As for this collection's inspiration, Bastian explains his influence of "the Extra Man," (a term first coined by a New York Times article written in 1974):

The web is vast and filled with brilliant things that we, at Valet., wouldn't normally cover or simply didn't think of first. Thus, we introduce The Edit—a snapshot of things you care about, sifted, sorted through and organized up-to-the-minute.
