Yes, it does. Skribit is still alive and well from last year's Atlanta Startup Weekend.
In defense of the other projects from this year, I will say that 6/8 projects are alive past the weekend. 1/8 died, and 1/8 is on ebay. I'm not negating anything Blake says - he hits the money on the head with his lessons learned - you just get to learn them a lot faster in a failed project. I just wanted to point out that Startup Weekends can generate something else - if the team composition is right.
