Couchsurfing's community rescue

Here's the Couchsurfing mission statement:

CouchSurfing seeks to internationally network people and places, create educational exchanges, raise collective consciousness, spread tolerance, and facilitate cultural understanding.

On June 27, they suffered a catastrophic crash and had no adequate backup. (Insert smug "tsk tsk" here.) You can read how the community not only rallied but created Couchsurfing 2.0 in the process... (Thanks to Mike O for the link.) [Tags: couchsurfing]
