I’m finding the folks at Startup Weekend have found an idea that is easy to properly implement in only a weekend. The idea of the weekend was to cram 70 developers into a room and hack out an online business within a 72 hour weekend. Right now it is looking like they will be creating a voting platform to form a group consensus efficiently. They have put up a live video feed to listen to the discussion.
It will be interesting to see what business opportunity comes of this; namely, whether they come up with a creative business model or simply support it with ads especially given the time crunch.

Time will tell but we’re thinking bigger than a simple ad-supported model at this point.
Thanks for the write-up.
