Things are moving fast for The Extraordinaries these days. They've just won $25,000 at the 2009 WeMedia Miami Pitch It, and are semi-finalists for the 2009 Echoing Green Fellowship. They are gearing up for launch in Apple's App Store in June and Jacob Colker has asked the DC Netsquared Community to help brainstorm around several key issue / theory areas. This Netsquared meetup promises to mostly be a two-way conversation! Come share your skills and experience to help launch this "extraordinary" new project.
When: Tuesday, March 24, 7:00pm
Where: Affinity Lab, 2451 18th St, NW, 2nd Floor, Washington, DC 20009
Hosted By: NetSquared DC, Affinity Lab, and Genius Rocket
RSVP: DC Net Tuesday
The Extraordinaries is crowdsoucring smartphone software that allows volunteers to perform tasks on their smartphones in just a few minutes. We allow anyone to do social good from any place on Earth within cell reception, and make the process feel like a game so that people regularly engage. We're not talking about any random tasks, we're talking about constructive use of spare time for science, medicine, nonprofits, government and more. Nearly anything you do on a regular computer you can do on a smartphone.
