We're in the process of launching our first developer contest today, the SharedBook Open API Challenge. The 40-day contest will award the best extensions from third party applications to SharedBook in three categories: social networking, photo sharing and desktop applications or collaborative online communities. It is open to all programming languages.
Dion Almaer of Ajaxian.com and Benny Schlesinger, CTO of Jacada, will join a panel of SharedBook representatives (Ze'ev Bubis, Peter Budd and John Paul Lorenti) to evaluate the entries based on their business utility, originality and technical elegance. The winners in each of the three categories will receive their choice of an OpenMoko Neo 1973 mobile phone, a 4GB iPhone™ or $500.
We were inspired to offer a quick contest after it only took our developers a few days to show us a working example of the Blog2Print widget. Entries will be accepted through Sept. 30. For more information, please go to www.sharedbook.com/apichallenge.
