Future Mario, Twitter Demographics And Worst Phone Ever Win The #TCDisrupt Hackathon
Our esteemed judges include Soleio Cuervo, Chad Dickerson, Tarikh Korula, Jonah Brucker-Cohen, Shervin Pishevar, Don Dodge, Cyan Banister, Tom Igoe and our own Michael Arrington.
The winners are FutureMario, Twitter Demographics, and Worst Phone Ever. Future Mario is an application that allows you to play the Super Mario Brothers with voice, by blinking your eyes, and by tracking your eyes. Twitter Demographics mashes up Tweets with geolocation and demographic data. So if you search for a specific keyword on the application, you can see the percentage of Twitterers who Tweeted about the keyword within certain income ranges and even by political party.
Worst Phone Ever searches for baseband crashes on your desktop, uploads them, and saves them to a database. The results are tabulated and added to the total, eventually leading to a detailed class-action lawsuit.
Runners up include an iPad suction holder and Mr. Stabby, a robotic concoction made by the folks from NYC Resistor.
