Seattle Startup Weekend is underway at the Adobe offices in the great state of Washington. Skillbit is designed to be a social network for your office place, aimed at building community through the sharing of skills.
Seattle has been bringing the classic SW challenges:
- People don’t like the idea, so they leave and don’t return
- Rogue groups form
- Challenging task placed on either a huge group of people or a very small group
- etc.
The group is working on launching by 9pm tonight (a lofty goal in any startups view after only hours of working on a project). We’ll see how the first SW of the 2008 year turns out.
For those tracking Startup Land, here are some future weekends that have been planned:
More to come as more is known…enjoy!
