Drive Down the Price of an E-Book by Joining the Crowd

If you get on the social experiment that author Seth Godin is creating by Friday, Feb. 18, you could be helping set in motion a new way to buy e-books that will make them as cheap as $1. Or you could just be pre-ordering Godin's newest book and still make him rich.

Either way, it's an interesting look into how people are manipulated into buying something if they can get a lower price as a group, and should make the Freakonomics bloggers happy.
