Erica Adams Well - we tried to hold our contest - but guess what - Twitter went down! Instead of seeing the dreaded 'fail whale', this time, we were all treated to a pop up to log into their staging server. Nice one.

We will reschedule the Twitter contest for the same time, same place next week - Thursday, October 2nd.

We did, however, happen to get our September question out there, so we won't reuse that one - that would be too easy! Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully this gives everyone enough time to brush up on their SmartyPig trivia and win big next Thursday.

Contest will be

  • Thursday, October 2nd at 3pm CST.

It was a blast!

Michael Ferrari FinovateStartup San Francisco showcased dozens of the startups in April that are innovating at the intersection of finance and technology to an audience of hundreds of press, bloggers, analysts, VCs, industry leaders and banking executives. The conference was centered around two action-packed sessions of short demos (Including the one below by SmartyPig co-founder, Michael Ferrari) by the presenting startups and two hours of high-quality networking after each. FinovateStartup 2008 was a huge success, as you'll see here. And we are looking forward to round two in New York in October!
