There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Help Midtown Alliance and IPaT make Midtown Atlanta a center of technology innovation by joining us for the Midtown Buzz Hackathon, February 7th at 6:00pm - 9th at IPaT.
Build teams and pitch your idea for a mobile application.
Midtown Alliance and IPaT will award prizes for the top apps and will work with teams to help further their app development.
Midtown Buzz is an experiment in mobile innovation focused on engaging urban communities. It includes mobile platform and app development, open-source data curation, contextually aware environments, social navigation (via authentic tastemaker personas to 'feel like a local'), developer workshops, hackathons, trials, needs assessments and the creation of a Live-Work-Play "Laboratory" for exploring the potential of media technologies in creating a climate for continual innovation.
