitler and it's NOT showing him in a positive light. The topic is about blogging. Whether we agree with using the video or not, to remove it would be censorship, and that would be worse. Now if the video said something in seriousness about how wonderful Hitler's policies were, or suggested he were some kind of hero, or repeated negative beliefs that Hitler held about certain ethnic groups to try to convince viewers those beliefs should be followed -- that would be completely different. Then it would be so outrageous and so unrelated to any relevant topic here we'd remove it. But the video is using humor to make a point about a business topic. Whether some people think the humor is tasteful or insensitive is a different matter. And it's not the first time any of us have seen this video being used to make points -- this video clip is commonly used for business humor. There are numerous versions of it on YouTube. Because BizSugar is a community site, people post things all the time that others may disagree with. We're going to hear a range of voices, and not all of us will agree with what is posted 100% of the time. Let's let freedom of speech reign -- even when we don't agree with the style in which it is delivered."Subscribe

Social Media Sites: Accountability, Elections and a Voice to the People: The Case of BizSugar
"BradenM, I am sorry you feel that it has made people feel pain. Like I said, my family suffered too. I looked on it from a different perspective. If you don't like the way things are run, feel free to invest your life savings in a site to compete against BizSugar. If I had as thin a skin as some around here, and looked to take offense at the drop of a hat, I'd be deeply offended by your comments. - Anita"
