SendGrid | We Make Email Delivery Easy

Increase Email Deliverability

SendGrid transparently handles DKIM, SPF, ISP rate limits, content inspection, bounces, and spam reports to help users achieve higher deliverability. SendGrid integrates in minutes by just changing three SMTP settings. We even assign our users their own IP addresses.

sendgrid helps you increase email delivery – the non free/basic plans gives you a specific IP so your reputation is purely yours. i think you can just replace your SMTP with theirs for this to work, got statics tracking and stuff to boot!

If you only read one book about entrepreneurship, Read this one

Art_of_start

If you only want to read one book about entrepreneurship, my personal view is that "The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything" written by Guy Kawasaki is the ONE.
You can read most part online from Google Book at http://books.google.com/books?id=-gXlwJnnNoEC&lpg=PP1&dq=label%3A%22entrepreneurship%22&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false

By the way, Guy Kawasaki's blog "How to Change the World" is also a great resource for aspiring entrepreneur.
