It's quite a farce. One can excuse not launching the app (it would require some setup for each individual app), but not looking even briefly at the video is inexcusable. But I'm guessing they already picked the 5 finalists for PR-value well before the entries were submitted, so they didn't want to spend their party-time at Dreamforce doing something so boring as looking at hackathon entries.

i would excuse it if they didn't make such a big deal that you had to show source and that you should start a month early. when you do that, you OWE people a run. the way they did it, you didn't even get a little screen time to shine for your sweat. this thing needs to get rejudged in the open.
