Yahoo India hosts mashup event

Bangalore, India was the venue for Yahoo's first Open Hack Day in Asia. Two hundred developers were invited to a non-stop, 24-hour hacking competition designed to create new mashups based on Yahoo's APIs, and supporting diversified services such as social media, video, Flickr imaging and local news.

Designed to champion local talent and showcase Indian technical entrepreneurialism, the event was heavily over-subscribed by developers keen to take part.
