i was strangely and pleasantly surprised to get an e-mail this morning to find that ekibot had won 3rd place in the “social good” track of ideajam.

excerpt from the e-mail:

Thank you so much for your efforts and fantastic ideas and presentations!

We have 15 entries in the first ever Social Good track. It was a really, really hard decision to pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners …

I would encourage you to use any of the folks on the cc line or me to help in taking your idea to the next step.

3rd Place (TIE)
ekibot (Waltham) – we loved the idea to inspire small individual action, the ability to move “savings” into an account for a particular goal, and the social networking element!
