Six weeks ago we began our second API challenge. This time we challenged developers to build a creative, user-facing application on our XMPP API. There were some great entries into the contest and in the end it came down to two finalists:
David Bello’s CollectaAlerts lets you follow and receive realtime updates directly to your desktop and mobile phone.
Alvaro Videla’s Dashboard Widget for Mac OS X that allows you to search for terms using the Collecta XMPP API.
**Please follow the links and try them for your self.
But just like in the Highlander, there can be only one. Collecta is proud to announce the winner of its XMPP Real-Time Challenge…
Alvaro Videla! Your $2,000 Amazon gift certificate will be on it’s way shortly.
We thank each and every developer that took the time to use the XMPP API and submit to our contest, and we hope to see continuing use of the XMPP API in the future. Stay tuned for more fun announcements and
challenges from Collecta.
