Facebook Hackathon Event - [http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=16
Hackathon is a chance to work on the ideas we've been thinking about for the last couple months, to turn "Wow, wouldn't it be cool if..." into "Hey, I just built this cool thing." Sometimes the best way to find out if an idea is good is to t...ry it out, and that's part of what Hackathon... lets us do.
This time, we'd like to share Hackathon with you. Wherever you are in the world we invite you to join us in the spirit of building that idea you've been thinking about and put together a working version to show the world.
Join us in creating something! A new website, a clever widget, a fun game, a cool data visualization, a new tools library, a compelling design, or even an art project. Once you're done, show it off to your friends and family, or post links or video demos of what you've made to our Hackathon page [http://www.facebook.com/hackathon] and check out other peoples' work.
Who knows, maybe you'll find someone whose work kicks off a project you'd like to collaborate on it and it becomes the seed of the next great idea! We hope to be able to do this for all our future hackathons, so help us spread the word!Read More
