MDA Semi-finals: The time-restricted voter’s guide
ransomedhome.com — Here is a two-sentence summary of each application, in reverse alphabetical order. Note that the ideas generally have a lot more to them than I indicate here (skip to the next section if you want the current status of each project), and this summary is the “Cliff Notes” version for those not already familiar with the application ideas.
- 142 diggs
- digg it
- aaike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Useful summary of the current mydreamapp status that will hopefully lead to informing a lot more voters... especially since voting has been delayed.
- neiltc13, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Semi finals? There are 8 application ideas. Sounds more like a quarter-final to me.
- pyro116, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Semi finals: "of or pertaining to the round preceding the final one in a tournament from which losers are eliminated."
This is, in fact, the second to last round of eliminations. So... - whitestone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Actually there are 9.
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Don't forget that there are three winners of the competition, so they've only got to get rid of 6 apps in the next 2 rounds, three in each round.
- pyro116, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Semi finals: "of or pertaining to the round preceding the final one in a tournament from which losers are eliminated."
- trot71, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I hope they end up developing more than one of the ideas - there are at least two I would plunk money down for tomorrow to get in on the beta.
- whitestone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They will develop three of the ideas--so start putting away your pennies.
- MattL920, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Whistler looks too cool not to win. That one has my vote.
Plus, for musicians looking for a way to quickly jot down ideas it could be genuinely useful. Some of the other ones sound neat but are just toys.- sp3ccylad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Yup: Whistler is the dog's nads, as we say round Huddersfield. A tall order to program but my god: if it works, it'll be brilliant.
- linksdeity, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Desktop Wars has my interest
- MicrowavedH2o, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6until you read more into it, and find out that the guy who had the idea hasn't done anything, and the actual concept has changed dramatically from what he originally posted.
- o0joshua0o, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I would have preferred a time-restricted voter's guide to the California General Election on November 7th. I need to get this absentee ballot filled out, but I don't have a lot of time to read up on every candidate and proposal.
- random44, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Can't help you on the California General Election - but that's a really good idea. I'd like to do something like this for our general elections in Georgia.
- MicrowavedH2o, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wtf!? did you even read the summary? or the title?
- random44, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dude, I WROTE the article that got dugg. :P
I was responding to o0joshua0o, though I guess I did it wrong... - woobie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like the idea of atmosphere and desktop wars, but sadly its an apple contest, and i live in a windows world.
