Made In Express Contest – Finalists Start Coding
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Made In Express Contest, it’s a two-stage process where the first stage is simply submitting your idea (no coding involved) and if your idea is deemed good enough, then you will move on to Stage two where you will work on actually creating your project. We’ve just announced the finalists on MadeInExpressContest.com, below are pictures and details on their projects. Each contestant also has a blog where you can track their progress as they start coding and, starting in mid August, you’ll be able to vote for who you think should win the community choice award. Scoble, Phil Torrone, and Chris Pirillo are going to have a hard time judging
