THE DREAM IN ACTION

MadeIt.com is taking Evite.com head on in the party invitation space. They are self proclaimed fun guys who thought that many great parties had bad invites.

I’ve officially joined my first The Point campaign. I’ve decided to join the campaign to get Starbucks coffee to begin using reusable cups for “for here” orders. The tipping point is 102, 950 and I’m number 40 supporting the cause. If you haven’t yet go over the www.thepoint.com and check out how you can contribute. [...]
