Yes, that’s right. At Mobile Monday Melbourne’s Inaugural Awards Night we got all the good photos!
Unfortunately we didn’t come away with any awards this time. However, our 2 nominations were read out on the night. We received one nomination for Best Consumer App and one nomination for Best Mobile Startup. Thanks mum!
There was some stiff competition in these categories, and the winners were Deck of Secrets for Best Consumer App, and the Voxel Agents won Best Mobile Startup, having had much success with Train Conductor 2 USA. Well done to Tom, Matthew and Co!
All The Gossip
Well, maybe only some of the gossip. SMS Global, one of the main sponsors of the event were revelling in the attention they attracted with their team of Conference Girls. Also referred to as the “Fembots” by some punters, the lovely ladies succeeded in collecting many a vote for SMS Global on the night! Is this kosher? Well I’m no rabbi, but the rules clearly state … erm … there are no rules. So I guess it is. Do we support this kind of vote rigging at Long Weekend? Certainly not for anyone who doesn’t make apps – sorry SMS Global.
Enough Blah Blah, Here Are The Photos

I did, but they’re not my type!
(above) More award giving goodness. Only one Fembot though. I think she was the leader.

I agree, the Fembots wouldn’t of received my vote… I wonder if Qatar employed the same Fembots?
