NetSquared.org $100,000 MashUp Challenge NIXES Spectate Swamp project!

Swamp search is "THE" collaboration and sharing tool. There is no way us Swampies should have been disqualified.

They had some lame excuse citing: "as it is not a web-based application and therefore does not meet our definition of a Mashup."

When sharing the source code. It was my intention to get assistance in porting Swamp Search to the Net, Linux and the Mac.

It seems they only want non-threatening apps, that are built on their Advertisers hardware or software. Not something that could

completely eliminate the need for a number of these Sponsors. Too threatening too powerful.

This is a great collaboration tool. Why was it excluded?

I may just have to take this Biggie Flatten'em Stone along with a couple of the others to the NetSquared MashUp.

    • I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
