Facebook Hackathon Finals post-mortem
- Xcelerate 14y agoWow, this gets bigger every year. My team made it to the finals last year but there weren't any teams from Brazil or Ukraine. Paul seems to be doing a good job finding people all over the globe. I like the idea with Pond. I noticed that many ideas (even ones that didn't win) could be turned into viable businesses. Anyone on here go both years?
- gelgels 14y agoI don't know her HN username, but Amy Zhou (Princeton) and I think one of her team members won last year and was present this year.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI think that Music app is awesome.
- gailees 14y agoHad a great time with you guys! Great post!
- fatalerrorx3 14y agoAnd they say you can't please all the people, all the time...if this service really works as described, it seems like you just made that cliche obsolete (in terms of music selection anyway..lol)
- reledi 14y agoWill your team be releasing this app? Looks useful.
- dylanvee 14y agoNo, we don't plan to. Before every hackathon we get these delusions of grandeur about evolving our upcoming hack into a thriving business, but the morning after we're always left with, well, a big hack.
- pycassa 14y agoI know that feel.. keep building awesome stuff.. you will get there eventually :)
