Take a look over at barkingminds.com – Another “mini/micro-company” like App Weekend designed to efficiently put together and run with minimal overhead and governance.  I personally believe it’s more the way of the future, and it will be fostered by those of us looking to direct our lives towards areas we want to focus.  The purpose of Barking Minds is to build great apps!  Check it out at crowdmap.barkingminds.com… And check it out in our apps section of Cloud Lasso.

Dan and Brian make up two thirds of the development team of the app that:

- is a Universal iPhone and iPad app

- connects to a Ruby backend over RESTful services

- allows for real time mind-mapping collaboration on devices – like Google Wave or SubethaEdit.
