This past june 24 Moove-it won the contest “Best ideas for Ceibal 2010” organized by Rayuela and the Ceibal Plan (One laptop per child), presenting its idea “Together with Ceibal”.
Moove-it was selected by the Ceibal Plan as the company who will develop the first social network for more than 400.000 students of primary and high school.
The idea is to build a web-based tool which will allow students and teachers to interact inside and also outside the classroom. The platform will provide virtual classrooms where teachers can work directly with their groups using all the benefits of the Web, Internet and XOs.Students will also be able to use the tool to meet each other, share their interests or even play together.
This video shows a brief idea of what the “Ceibal Plan” is.
It feels really good to be part of something like this!
Currently we are the developing team of blahsports. Since January 2010 we have been developing several new functionalities and administrating the whole Site.
Blahsports is a social content website. As a user, you participate in determining all site’s content by providing, selecting, sharing, and discussing articles, pictures and videos that you like and feel that would be interesting to other people.

Blah and technology
This project is based on PHP, codeigniter (www.codeigniter.com), Python and MYSQL.
It uses RSS and Web crowller application developed in Python to share all the sports content of a hundred sites.
We create a tag module which searches and identifies the language, sports and a set of tags for each content. For instance, if the content is “Forlan plays very well against Mexico” then the module will find out that the text is about Soccer, Forlan, Mexico and that the main language is English.
blah and a marketing campaign
We are making a marketing campaign to acquire and activate users. We have a Maradona t-shirt as a prize for the winner among all the registered users … see the site … http://maradona.blahsports.com
