Voice of the geeks

 * Prashanth HN says, "I'm interested in engaging this community in developing amazing webapps using these new technologies and present it to the world. Most of the times we are the audience for the great work done in other parts of the world & 'wow' at it. It's time we create amazing apps and show it to the world. To start with, I have interest in creating HTML/JS/CSS version of http://visibletweets.com/ (Flash). This can be enhanced with Twitpic support and other similar services. Once done, this can be used in next DoctypeHtml5 camps, Barcamps, Devcamps & other events. This is just a small idea to begin with, others can bring in their ideas and interested people in community can join hands."
