  Inside: This Week in Innovation
It's tough out there, and getting worse. With the seventh issue of IN, we examine how to innovate in a recession. We present our annual list of 25 Most Innovative Companies and show how executives are using the slowdown to create new value. We also offer a case study of the fast-selling Flip video camera and chronicle how tiny Pure Digital Technologies used the design principle of simplicity to rival giant Sony. Our INData page reveals why men and women want different things from teams (surprise!). And road warriors can size up Dopplr, an invitation-only service to meet up with friends around the globe.
