Three hacks qualified for the Quasi-Official Nestoria Hack Contest:
* Hack #24: “Where to find the best second hand clothes?” - Our good friend Leo figured out which Oxfam shops are closest to pricey property. He put that on a Yahoo Map to produce a hit list for his wife, who is seeking deals on fashionable frocks. Very clever.
* Hack #65: “Pyzeta” - Angel and Daniel from Madrid created an application for a GPS-capable Nokia mobile that allows you to browser property listings around your current position. Source code and video demo are available. Fiendish.
* Hack #68: “Locality” - Dominic created an application that shows the relative quality of local councils on a Yahoo Map. We think it uses Nestoria data to determine average husing prices for the area and factors that into its scoring algorithm. Useful >and< fun.
The envelope please…
The winners are Angel and Daniel. Congratulations, lads! We will be in touch shortly to arrange delivery of your prize - a very sweet Garmin eTrex Vista Cx GPS device. We will program in the location of the Lokku office so you can come and visit the next time you are in London.
Furthermore - thanks to Yahoo and the BBC for hosting Hack Day. Several members of the Nestoria tech team were lurking around and were very impressed, indeed.
