russianpencil:
On July 11th, 2010, Tom Gerhardt and I had an idea for an iPhone accessory: a tripod mount that doubled as a stand. Five months later, customers began to receive our product, the Glif, in the mail. This turnaround, from idea to market in five months by two guys with no retail or manufacturing…

Social media star and dribbler (only two b’s?!) Shaquille O’Neal informs us as @the_real_shaq that he’s very “quotatious.” (His word—note the quotatious marks.) Following in his giant footsteps, Dribbble will soon be very … Spectatious.

No donkey work please: What is donkey work? →
vinitblog:
Hauling dirt is donkey work. Labor intensive but inefficient. And at the end of the day there’s very little to show for all that effort. Here’s an example of an experienced project manager (PM) generating donkey work: PM: I’ve scheduled a scrum every morning at 10am. Me: What’s a scrum?

americandrink:
If you want to get really good at making drinks, it’s important to develop a deep knowledge of your raw materials.

Videogum.com posted this video earlier today. It’s called “Hot Drinks.” It was for Wendy’s employees in the 90’s to learn how to pour hot drinks. It’s also possibly the greatest song ever.
There’s another video to teach employees how to serve cold drinks. It’s called…

The academic response would be NO.
It’s like asking, can we trust people to write an encyclopedia? Nobody knows. Until the idea is out there. The same litmus test for wikipedia will be applied to the democratization of pricing.
We do know that in the past ten years, people have been more…
