stories, people, links: what inspired us this week
July 13th, 2009 by Fabian PfortmüllerAt Sandbox we spend hours, days and often many nights looking at interesting stuff out there on the web, content that you guys created or talk about. Many of your stories inspire us and we want to share more and more of our findings with everyone on a regular basis. Be part of it: if you come across something that you want to publish to the Sandbox community, a cool link, an inspiring video, someone we should follow on twitter, drop me – or anyone else in the team – a link by e-mail ( 
), by Twitter or by commenting on this post. We’ll definitely look at it and personally answer every input!
