Techcrunch Disrupt Hackathon Email madness

Jim England May 2, 2011 The organizers of the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon accidentally used :cc instead of :bcc to send an email, sending a message out to 450+ potential attendees. An insane email thread emerged with Convore groups, bio spreadsheets, and official hash tags (#TCLeakers) created instantly.

.@Techcrunch hackathon organizers just used CC, not BCC for all 500+ applicants. It's devolved into a mindless email thread. #EmailDisrupt
