A Startup A Week - Episode 1 Day 2

Posted By: Kevin Leneway | Apr 22nd @ 8:49 AM
We're back with day two of a new online reality show called "A Startup A Week".  The concept of the show is to bring together a few of Seattle's top developers and designers, pitch them an idea for a startup, and give them just one week to take the idea from concept to reality. 

Today the team got started building out the Facebook application.  Our developer Adam walks through the basics of setting up a Facebook app using Visual Studio 2008, our designer Jay gives a 3D preview of the virtual computer lab, and our producer Stephen runs into the first setback of the project. 

With only four days remaining, can our team come together and create a startup in a week?  Stay tuned for new episodes each day this week to find out!

We never captured on camera the "revolutionary change" I was asking for. Basically, the idea I came up with was to switch from asking for direct donations to going to an ad based model. Making that switch was too risky. We would have to come up with something that was so entertaining it would reach millions of people virally. We had thrown around some ideas on day one like "donate your favorite books." However, facing the fact that it was Tuesday, I didn't fight for a revolutionary change. I thought it would be enough to leverage Jay's great design skills to create something that was beautiful to look at - and thus compel visitors to donate.
