Salesforce $1 Million Hackathon Update - Two Winners

They do address it, they lie by asserting that every apps was viewed twice when it's clear that was not the case unless there are dozens of developers lying about something random which I'm pretty sure isn't the case.

@zaguis, can you point me to anyone else besides @colabi that is claiming that their video has not been viewed? I genuinely want to investigate this, but after searching for a week I can't find anything concrete.

Since you are confidentially asserting that you believe that salesforce employees are lying, it would help everyone if you could identify just a couple of the dozens of developers that you reference.

If you do so, I will investigate their specific situation directly.

What comprised a submission? Is it possible that an app was legitimately reviewed and dismissed before the reviewer made it to the video?

Put another way, I look at a lot of resumes that have personal links/CVs on them. 90% of the time I've decided no before I get to them, making their inclusion irrelevant. Could this not have happened?

Or salesforce employes that were pressed into evaluating this, just took an easy way out and viewed apps without watching videos.

More likely the judges were lazy and lying to Salesforce.
