Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them. (This is what I've elsewhere called 'harnessing collective intelligence.')".

Tips to help Survive an avalanche
Being in an avalanche has been compared to standing on a carpet and suddenly having it ripped out from under you. It's an apt metaphor, except in an avalanche the carpet can weigh hundreds of thousands of tons and can travel at well over 100 miles per hour, destroying everything in its path. Around the world, avalanches are responsible for an average of nearly 150 deaths per year. If you're unfortunate enough to be caught in an avalanche, here's what you can do to increase your chances of survival.

Feasibility Study Urged for Bill Baird and RDKB
Big White is currently a Village within area E of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. Despite a tax base larger than most of the 6 municipalities in the entire District (and paying 60% of taxes for area E), we have had little effective representation on the RDKB Board. We have no public facilities, playgrounds, or parks. While responsive to development of shared natural resources, the taxes and profits generated have not been directed towards improving public amenities or improving the local standard of living. There are two other communities in area E which have a dedicated local representative (Midway and Greenwood), and it is time to consider municipal or Mountain Resort Improvement Area Status for Big White.

Dont be left in the snow, your Lease has Power.
Every year Big White Mountain has a massive influx of tourists hoping to enjoy the ski season for the 4-5 months of winter. When the masses arrive to Big White, their first priority is to find short term rental accommodation. Due to this high demand on real estate, apartment and condo owners have a 100% (or close to) success rate of renting out their property for the season.Owners (or landlords on behalf of the owners) and renters will be both asked to sign a lease detailing the significant dates of the lease and specific conditions to renting out the property.
