I built FlickMunk. The TechCrunch description is pretty off: the goal is to show a different visualization of movie theater schedules using your current location. To be honest, I am very surprised (and glad) of that result. In fact when it was my turn they couldn't project my laptop so they skipped me. I was pissed but they ended up giving me and a couple of others a chance at the end. I was very very close to give up and go home… and was just happy to have been able to present and left before the awards :) Anyway, cool surprise! Now if people knew how much of a kludge it is code-wise… Edit: and hat tip to Hipmunk for the inspiration!

Is it currently down or not working? When I go to http://disrupt.flickmunk.com/ http://disrupt.flickmunk.com/ all I see is a white screen with some times listed across the screen. http://i.imgur.com/hqWmq.png http://i.imgur.com/hqWmq.png - Using chrome13 Edit: maybe I need to be in SF for any theatres to show up?

  I'm not surprised at all. It's (or was) running on a small VPS with prgmr.com and was supposed to work for the demo and that's it. And it was pretty slow for just me already. As I said, the code is very inefficient, so small server+code slapped together+TechCrunch is not good. And you wouldn't need to be in SF to see something. It's supposed to work anywhere.

    Yeah. It seems to give me a white screen too. Could this have anything to do with it? var serverRoot = "http://localhost/~Tim/disrupt11/ http://localhost/~Tim/disrupt11/;

      :) No, because it's followed by 'var serverRoot = "http://disrupt.flickmunk.com; http://disrupt.flickmunk.com;. It's nothing personal though because it's giving me a blank screen as well. For some reasons the movie list returns empty. Anyway, it wasn't meant for public use at this point…
