GameOn hosted Mass Innovation Nights number 56 (wow 56 already!) on Tuesday night 11/12/13. What could be more special? Well, maybe a World Series win at Fenway Park :-) but anyway... The theme for the event was fun and games and the products on display were indeed fun. The four chosen presenters were:
It was a pretty good crowd for a cold November night.

Rednote lets you send snippets of popular songs with text messages, email, Twitter
and whatever other online social conversations with choices based on
emotions, sort of like an audio emoticon. Music definitely makes a message more memorable and texting definitely needs something to give it a little more feeling.

Oh, and Rednote had matching T-shirts with song lyric snippets and QR code on the back, so they win Best Costume of #MINFun. All other matching T-shirts paled in comparison.

The two busiest tables were
Brass Monkey and
Tablelist. Brass Monkey's new Flip iT game was so popular that it was hard to get near the table. People were having a blast playing it.

Tablelist's
app helps you book a table at amazing nightclubs and lounges. Maybe the reason their table was so busy was that everyone was booking the after-after-party. They did have great swag to promote their great idea
, so maybe that was part of their popularity.

AECyles had their nifty Freedom Cycle, a tricycle for grownups. They're aiming it at aging boomers (yikes, that's me) and folks who are not able to ride a traditional bicycle because of disability or injury. This is a big improvement on the traditional adult tricycle.
