1password. I use it on my mac, iPad, and iPhone. Incredible product.

I am shocked that "value" or "value add" didn't appear on this list. Everyday, I hear someone talk about how they "added value" or the need to be "value add" and each time I hear this I throw up in my mouth a little bit. It has gotten so out of hand that, for fun, I keep a sticky note on my desk and keep tally of how many buzzwords get used by my colleagues each day. Some fun facts from the sticky note:

Newest addition: "arrow in our quiver"

Most frequent sports analogy: "utility infielder"

Second most frequent sports analogy: to "tee up"

Great stuff. Lots of people have commented on why more outdoor sites haven't taken off. I'd point you all to www.mountainproject.com

For me, the real takeaway for entrepreneurs who want to get funded is to better "manage expectations." In other words, contact VC / angel early, set artificially low expectations initially (ones you know you can hit, so you build momentum), give yourself time, outperform, communicate out performance...rinse and repeat.
