Mashup Camp 2 – Brain Pain, but the good kind


Mashup Camp 2, day 1 wraps up with  here at the Computer Science Museum.

Despite some good presentations, I think the Speed Geeking Session was the best part as in Mashup Camp 1, but it seemed the mashups in the competition are not quite as strong though there are several good ones and I only saw about 15 today.  David Schorr’s   WeatherBonk, which almost won Mashup Camp 1, is back and better than ever.   He’s got GolfBonk as well which is very clever.   The best viral marketing idea was a mash of maps and myspace called Frappr.com

Frucall‘s callback with shopping data was neat and Intel’s up to some great stuff with their shopping mashup that takes a *picture* of the UPC and fetches shopping data.     Also strong in this space SecretPrices.com

Some of these are too complex to digest, especially on the tiny screens some people were using to show off their applications (Marc, dude – you call that a screen?!) But his PeopleAggregator roll your own social network looked really promising in many ways.  Yobie’s online mega shop GoodStorm.com also needs a lot more than 5 minutes and has very powerful features.
