  Webcast: @hackNY Class of 2011 DemoFest today 28 July 6.30pm #nyc #startup 

  The Internet Society’s New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) will present a webcast of hackNY’s Class of 2011 DemoFest tonight July 28 2011 from 6.30pm to 9.00pm, live from NYU’s Courant Institute. This year the number of student fellows is up – from last year’s 12 – to 35, representing 19 schools from 17 Universities.

  The hackNY program, of which ISOC-NY is fiscal sponsor, pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment: a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup. At the DemoFest they will show the results of their efforts.

  Where: Courant Institute, NYU
  When: July 28 2011 – 6.30pm – 9pm EDT | 10.30pm – 1am UTC

  HackNY Spring 2011 Hackathon – April 9/10 @NYU #hackny #nyc 

  Once again ISOC-NY will be a co-sponsor of the HackNY Hackathon event at NYU. This is a two day event – on the first day local start-ups present the latest and greatest in applied programming interfaces (API) then after a frantic coding all-nighter (pizza, doughnuts and coffee are provided) teams of students present their best efforts to crank out original applications. The 2010 Fall Hackathon drew in more than 200 students from more than 30 universities – so competition is fierce. The public is welcome to attend the judging which ISOC-NY will also webcast live.

  What: HackNY Spring 2011 Hackathon – judging
  When: Sunday April 10 2011 (Noon-2pm)
  Where: Warren Weaver Hall Rm 109, 251 Mercer St, NY NY 10012
  Who: Free. Public welcome. Capacity limited.
  Webcast: https://livestream.com/internetsocietychapters

  4food – an Internet-enabled burger emporium at 40th & Mad – opening on Sep 7 

  Caroline McCarthy, of CNET News, in Is this the burger joint of the future?notes the coming  opening of 4food, an Internet-enabled hamburger emporium at Madison & 4oth in Manhattan.

  The three-level space is impressive, with power outlets at every seat (your receipt comes with a Wi-Fi password) and a massive video screen that projects, among other things, recent tweets and public Foursquare check-ins to the venue.

  It’s green..

  4food openly professes a devotion to high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, and all packaging for food and drinks–which, by the way, are primarily fruit tea-based concoctions without a super-size cola in sight–is biodegradable. A massive compost machine in the restaurant’s basement can handle 400 pounds of waste every 24 hours.

  and has, of course, viral marketing

  4food encourages customers to save their favorite burger combinations in the 4food system, give them catchy names, and use the likes of Twitter and Facebook (and even YouTube video ads) to convince their friends to buy them. Every time a custom burger is ordered, the creator receives 25 cents in 4food store credit.

  4food’s stated aim is to ‘De-junk’ NYC and they are giving food credits for the best suggestions.
