Weekend Apps is off to create 20 Facebook apps this weekend. Another weekend startup event, last night started their big adventure. After a long night, a list of potential apps has been constructed and is now underway right now:
- Hitchhiker – your friends help you get from one city to another virtually.
- Dark and Stormy Night – group collaboration on writing a story, you add a part to a story, then pass it along
- Speed dating – chat over IM to meet potential dates
- Implicit dating – select people you want to date from photos
- Give friends to friends
- Social Match – you are matched based on common interests
- Web 3.0 page editor – a canvas page where you can drag and drop content
- App to promote peace
- Finds friends you should be friends with
- Lawrence Lessig for President
- Share blogs you read
- Deface a baby – you can draw or deface baby photos
While this is just a priminary list, we’ll see if the weekend a) meets it’s goal of 20 apps, but more importantly, b) actually launches some apps by the end of the weekend. Last night the group heard some speakers on topics from Facebook app development to the legal issues of start-ups.
We’ll see what makes the list come Sunday night — and what takes off in the upcoming weeks.
