Runkeeper is a cool app for the iPhone and web site, I featured it recently in a post right here on this blog. I think these Boston guys have done a great job leveraging the GPS capability, function and community building that is possible with the iPhone.

Crafting is big business. The Craft and Hobby Association reported that in 2007, craft sales in 39 categories reached nearly $32 billion, and nearly 57 percent of U.S. households engage in crafting. You [...]
Earlier this week I posted about Skittles new social site. The new Skittles.com isn’t so much a website as an app pointing visitors elsewhere online where Skittles material — official or not — is hosted.
