Microsoft’s FUSE Labs releases teamcrossword beta

I got to spend some time with the FUSE Labs teams from around the world this morning, taking a look at their recent projects and listening to some insights in to how Kudo is being used.

The team snuck out another project this week with Team Crossword. It’s not a major project for the team and was developed by 3 members of the team during their semi-annual creative week.  You can read the full back story on how it came about but it takes the Tully’s coffee bar idea I have seen around Seattle and puts it on the web.

The interactive, team based crossword puzzle uses ASP.net MVC 2, jQuery, SQL Azure, Visual Studio 2010, and of course, it's hosted on Windows Azure. The actual crossword puzzle data is provided by uClick LLC.

Have fun with it!
