		<description>Hi Dan,

the &quot;Karma Cup&quot; is the winner of the Professional Jury Price - have a look at the jury here: http://www.thebetacup.com/team/
The ideas with the red batches saying &quot;1&quot;, &quot;2&quot; etc are the community winners.

Best

		<description>The winning idea is a chalkboard?   That right there is a case against crowdsourcing.  Unsubscribed.

So Starbucks (after cup sales are done) will plan to lose 10% sales for the duration, as well as the workload of an employee who will need to continually update the chalkboard every second?  There&#039;s no chance all the self-entitled Escalade owners will fill in their own x&#039;s every morning (unless they&#039;re 10th in line).  Also, every tenth person will buy the $5 frappalapa milkshake drink, while the other 9 people in line buy cheap coffee...  

This plan means:

1.  Starbucks loses money
2.  People need to wash their cups, in hopes of being that &quot;1 in 10&quot;.  

I&#039;d give it about a month.</description>

		<description>I buy a tall mild once a day at starbucks.  It costs me less than $2.  The chance of getting a free coffee if I&#039;m the 10th person to use a personal mug is not an incentive for me to clean and carry one.</description>

		<description>Congrats to the winners - the Beta Cup was a blast! It was a lot of work but and an experience that I will not soon forget. Looking to see more of your ideas comments and whatnot in the community.</description>
