There's something happening in New York City. New York Tech Meetup just announced they will be presenting hack demo at every one of their sold out events, New York's first Music Hackday is hitting this weekend and it will be quickly followed by Foursquare's first hackday the weekend after. Did the TC Disrupt Hackathon prefigure a growing trend here in the Big Apple? This past weekend Columbia students demoed their best hacks, concluding their week-long DevFest 2011. Students had a week of workshops from local startups like Foursquare, Aviary and Bit.ly. The results were team hacks for everything from Facebook-generated birthday cards to time-sensitive, class-based messaging systems. Demos were presented to an audience that included New York startup luminaries including Fred Wilson, Chris Wiggins, Dave Jagoda, Steve Jacobs, Justin Singer and Thatcher Bell. Here are some of our favorites from DevFest 2011.Wednesday, February 9, 2011
