Mashup Camp report, part 1

(Oh no, this means I've sunk to writing multi-part posts. Anything to get this out the door...)

Mashup Camp 2

Suffice it to say, Mashup Camp was most excellent. Bryan and I met some seriously impressive people there, the true leaders in the field. (In some cases, those leaders are 16 years old. More on that later.) It was also good to get updates from some familiar faces. The hallway conversations were fantastic, with interesting people to talk to from the start of breakfast to the end of dinner. (We had to sleep sometime.)

I presented a quick demo of PhoTiger, a mashup from Mashpit, and it got a great response from the folks who saw it during speedgeeking sessions. (Kinda like speed dating, but 4-on-1 and with a laptop. Or something.) Despite having some stiff competition, little PhoTiger got enough wooden nickels (votes) to win one of the third-place prizes. It wasn't the MacBook, but it was still a Major Award!

More to come. In the interim, photos of the event are available on Flickr.
