Having a great time at the Atlanta Startup Weekend.  So here is the idea:

• Pre-Conference – everyone puts an idea into a WIKI for a startup company, with a short description
• Friday Night – The ideas get pitched, and the crowd whittles it down to a handful (3)
• Saturday – Coding begins
• Sunday – Coding finishes, and the final product is shown on Sunday night

Pretty impressive.  Last year they came up with Skribit (http://skribit.com/), which helps cure Bloggers writers block.  A year later its still moving forward.
