What is eCommerce Hack Day?

eCommerce Hack Day is the first-ever New York City hackathon bringing together the brightest minds in the eCommerce space.

From August 4th to 5th, developers will create awesome eCommerce hacks using APIs from companies like Zappos, Dwolla, and Etsy. At the end of the hackathon, the developers who create the best, most inspiring apps will receive prizes.

Who: Over 250 friends in the eCommerce space

When & Where: August 4-5, 2012 @ The Alley (f/k/a Hatchery500) in New York City

Why: To unite the eCommerce industry and build some awesome sustainable hacks

This was organized by Dwolla.

There are so many companies that Bitcoin already interacts with.  

- Dwolla (API used by Mt. Gox, Camp BX, Intersango, FastCash4Bitcoins.com and more)
- Twilio (API used by Coinapult for SMS)
and a host of others (SendGrid, Shopify, and others.)

Here's the APIs & Ideas page:

Signup is done here, I believe:
