Welcome to the TWiST List for July 30-August 5

This week, we wanted to show our appreciation for both our new Backchannel members who we know will help make the show awesome, as well as our amazing sponsors, who make the show possible!

If you love TWiST, show these fine folks some love too! (And if that's not enough of an incentive, you also get a free This Week in Startups messenger bag with your paid subscription to any of these services. It's sweet.)

Entrepreneur? Hiscox specializes in insurance for startups and makes it super-simple to buy directly through their website. Go to www.HiscoxUSA.com/smallbiz. (And then check out LeapYear.tv--so fun.)

If you own a computer, you need Carbonite. Period. Get the peace of mind that comes with knowing everything is backed up. Go to www.Carbonite.com to buy and use the promo code 'TWiST' for an additional two months free.

If you're going to meet remotely, put a face with a name. Check out HDFaces, the new product from GoTo Meeting that enables brilliantly clear video sharing. Go to www.GoToMeeting.com and check it out free for 30 days with the promo code 'Start.'

You love the LAUNCH newsletter, right? Well, it wouldn't get to you if it wasn't for MailChimp. It's the best way to send email newsletters, end of story. Behold the beauty at MailChimp.com.
