Well, it’s come and gone in a rather quick fashion. I have plenty of thoughts to share for the upcoming days, but today I’m going to start with an overview of the weekend.
This weekend about 60+ people in DC meet up for DC Startup Weekend. Friday night we decided to launch a social network for communities about what’s going on in their neighborhood, HolaNeighbor. Friday night left many in the group frustrated over a lack of direction towards where HolaNeighbor could go. I was really nervous we’d have about 10 people on Saturday morning cranking out an unflushed vision.
Saturday morning came with a new excitement as development (myself included) start cranking out some basics of the site. About an hour in, …

Sorry for the delays in posting as I’m wrapping up my vacation in Vegas. This weekend (which is still going on), West Lafayette’s SW has been very successful in developing ScrollTalk. Per Andrew Hyde:
