I like that code is now measured in miles.

very useful service when it takes off. it's got a lot of potential in the event space where to this day signups are often tracked with pen and paper

This is cool, but I do wish people would not call a webapp a "startup" -- unless there's a viable business model and at least some semblance of a customer base. Otherwise, it's just a webapp.

You know where the real business is? Not building web apps, but providing extreme startup challenges. People pay you money to participate in coding and building apps in extreme conditions. Heck, you could probably pitch this as a reality show.

If you like Startup Bus, you'll LOVE... * Startup Canoe - Each team get's a canoe and is placed on the river. First one to build an app and finish the river course is the winner... * Startup Skydiving - Build a startup before you hit the ground * Startup Standing - You must build a startup without sitting down. If you sit down, you lose

I tell you guys, this is the Billion dollar idea...
