Get a group of people into an office for a 3-day weekend and they would come with a great idea for creating a company. Well, sorry, they’ll create a company. Which one is the latest created company by means of this methodology?: VOSNAP.

They define this web application (of course, is a dotcom) as a "social quick voting tool that reduces group think and time wasted on decision-making by giving you the ability to receive a quick vote from a group of friends on any decision. Users can create a poll, send it to their friends to quickly vote on via text message or email, and receive the results instantly". So, a dictatorship of the masses?, is this prefered to the dictatorship of the leaders?, or is it better a technocracy?. Actually, I didn’t want to convert this post into a political one, but discuss about the ways a decision can be taken, if the application (VOSP) was really breakthrough, and if the Startup Weekend was really effective. However, as always, I’ve ended up changing mood after quite a few words and just letting you finish the quarrel (in Spain we say: "tirar la piedra y esconder la mano", this is, "throw the stone and hide the hand", ringing the bell and running like hell!).
