Hello!

Robinhood Fund (www.robinhoodfund.com) is a community wishing well where you can make a wish or make wishes come true. The Robinhood Fund is dedicated to inspiring people to make a difference in their lives and others.

The Robinhood Fund empowers everyday people to make a wish. Created in the spirit of Robin Hood, the fund grants wishes based on community votes. You can use the fund for anything: a wedding dress, credit card debt, or even money for college.

Robinhood Fund is an idea MJ had way back even before the days of Cambrian House. We market tested the idea in the first few months of operating, then put things on hold to get our own website up and running. Now we’re back on it.

Today we’ve just started beta testing and have seeded the fund with $1000! Get your wish in before Wednesday noon for a chance to win your share! Just check out www.robinhoodfund.com

You can submit your wish into one of 5 categories:

Weekly Wish: Inspired by Gwabs, tell us why you need some extra $$ for alienware gear or other gaming accessories.

Twist of Fate: Have you had a bad week? Some unexpected expenses put you in a bind?

Health and Wellness: Are you or a loved one going through a tough time with your health?

Me, Myself, and I: All about you. It never hurts to ask.

Help me help others: Have a wish to help others?

Voting begins Wednesday at noon MDT and wishes will be granted during the Web 2.0 conference on Wednesday November 8th.

But just because we’re testing doesn’t mean we don’t have any tasks for Royalty Points! We’re looking for help with the Robinhood Fund logo, home page and the Ask Maid Marian feature (like our Ask the Queen). If you’re interested in jumping aboard the RHF team, just check out the Robinhood Fund project page.

So check out Robinhood Fund, submit a wish, and let us know what you think: www.robinhoodfund.com

Hiya all,

Midnight rolled around, the votes are in, and the Golden Hammer Tournament is officially closed for voting. A big thx to all our awesome participants, and community for making the very first IdeaWarz tournament as exciting and fun as it was.

The tournament champion will be announced, with MUCH fanfare, at the upcoming Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco November 7th.

But just because we are not announcing the Golden Hammer winner until the 7th, doesn’t mean we can’t kick off another tournament this week! Wednesday night will begin next chapter in IdeaWarz – The Golden Axe.

Contenders for the tournament will be contacted today – so make sure you ideas are ready for battle.

All the best - JR

Hiya all,

Well here we are - the IdeaWarz Golden Hammer tournament final. Just three weeks ago 16 of the finest ideas in the land stepped into the ring to give it their best shot, and now there are 2.

Without further ado, our finalists, for the first ever IdeaWarz Golden Hammer tournament are:

AndyDoan and his fantastic Film Funder

Vs

The techiest of tech guys, techguy, and his ever popular Spoil My Spouse

Does Film Funder have enough movie magic to stave off elimination for one more round?

Does Spoil My Spouse have the power of the people to propel it into the IdeaWarz stratosphere?

I don’t know.

But I do know this is going to be a final of epic proportions. So epic in fact that we are going to announce the winner at Web 2.0 in San Francisco November 7. That’s right, our IdeaWarz winner will be revealed among the bright lights fanfare that comes with this premiere business / technology conference. Speakers include people like:

Needless to say we are super pumped about announcing the winner at this event.

So those of you who haven’t submitted your ideas yet, get them in soon for the November tournament (date to be announced). We would love to put your name and idea in lights as a tournament champion.

A big thanks to all our contestants thus far - especially Doymarn and BuddySaul who made it to the final four.

All the best to AndyDoan and techguy in the final.
