We’ve settled on a name! tipdish!
Tippers & Dishers
Think, the tipping point and “dishing” the news. So, “bloggers, podcasters, newspapers, radio people…anybody who gets information out is a Disher. And the Tipper is anybody who has information they want to get out, like a press release, news item, whatever. They want to get information to the public in a crazy way,” says Chris Dolle, Floater (mid-management).
Dev Team Progress!
Update from the Dev team. They have progress:
They said, “we are making progress.” They have this awesome birds-eye view of the whole weekend. But I don’t think they’re ruling like Sauron…yet…

Rock on y’all! A fun brand name that brings both Gladwell and Friedman to mind. Can’t way to see the product.

Cool name, though doesn’t necessarily get the idea across by itself. Sounds more like a service that would allow small websites to put up a logo that allows visitors to drop in a few eCents as a donation.
Something else that would be cool is if the themes that are used for these Startup weekends showed the actual hour and minute the posts are created. Gives the readers a much better feel for when the exciting things are happening with you all (note: the comments have this, but not the posts). Just a thought.
Keep up the fun work!
