Well would ya look at that? It's April already! The first quarter of 2010 is in the books and we are (hopefully) through all the April fools antics. In this week's ReadWriteStart Weekly Wrapup, we talk about how MBAs and entrepreneurship may not mix as well as they hope, how some of the best companies using freemium models have made them work, and how to brainstorm your next big idea by letting your creative beast come out and play. We also learned about a new freelance marketplace started by TechStars' Andrew Hyde, as well as a BizSpark-like program being created by IBM.

From the same company that delivered BountyStorms, the crowdsourced Q&A service, now comes GuruStorms, a new twist on the brainstorming concept which connects you with subject-matter experts instead of with the general public. Making its debut at this week's DEMOfall 09 conference, the new site lets anyone post a question along with a monetary "reward" for answers. Then all you have to do is wait for the experts to weigh in. And don't worry - unlike on Twitter, where anyone can call themselves an "expert," this site offers the real deal. Before any of the gurus can join, they're carefully vetted to make sure they're legit. So whether you need a geologist, a data analyst, or anyone else, GuruStorms plans to have you covered.
