Geeklist, a social networking site for developers, recently hosted #hack4good, a 48-hour global coding marathon during which more than 2,000 independent developers in 21 cities created applications to help world charities solve various humanitarian and environmental problems. The marathon’s purpose was to unite the world’s software developers and tech industry leaders to find technical solutions to the world’s greatest social challenges. #hack4good began last Friday night and lasted through Sunday night. Participating cities included Kathmandu, Nepal; London; Minsk, Belarus; New Delhi; New York; San Francisco; Tel Aviv; and Toronto. Just as one would expect in a coding marathon, there was a lot of coding, a lot of coffee and very little sleep, according to Reuben Katz, founder and CEO of Geeklist.
