Free with in-apps sales

It’s awesome to me that 2 out of the top 3 listed are crowdsourcing businesses, particularly Quirky is fairly similar to Cuusoo.com. It’s great to be working in the user innovation field!! What’s more, I’m working on a bigger business model that encompass across several layers of businesses listed above! Here’s to its successful go live in 2011!!
