I finally got a chance to meet with some of the folks at Microsoft up in Redmond this last weekend during “Green and Geekalicious Hackday”. The event, which was was organized by Chris Pirillo, was held at the Microsoft campus and was hosted by members of the Bing team in their new mixer commons. It was a good chance for me to meet some of the Seattle area web industry leaders and some of the Microsoft employees that have been working on projects that we will see rolling out in the next couple of months.

Besides being your average web-industry tweetup, this was a chance for the Bing team to promote their Will Code for Green competition which is aimed at getting people to use the Bing API to make the world a greener place. They are giving out $10,000 dollars to the team or person that can create the best app and winners will be announced at the Gnomedex Conference in August.
Chris made a video of some of the “geekalicious” items that were being given out at the event which can be viewed below. Follow this link for more information on the Will Code for Green competition.
