Examples
Lee and Lenny
Lee and Lenny join forces to make a facebook page with a google map. Lee has an idea involving featuring local landmarks to recruite facebook fans. They discuss several variations on the original idea, and then set up 3 facebook fan pages for the categories they came up with. After some looking around they decide the best approach is to use google's Static Maps API. They get a simple map on the pages thanks to Lenny's html expertise. They run out of time before they can add all the landmarks to the maps, but they have a good idea of the next steps.
Sonny and Sonya
Sonny and Sonya go down the path of implementing "Twitter for beekeepers". After some discussion, they agree that Sonny's original idea (realtime video) is impractical, so Sonya suggests a more pragmatic solution using thumbnails and links to youtube videos. Sonya does some PHP and likes graphic design, so they make a quick logo (a bee perched on someone's arm) and a very basic PHP page with a form. Sonya has always been interested in simple youtube integration but hadn't ever bothered to figure out how until now. After Sonny sees the prototype he is struck with the idea of graphically representing user credibility as feathers, or wait, no, honey jars.
Pat and Pete
Pat has always aimed for the stars. He has in mind a large system (which he's been referring to as "The System") with an iPhone app, a web-based calendar, an event registration feature, and a feedback form. Pete says he's doing a project at work that needs a feedback form as well, and suggests they start with that. They try the Get Satisfaction feedback service, which someone recommended to Pete, and get a simple example working. It looks like a potential fit for Pete's needs. From that experience, Pat has decided it's a good idea to do a search on existing feedback as part of collecting new feedback and wants to do that in his app. However, The System needs to show a different feedback form to the user based on astrological sign, so they decide a custom solution is best. During what's left of their time, Pete suggests several ways to store the feedback and Pat decides he likes the JSON-formatted flat file option the best.
