Just when you thought it was safe to return to the water…the App Challenge returns.
In conjunction with the XMPP API release, we have launched a second developer’s challenge, XMPP Real-Time Challenge through ChallengePost.com.
Developers can enter their application or plug-in based on the XMPP API for a chance to win a $2,000 gift certificate to Amazon.com. Submissions will be evaluated by the Collecta team to determine which application best exemplifies the potential of real-time results. AppMaster Challenge 2 entries are due on or before November 27th.
The XMPP API is based on the open messaging standard XMPP and is the same framework that powers the Collecta site itself. This new API means third-party developers can now push streaming results from Collecta’s broad base of social media, established news, and unique content sources directly into their applications, for a more engaging experience.
