The Experience Is The Marketing
Finally a design competition that will not reward the most beautiful commercial failures 
It is a great move for frog as well to align itself with this kind of competition because in the end people will hire them to make the most profitable products/experiences.
It doesn’t take much to figure out that slapping your name on some badly designed consumer electronics is not a long term strategy. I havn’t seen these products up close, but they all look pretty cheap and awfull, and my guess is that they will look even worse once they’ve been in your house for 6 months.
Amazon is a business that continues to re-imagine itself as a value network that includes its customers as participants in the value creation process as opposed to being passive consumers.
Not satisfied with you just reviewing products, amazon is now employing their customers as product photographers and product placement specialists

I had reached the end of my teather with comment spam, it was a deluge, and although it wasn’t showing up because I had moderation turned on, I was getting hundreds of emails a day telling me that spam was awaiting my moderation. It’s not like I have a tonne of comment activity, but as with many things in my life like love, work and money… hope springs eternal. So I had to do somthing about the comment spammers that didn’t involve me wasting lots of my bandwidth. Well I’m pleased to sayy that i now have a pretty sophisticated detterent that involves the commenter copying random text from an image, no registering, no moderation, just copying a few human readable letters from an image.
