chTONGUEeek is the project of Jeff DeChambeau and Denis Hancock, two writers for the Wikinomics Blog. In this post they describe the process of conceiving and launching the project for a total budget of $200. As far as I can tell the content for the site is generated by the founders themselves (as opposed to users) but they made great use of what could alternately be called ‘ultra light’ or ‘crowdsourced’ components in launching the site – WordPress, CafePress, crowdSPRING, etc.

Thanks so much for mentioning crowdSPRING. “Ultra light” is a new term for me as far as startups are concerned (threw me off initially – I am a fly fisherman). But I certainly have great respect for startups that can launch on small budgets and leverage some of the really great products out there. We’re really fortunate that we provide a great opportunity for such startups to get creative services at affordable prices. One of the best aspects of our model is that the nearly 11,000 designers working on crowdSPRING are looking to create great stuff – they are not worried that their client might be “ultra light.” That’s a win win for all.
Best,

Thanks for the mention – sorry it took me so long to find this! Rest assured, user generated content is in our future plans… and on a side note I’m finding your site very interesting for my “other job” as well! Keep up the great work!
