Yes, a couple folks at those kind of events get a lot of press and attention, but everyone else just wastes their time.

- tzaman 14y agoYou are right - I'm not that familiar with the US scene, being from Slovenia (EU). My last hackaton was Copenhagen Startup Weekend, which I think is a similar event, since I "had" to code A LOT :) The good thing the emphasis was not on media/buzz, but connecting people (I guess that's why it was at Nokia HQ in Denmark :).
