Delicious digital morsels served on a crisp bed of verbiage, sprinkled with freshly picked links and lashings of multimedia goodness. Occasionally.

Open IDEO / Where people design better, together
:: This creative community of social designers, founded by IDEO’s Tom Hulme (@thulme), is a masterclass in online community design: using principles of reward and status to encourage collaboration, nurture ideas and ultimately produce tangible results. Good work.
