Life of Brian</h1> <article> <h1>Life of Brian</h1> <p>Eric — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:16:57 +0000</p> I’ve thought about writing plenty, but my life is pretty much routine at the moment - work, a few movies, a few restaurants. routine! no interesting new events, no networking with rockstars, no A list movie stars. just building up an internet startup from concept to implementation - and it’s taken hard work and lots of time. but [...]<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ericedelstein/xFIw?a=JueQm856_1E:lSayCLVkWBc:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ericedelstein/xFIw?a=JueQm856_1E:lSayCLVkWBc:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ericedelstein/xFIw?a=JueQm856_1E:lSayCLVkWBc:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ericedelstein/xFIw?a=JueQm856_1E:lSayCLVkWBc:aPlLdaN5Nik"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>How big is the Threadless Community?</h1> <p>Eric — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:30:15 +0000</p> Threadless is one of the oldest crowdsourcing websites starting around 2001, and has a large active community. But how big is the Threadless community? I spent some time looking at data, and have come up with the following conclusions about the size and growth of the threadless community. A. The overall number of people in the threadless [...]<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ericedelstein/xFIw?a=YhJmN-ag7Fc:NenrhAINTHQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ericedelstein/xFIw?a=YhJmN-ag7Fc:NenrhAINTHQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ericedelstein/xFIw?a=YhJmN-ag7Fc:NenrhAINTHQ:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ericedelstein/xFIw?a=YhJmN-ag7Fc:NenrhAINTHQ:aPlLdaN5Nik"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>What to do when your Server goes down?</h1> <p>Eric — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 08:11:09 +0000</p> At 6.50 this morning I was alerted that our server which hosts springleap.com was done. For just over 2 hours, we worked flat out to get it up as quickly as possible, and by 9am, it was live again. These are the lessons I learned: 1. Know who is responsible in your company for the server.

Just like Threadless and Design by Humans, springleap has become an amazing community of creative people passionate about design. But Jeff’s crowdsourcing book, has introduced me to all the other amazing crowdsourcing projects that are taking place. Wikipedia is one of my favourite crowdsourcing websites.

Instead I said that 09 would be the year of balance. I’m known for being extremist in the sense that whatever I’m focussed on takes all my focus.
