Organized by the New
York City Economic Development corporation, the contest was organized to encourage citizens to think of creative ways developerss could use
New York City data to create applications. The winners, chosen
through a process that involved online votes and selections by judges
from the city, the EDC, two venture capital firms and NYU, received a
cash prize. Some ideas
could become reality in the upcoming BigApps 3.0 competition where
developers compete to create applications. [NYO]
