			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More of often then not lunch time is an oppertunity to get more work done. But occasionally I get to escape the office and eat lunch with co-workers where the conversations bounce from topic to topic and talk about things we have come across in recent days.</p>
<p>Lunch Time Links aims to recollect those links talked about during lunch.</p>

<p><strong>The Links: </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://spendster.org/">spendster.org</a><br />
How we spend our money. A site to share your story of impulse buying, over-spending or just plain wasting money on the stuff you don&#8217;t need.</p>
<p><a href="http://farecast.live.com/">farecast.live.com</a><br />
Track airline price trending.<br />
<em>Side Dish</em> : Interested to see if their is hourly price trending, ie is there an optimal time to book a ticket?</p>

Adobe’s Zoetrope, the ability to view a websites visual history and not just what is on the page at that given moment.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/malcolm_gladwell_on_spaghetti_sauce.html">Malcom Gladwell on Spagatti Sauce</a><br />
Talk about how spagatti sauce changed from just a single style/type to thirty plus varities.<br />
<em>Side Dish</em> : Trying to understand what is it that people want, do they themselves even know what it is?</p>
<p><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10119880-2.html?part=rss&amp;subj=news&amp;tag=2547-1_3-0-20">Facebook crowns the top apps </a><br />
A list of winning Facebook apps that each will collect a prize of $250k for continued development.<br />
<em>Side Dish</em> : Only one of the apps listed, MouseHunt, is a pure game. Interesting.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/13/business/13digi.html?_r=1">Plenty of Fish<br />
</a>Free dating site with an ever growing number of users, and a sub-par design.<br />
