bart’s mashup gets 3rd place at mashupcamp
My good friend Bart’s mashup snags top honors at MashupCamp! Way to go Bart!
It’s called TrainCheck.
The mashup tracks the real-time schedules of trains–you type in a code (such as embr for Embarcadero on the San Francisco BART system), and TrainCheck sends an SMS or email message to your cell phone. It’s free for the cost your carrier charges for messages. It’s just a side job and not affiliated with the newspaper, the two founders said, and they don’t plan to monetize it. “We are trying to expand it and raise awareness among public transit authorities across the country,” said Solowiej. “It’s a new way to make their information accessible to the general public.”
