Megaphone, a great project which came out of our Redial: Interactive Telephony course has been shown and used at a bunch of events recently. It was at Wired NextFest 2007, it powered a game at the Palm Centro launch party at club Stereo in New York and was presented at the Manchester Urban Screens conference.

Greg Beliczynski’s thesis project, iPLATEu, a social platform for motorists just won Digium’s “Most Unique” Innovation Award.

Congratulations Greg!

Most Unique:
iPLATEu, selected for inventing the first-ever social platform for motorists using anonymous, mobile-to-mobile voice messaging through license plate numbers. Created by developer Greg Beliczynski as a thesis project for NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, the iPLATEu hotline (888-iPLATEu) employs a hands-free, IVR menu system so that motorists can “plate” each other while driving safely with both hands behind the wheel.
