Last tuesday, 19th of May, me and my team were selected to go to the final in Portugal and we got the second place. It was a great result but I think we could have won the competion.
Our project is named Sharing Spot and it’s a social network where people can share objects that they don’t need anymore but that can be very important to other people. To enter the competition we had to do a video expressing our idea to this project. The video link is presented above. All the intervenients in the movie are the team members. All good actors…

Our project consists in three points: a web application in silverlight, a PDA application and a Windows Live Messenger add-in.
The web application allows users to add, edit, search and remove obje.cts. To get users to use our site we add the Windows Live Web Bar so every user from the MSN community can enter our site without problems. This web bar lets users from the MSN community comunicate with each other, even if they’re not friends. This fact allows our network to function globally. The website is currently under development but it’s already in an advanced prototype state. You can trty it. Just go to http://193.136.66.172/SharingSpot/SharingSpot.aspx.
The PDA version is available for download in the website to signed in users. The PDA version lets users do the same things that the web application does.
The Windows Live Messenger add-in lets users add objects to the site and share them with their friends in the windows live messenger client.
Experiment this application and tekk us your opinion so we can improve it.
By the way, good luck to the winning team. Hope you get a good position…
