Congratulations to Cynergy Systems! The Phizzpop Design Challenge Winner!

by Don Burnett

PhizzPop Design Challenge Finale Winner

From Phizzpop.com:

"Microsoft is proud to announce that Cynergy Systems (www.cynergysystems.com) has taken the title at the Finale at South by Southwest Interactive Conference in Austin, Texas on Monday, March 10th.  Presenting to a crowd of over 500, Cynergy presented 'Ben', a series of connected cross-platform applications that leveraged the power of Silverlight, Live Services, and VOIP.  At one point, the team called Barack Obama from a Silverlight Facebook application using VOIP technology.  Asking for some crowd participation, Cynergy had the whole room shout 'Hello from SXSW' to the Obama campaign's answering machine.  Congratulations to Cynergy for the win! "

Congratulations to Cynergy Systems for coming up with this really rocking application. The original problem was quite a nebulous concept, but as many times before Cynergy navigated the waters and came up with a super solution, a modern example of social networking that gives us a great example of democracy in action.. SXSW sounds very over the top from all accounts, wish I could have been there. I am still working on healing from the auto accident.

However, if you missed out like I did, check out this VERY COOL website, with great content from the South by SouthWest (SxSW) conference.. It's done with Silverlight and will give you a great idea about the level of great content provided at the conference..
