We have a special treat :)
We built a quick forum so you guys can chat back and forth. We also think it will be a great place for designers and developers to connect and start projects. Forums sometimes seem Web 1.0 to us, but we find beast to be a great tool and we think it will fit the job best.
The name change voiting will be posted soon, we had over 110 submissions and we need to sort them out. Stay tuned for another post soon.

This should be fun. Good emerging vertical search area.
“When we first started studying life stories, people thought it was just idle curiosity ? stories, isn?t that cool? Well, we find that these narratives guide behavior in every moment, and frame– not only how we see the past but how we see ourselves in the future.”
– Dan P. McAdams, a professor of psychology at Northwestern and author of the 2006 book, The Redemptive Self, quoted in a NY Times article on how mental reslience is tied to emotional narrative and personal story telling.
