Congratulations to the winners of the Facebook App Contest, sponsored by Student Computing: Nathan Sakunkoo and Patty Sakunkoo, who developed the Stanford Event Map app.
The contest was launched this past fall to encourage students to develop applications to promote student life (especially at Stanford) using Facebook's Application platform. Hopefully, these applications will further highlight how Web 2.0 and social networking technologies like Facebook can empower students and others within the Stanford community to collaborate, share, and build communities.
Judges commented that the winning app's usefulness and specificity to Stanford helped it rise to the top. Many said that not only would they find the Stanford Event Map app useful for themselves, but also that it has great potential for the Stanford community at large and would even recommend it to campus visitors.
