4. The Results?
First Prize: Raidarrr!
A geo-location based mobile document sharing. Think Stumble Upon meets Google Maps. You’re an
artist, a writer or a musician and want to share your work at specific locations with friends and
strangers. Pull out our mobile device, upload the content, set the number of shares and let people
discover your treasures.
Second Prize: Bike Pool
Melody is an avid cyclist and rides to work every day. Even the shortest distances can be dangerous
as a solo rider. BikePoolApp is social-media based application that allows fellows riders to
connect, shares routes and bike together for safety. Hey, while you are at it, share your weekend
adventures and make some new friends on your two wheels.
Third Prize: Textabl
Say you’re in the mood for Sushi, but it’s always more fun to “roll” with your friends. But how do
you let them all know in an instant what you’re thinking? Well, launch Textabl, connect via
Facebook, create an event, invite your friends and each one will get notified by text. Any response
will be posted on the event page and in no time, you’ve got a party. Enjoy!
Peoples Choice: ePoints.com
To all employers and employees out there, take the pain out of your next open enrollment and make
the process fun. Two thirds of the companies out there don’t have software to manage this process.
Let’s start rewarding employees by introducing a fun and interactive process.
