The new trend in harnessing the crowd? Crowdtilt. It’s a startup and a description for group buying where no one is on the hook for the purchase unless a certain number of people commit to buying.

It’s group buying that reduces production expense.

I’m trying out a crowdtilt for t-shirts business, Teespring. You can, too!

Buy the t-shirt.

The researchers found that such childhood abilities predict socioeconomic status in adulthood over and above associations with intelligence, education and socioeconomic status in childhood.”
