Video Hack Day Round-up
This past weekend the first big, annual Video Hack Day was held in New York City. Organized by Ziggeo, sponsored by Google/YouTube (among a number of others) and held at General Assembly, it was a hugely successful day of hacking on video. We were thrilled with the amazing developers who came out and even more pleased with the diversity of attendees.

Winners and judges of #videohackday[/caption]
The winning hack, Crumb, lets you “leave video trails of where you’ve been” and was built using Ziggeo’s API for video recording/playback. Congrats to Team Crumb! Other winners included Falcon Moonshot (2nd place and winner of Ziggeo’s API Prize) that “makes it easy for a salesperson to conduct outbound (video) prospecting.” Its hack was built using technology from Firebase, Ziggeo, Amazon Web Services, Dropbox and Clarifai. And Aoki, a “new way to Karaoke” won 3rd place using technology from YouTube, Firebase, and Opentok.
You can find winners for the “Crowd-Favorite”, “Most Social Good” and our “Mother’s Day” prize as well as all other hacks here on Challengepost. And you can find a few of the hackers talking about their video hacks in progress here (using, of course, Ziggeo’s open source video wall).
Thanks also to our judges, Erin Glenn of Quire; Erik Nordlander of Google Ventures; Aimee Rawlings of CNN; and Albert Wenger of Union Square Ventures.
Video Hack Day was just the beginning of this month’s celebration of video here in New York City. We’re looking forward to LDV Vision Summit held on May 19th and 20th.
