After four tiring-exciting-stressful-fun days, we'd like to introduce you to our new little buddy, HelloApp.
The idea is simple: When you arrive at a conference, you just say where you're sitting, via Twitter. Once you do that, you can …
1. Search for people with a certain skill-set (ie PHP, jQuery, CSS3, marketing, etc) and see where they're sitting
2. View the seating diagram colored based on Twitter follower count
3. Search for a specific person in the audience and find out where they're sitting
4. View the seating diagram colored based on whether people are Designers, Developers or Businessmen
5. Earn badges and points by meeting people and completing tasks. If you earn a high enough rank, you'll be able to post public messages to the entire audience and win prizes.

"I remember Dennis mentioning the Flat Classroom project in class last week. I'm hoping to do something with my class which connects them to students in other parts of the world. The flat classroom looked a bit too ambitious for me and my sixth graders, but it looks really cool! I'm not quite done exploring the site, but want to share a cool video that they have on their website. Here is the URL--of the website-- I tried to figure out how tumblr could help me share, but failed.
