Have a great idea for a business and looking for help and inspiration? Check this out:
"Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event where developers, designers,
marketers, product managers, and startup enthusiasts come together to

Posterous gets Groups! I see LOTS of potential to use this for personal projects, volunteer activities, business/client communications and more.
My take: Maybe not as swish as Google Wave: but then again, Wave was buggy and then it tanked. Definitely more visually appealing and user friendly than Google Groups and Google Sites, both of which I avoid because of the lackluster GUI.
Do you see a use for Posterous Groups? If you're already a Posterous blogger, I bet you do.
