  • MeeID: Consolidate Your Online Presence

    MeeID (not to be confused with MEID) is a new web application meant to manage your online identity in a neat package.  Amongst the dozens of “people search engines,” “lifestreaming” and “social networking” sites, MeeID hopes to keep its head above the water through simplicity.  The MeeID format is straightforward enough: just upload a picture [...]

  • Timebridge Meeting Scheduler

    Timebridge is a new time (and headache) saving tool that helps you schedule meetings with people, no matter where they are or what calendaring system they’re using. The platform is free and easy-to-use: meeting members enter in their availability, denoting which time frames are optimal, doable, and booked, and Timebridge figures out where there’s overlap [...]

    Tired of having your wallet crammed with dozens of old cards?  Thanks to the success of a recent study of consumer use, we all may soon be seeing more implementation of NFC (Near Field Communication) in our daily lives.  NFCs enable a wireless transfer of information to a nearby enabled hub from personal devices like [...]

  • University Goes Solar; Consumers Can Too

    The University of California in San Diego has installed a 1.2 mega-watt solar array contributing to its earth-friendly arsenal of methane-powered fuel cells and utility provided wind-power, making it the greenest university in the United States.

  • Trash Bags Make Garbage Cuter

    Could cute rabbit-ear’d and Oscar the Grouch trash bags motivate potential litter-bugs to responsibly throw out their waste? Japanese designers at MAQ, Inc. and a Sesame Street campaign seem to think so. While the plastic trash-bags are keeping neighborhood trash-heaps way-cuter, we’re wondering if they could have designed their bags using something other than, well, [...]

  • Runway Shows on the Decline?

    While some of the big luxury fashion houses are still staging huge, expensive fashion shows (like Chanel’s theatrical event in Paris last Spring, among others), many young designers are foregoing the traditional runway show altogether. In today’s WWD, the magazine highlights no less than three designers/brands which are releasing videos instead. It’s a way for [...]

  • HP Reduces Carbon Emissions by Shipping Laptop in it’s Own Bag

    In a brilliant and ‘why didn’t I think of that’ move, HP has begun shipping its new Pavilion dv692 laptop in its very own padded messenger bags made of recycled material. Instead of wrapping each computer up in a ton of cardboard and Styrofoam, each laptop will be placed in it’s own carrying case [...]

  • Event: The Feast Social Innovation Conference

    We’re looking forward to The Feast, alldaybuffet’s first annual social innovation gathering to take place on October 16 in NYC. And not just because our very own Piers Fawkes is slated to speak. (Though we’re excited about that, too.) We’re eager to see what the thinkers behind The New Orleans 100 and Cause for Drinks [...]

  • PSFK Talks to Joel Horowitz of People’s Popsicle

    We were excited to learn of People’s Popsicle, a new company out of Brooklyn specializing in good-for-you (and delicious) frozen treats. We were even more excited to find that PSFK friend and contributor Joel Horowitz was one of the creators behind the health and taste-conscious company. We took some time to talk to Joel about [...]

  • Popcuts Pays for Trendsetting Purchases

    Popcuts is a new site that has a unique business model for its users.  The approach essentially rewards trendsetters for spotting new music that later becomes popular.  Let’s say you buy a song you like soon after the artist uploads it for the industry standard 99 cents; as it becomes popular you are rewarded for [...]
