Mr. Jablonowski, who won last year's hack-a-thon with an app that used Twitter and Foursquare to determine the most "influential" person at a given place, carried himself with marked swagger as he demonstrated the bit.ly API on a laptop hooked into a projector. Earlier, when he walked in wearing a stripey V-neck, slim-fitting jeans and white Adidas, he had tweeted, "The king has arrived."

Puke.

The alleged tweet is obnoxious, but in his defense, he was asked to give the bit.ly presentation with no warning because no one from bit.ly who could give it showed up, and he had interned there. I also didn't really think he was swaggering or anything - though I guess I might have been looking for it had I seen that tweet.

But yeah, this is kind of overblown. He seemed like a nice enough guy, as far as I could tell.

Is there a link to his app somewhere?
Hmm, I can't find one. :/
Hard to judge when we can't even see a demo of the app. =(
