    AAPark makes the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority's parking space availability information (http://www.a2dda.org/parking__transportation/available_parking_spots/) available via SMS. It uses a YUI query to scrape the DDA's website and the resulting JSON feed is rendered by a CherryPy web server and made available to SMS users via www.textmarks.com . It reuses code from my previous work on track University buses, which can be found at http://mbusreloaded.com/umbus .

    y!Vmail
     
    
    Submitted by y!Vmail
    
    
    Not everyone has a computer, but everyone has a phone.  This hack allows people to access their Yahoo! mail through a 1-800 number, using ANY touch-tone phone. 

Press 0 to open, * and # to navigate, 7 to delete. We figure out which emails are important, and read them first. We summarize long emails so that you dont have to listen to all of it. If you want to talk to the person, just press 5 -- we'll connect you.

APIs used: BBAuth, OpenMail, Contacts API, Term Extraction API

    Submitted by Twitty Hackers
    
    
    Know your Tweeple is a guessing game where you can find out just how well you really know your "Tweeple" (Twitter friends).

Basically, if you want to know what Hung is doing, just go to whatishungdoing.com.

    This is an automated system that lets people setup alarms and notifications based on their geographical location. Users can either select an "on arrival" or an "on departure" style of notification, and it will get triggered automatically through fireeagle's API, and it will also send them an SMS message
