A miniature graduate course on how to think about "designing" a business or growing an existing one. You could start with technology. You could start with gut instinct. But you may want to start with design thinking.

Everything about this is cool: the music, the crowdsourcing, the community, the meaning of "shelter," the possibilities. Goosebumps. Thanks @@pellesjoenell.

Too good not to save on my Posterous. Thanks @madebymany for the share.

Have to admit, that while this is just one more place to stick an unwanted ad, it's damn clever. Definitely some hardware for the team that came up with this idea.  Sign up for the beta and you, too, can sell your out-of-office auto reply to the highest bidder.  I'm taking bids now. Thanks Saatchi.
