Ribbit Killer app challenge win upto $100,000
Posted on | November 20, 2008 |
My morning started with a mail from Lisa Chand (contest manager), about this exciting opportunity for Flex/AIR developers. You guys must be aware about Ribbit’s Open Telephony Platform.
They’re challenging you to help build the next generation phone company
— by creating the ultimate Killer Voice Ware Application.
Using the Ribbit Open Telephony Platform, voice is now a programmable
feature that is free from the traditional device — giving you direct
access to the world’s first global, programmable phone company.
Ribbit is partnering with competitive software development community
TopCoder to offer the Killer App Challenge —
A chance for developers to create the next Killer Applications in five categories:
— Media, Advertising and Entertainment
— Social Networking and Communication
— Business and Productivity
— Carrier, Network, or ISP Integration
— Wildcard
The competition begins immediately and will conclude in March 2009.
Prizes
The winner in each of the 5 categories will receive US $15,000 and
will be eligible for the US $30,000 Grand Prize.
Along the way, we’ll have three early submission Checkpoints, where
we’ll award cash prizes to the best early submitters, and provide
direct feedback from our judging panel including Adobe’s Flash, Flex
and AIR Evangelists — so you can keep working to improve on your app
and better your chances of winning.
Everybody is a Winner!
These are your inventions, your applications. We don’t own them, you
do. Even if you are not selected as an official contest winner, you’re
free to bring your solutions to your customers or marketplace and
directly profit from your creativity.
