A couple of years ago, DCU student Allan Dixon became a minor internet celebrity after his homemade video, 'Bebo: The Movie', won first prize in a worldwide competition on social networking site Bebo.Last week, the same chap won a whopping €10,000 after scooping top-prize in the 'College Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2009' for his 'Event Wolf' social network, which uses Google Maps to allow people to share events and to view, comment and rate other people's events in the same way that people do with videos on Youtube.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Allan has already begun his next project: 'playTEXT'. The program allows you to post links to messages such as this and then click and drag the letters around to form new messages, such as this.
I think it'll work even better once he finds a way of encrypting the message text in the url so it doesn't give the message away.
Silly but fun.
