2008 SourceCon Sourcing Challenge 1 update - The Fab 5

Harry was chatting with 5 people online 15 min ago who are luck enough to get an additional 24hour head start on the rest of the competition. They are only 1/3 the way there but have the night to get a little further ahead. If you can find out who the 5 are, then they might be kind enough to give you all the clues

Harry told me he will be back same time same channel tomorrow

Good luck!

SourceCon Challenge#2 - So you’re Stumped !! Great Sourcers that you are !!!
