YEREVAN. - Google technology User Group Armenia participated in hackathon of CIS states involving participants from seven cities.

A hackathon, is an event when programmers meet to do collaborative computer programming.

It is the first hackathon involving Armenia’s representatives. Forum’s objective is to create an additional add-on for Google Chrome browser, one of GTUG Armenia coordinators Vardan Grigoryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“Over 50 add-ons were created during a two-day hackathon. In Armenia, the event was attended by 7,000 people who created two applications,” said Grigoryan.

He said that one of the applications will mark any page to read it later - it will constantly remind you that you have something to read. The second add-on will allow to highlight the text or a single word right in the browser and to see its translation with the help of Google Translate or Lingvo.

The two applications will be finalized within a month, while on October 9 the Google jury will name the winners of the best project in Moscow.
