Caleb Gardner: Don't make your idea too complicated. That's why I love doing Save the Cups, because it's an idea that's very easy to grasp very quickly.

Never underestimate the power of a simple idea.

Using brevity, bold text to main words, color theory, and compositional theory to communicate the "short version" preference of most web-goers.

I had 2 pot fulls and that guy continued with another two cups :)

Holly Hoffman I take my coffee black for the most part, but the holidays seem to get me in the mood for flavor & cream. What do you like adding to your mug to get you in the holiday spirit?

111 weeks ago from Coffee

Alan Koskelin: Homemade Irish cream: sweetened condensed milk and/or cream, Irish whiskey, maybe some vanilla.

Andrea V. Lewis I have to ask are you a sipper or a gulper?

112 weeks ago from Coffee

Holly Hoffman: Totally a sipper. I never could get the gulping thing - why don't you want to SAVOR it??

Adriana Dwan: Definitely a sipper! I like my coffee & tea hot so gulping would take me to the emergency room.

Caleb Gardner Hey guys - what a great new group. I'm on a team that's about to launch Save the Cups - http://savethecups.com/ Check it out. I'd love to hear your feedback before (and after) our January 1 launch.

Especially since I think enforcing new habits works better in communities. I think it would have also been interesting to have linked the new years resolution to like a list of others who had made this their new years resolution,or a number of other people who made the resolution. That way I kinda feel part of something bigger before the launch happens.

Caleb Gardner: Thanks Kim. I've also given some thought to incorporating the NY Resolution more into the launch. We may end up doing something like that, but ...MoreThanks Kim. I've also given some thought to incorporating the NY Resolution more into the launch. We may end up doing something like that, but would probably do it the last week in December after the holiday craziness. That's when most people will probably start thinking about it anyway.
