EveryCity Support Comic Relief

March 10th, 2009

I’m pleased to say that we are supporting Comic Relief with their campaign.

Comic Relief Status App

 The Comic Relief Status donate application which lets you donate your status to Comic Relief to allow them to post a message each day to help raise awareness.  The application also helps promote the FunnyForMoney application which was the winner of the Hackathon (see below). 

The app was created by iPlatform who do great things integrating isolated brands social networks/hompages with Facebook, MySpace and other apps.

Facebook Developers Garage Hackathon

Not long ago there was a Comic Relief Facebook Developers Garage Hackathon. Three teams came together on a Saturday at Microsofts office in Knightsbridge to compete to create an application which would help raise money for Comic Relief.

The winner, FunnyForMoney, is an application which allows users to create jokes which get ranked according to how many votes they get.  For a user to vote they need to donate £1 to Comic Relief.

You can find more information and videos from the event @ www.comicrelief-hackathon.com
