Crowdsourcing your ToDo list
I’ve been tossing questions into my social graph for a while. Asking my friends, family and followers for guidance on things that would take me ages to work out myself.

It’s fun when idea cross linking leads to something tangible. I have been chatting to the guys at Clara for a while about making some kind of an index for Icelandic startup companies.

Only 9 blog entries this year (including this one) despite this being one of the biggest one yet in terms of unforgettable moments. It's pretty well covered on twitter though with over 2800 tweets.
