After years of personal “scientific” research I am pleased to announce that I’ve finally discovered the cure for the startup insomniac – you know, people that wake up in the middle of the night with a great idea they can’t get out of their head. Here’s how it works:
- Count from 99 down to 1 as quickly as you can
- If you lose concentration (I usually lose concentration at around 85), start all over again
- If you get all the way down to 1, congratulations! Start all over again
- If you still haven’t fallen asleep after 3 times counting down from 99 to 1 …
WAKE UP AND CREATE SOMETHING BRILLIANT!
Trust me – this really works!
Author’s note:
I’m half joking about my “cure” for insomnia. It does work but there are many root causes for insomnia from pain to stress to anxiety and you should try to determine what the root cause is. If you still can’t deal with it you should see your doctor.

Sounds like an excellent plan…is that how you came up with Twegather?
The Twegather idea came from the OttawaGeekBBQ last year. We recognized what an important role Twitter played in promoting the event. But I will say that I often wake up with an idea for a new Twegather feature or a solution to a problem.
