NetSquared.org MashUp Challenge NIXES Spectate Swamp project!

Swamp search is "THE" collaboration and sharing tool. There is no way us Swampies should have been disqualified.

They had some lame excuse citing: "as it is not a web-based application and therefore does not meet our definition of a Mashup."

When sharing the source code. It was my intention to get assistance in porting Swamp Search to the Net, Linux and the Mac.

It seems they only want non-threatening apps, that are built on their Advertisers hardware or software. Not something that could completely eliminate the need for a number of these Sponsors. Too threatening too powerful.
