This one is too funny not to give a quick mention here. Microsoft recently sponsored the Startup Weekend’s 54-hour coding marathon event. The event took place a few days ago, and attracted quite a crowd. It attracted developers and designers, all competing to win cash for the most compelling app built upon the Microsoft platform. Don’t ask me then, how an iPhone app named ‘Learn that Name‘ came out on top.
The Startup Weekend’s organizer Clint Nelsen was heard to whisper ‘Awkward’ when announcing the results. I’ll say. Check out the video above, and enjoy.
