Itchy Lips: Movember Moustache Team Blog.

“Business” Objective: Grow mustaches as a fundraiser for prostate cancer research, joining the Movember fundraising campaign.

Technical Challenges:

  • Bringing a team together. 
  • Reaching out to friends and family for fundraising and spirit.
  • Ridiculousness of new mustache growth.

Technical Solution: The Posterous blog platform allowed teammates to post photos or updates by email. Friends and supporters could subscribe to updates by email or by RSS.

Successes: Eight mustaches grown, more than twenty-five hundred dollars raised for cancer research. And, come December, eight itchy lips relieved by shaving.
