Sponto To Awesomize The Events Around Washington DC

Sponto, the Washington DC based mobile party detection app that originally launched for college kids just launched their special edition Android app for DC week. The app allows regional tech community to experience DC week from anywhere in real time.

You and other participants will be able to form ad-hoc, spontaneous events simply by coming together with your phones in and around DC week events. Once detected, event participants can add their Facebook friends and post photos and descriptions to create a rich, real-time feed of everything that’s happening during DC week.

Sponto Gearing up to Awesomize Colleges starting with the ones around Awesome DC

Sponto is a mobile party detection app for college students built by one of the coolest DC entrepreneur, Jamey Harvey who I know since Web 1.0 era. Up until last week Sponto was only available to students at the University of Maryland where it’s been burning up the campus.

I wish they were around when I was going to college, because essentially what it does is tell you where all the free food, booze and hot babes (hot dudes like me in your case ladies ;-)) are near you!

Their app has enabled The GWU (my Alma Mater) as well as American University, Georgetown, Howard, Catholic, UDC, Catholic, Trinity, Gallaudet and the Corcoran School of Art.  If you’re a student at one of these schools you can register for Sponto now and start sharing parties and events.

America’s Best Colleges

Here is the list of America’s Best Colleges according to Forbes. I highlighted the ones around Washington, D.C. area including the two I attended, University of Maryland for my undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering and George Washington University for my graduate program in Telecommunications Engineering.

The Condoms are too Small for the Washingtonian Youth

The Youth in Washington, D.C have been in complaining about this and rallying against the free condoms distributed at high schools and colleges. They are saying the Durex condoms are too small and too weak. They are demanding for a much much bigger condom.

To fix that problem, officials have decided to stock up on Trojan condoms including the company’s Trojan Magnum brand.

Consumer Reports magazine gave the brand the same “excellent” ratings as many of Trojan’s similar brands.

The size issue however may have a leg to stand on.

Condom manufacturer Condomania concluded in a study that Washington D.C. men are the second most endowed in the U.S. behind New Orleans  😦  sh*t! What? We are rank 2nd! Well, given there are 50 States, not bad. not bad at all 🙂

D.C.’s aggressive free condom campaign began in 2006 to battle its rising HIV/AIDS rate. 3 percent of the district’s population has HIV and condoms are available for free in schools and online per request.

D.C. also recently started providing free female condoms at local barbershops, liquor stores and youth centers.
