And it’s been quite the nail bitter. I entered this contest called My Dream App, and it’s an American Idol style elimination competition. The idea was that anyone could submit their idea for an app that they’ve always pined for, the winners (there’ll be three by the end of it) would have their app developed by some of the top Mac developers (it’s a Mac competition). There’s been 4 elimination rounds, and so far my idea… Hijack has been near the top every round!
Anyway, my idea is called Hijack, and it’s for message board junkies. It would be a stand alone app for aggregating threads from all different message boards into one interface. Kinda like email or an RSS reader. I post on a lot of boards (the Dope being one of the finer ones!) and have trouble keeping track of all my threads. If my idea is implemented, it will keep track of all that for you, and let you know when there have been new unread posts, and even how many, you’d also be able to post from it as well. There’s a bunch of other cool ideas surrounding it, which I have made mockups, both video and static.
Well, now we’re in the final voting round, and I fear elimination! Any Mac heads out there who want a killer app for keeping up with your favorite forums? Maybe you could help a poor brother out? 
Voting will be open until Wed (oct 25th) morning I think. They’re not telling you which percentage of votes are belonging to whom, but I have my suspicions that I’m red. Which would put me about 100 votes away from one of the 3 winning spots.
Otherwise, it’s been fun and interesting… wasn’t sure if anyone else from here was following it?
regards,
Kevin
