The search feature on these boards is very handy for some things like to know if there are any replies to a thread I`ve posted, i/e if I select `Username` and type in ElidS all the threads were I`ve posted come up making it easy for me to reply if there is something I need to say.

However, if I`m looking for information on these boards I know I`ve seen at some point it is somewhat less handy. For instance, this morning I was searching for a thread that talked about time-tracking software or aids of some sort, I knew I`d seen it but searching the forums for "Time tracking" returned all types of threads that are not in the least related to what I wanted, when I searched for just "time" it got even worse. Here`s a way to go around this and quickly find a thread in SuN. Go to Google and type
site:startupnation.com
(no spaces between site, colon and startupnation)
followed by the term you are looking for, in my case I typed
site:startupnation.com "time tracking"
and what I was looking for was right there, the third link

VAs - What Time-Tracking Software do you use?

word of the day: Socialist
"Socialists" are those people who are constantly talking on a cell phone, socializing.
