360Flex API Contest results!
If you were at the keynote in Milan, you got to see the winning entries in the first ever 360|Flex API Contest!If you weren't fortunate enough to be in Milan with us (missed a good event), you'll just have to scroll down. :)
In the eBay category: Thai Huynh with eBay lite! Congrats!
In the Ribbit category: Andy Powell's Hotel Search & Call
And the last category...... The Degrafa/Community category: Tony Fenndall with PostaCard!
We'll be contacting everyone and setting up delivery of "the goods". We'll also be making changes to how voting is handled (no voting many times a day, for yourself) and things like that. This was very much a 1.0 attempt.We really like the idea and bringing people out to show off their skills, as well as highlighting really cool API's, so look for our San Jose contest to be stronger, better, faster, than the ATL/Europe contest. If you have an API you want to showcase, then drop us a note about it to info@360flex.com.
We also want to give another special thanks, to Ribbit eBay, and Degrafa for letting us extend the contest. We really appreciate it. We received several more entries during the extra month and all were really great examples of the technologies. To those who didn't win, don't think your apps aren't worthy, they all rocked! We loved them all!
Congrats to the winners!!! Look for an email regarding your prizes!
And speaking of eBay, if you haven't heard yet, they'll be playing host to 360Flex yet again in August. People love the eBay campus, so look for these tickets to go fast. Sign up now!

Tony's app sure looks a lot like the one Andy Powell created
Tony and I have actually merged into one person with split personalities. It's all cool though.
While John is off jetsetting (well, trainsetting) to Venice, I'm still at the conference hotel. After much digging in the dumpster (Europe dumpsters not as roomy as US ones), I managed to find the super-secret sealed envelope with the votes and winners. It was indeed Andy's app. We just wanted to make sure he fessed up to it. :)
Sorry about that mixup folks.
Congrats to Andy and the folks at Universal Mind ... and thanks to everyone else who used Ribbit in this contest. It's very cool to see what you're working on and we will def stay tuned. Great stuff!
They don't look the same to me? Or were the images mixed up before?
Congratulations to all the other winners! And thanks to 360|Flex for organizing the competition.
@Tony Yeah, there was a typo earlier but it's now fixed. :)
Hey Tom...
Be careful about that dumpster diving.
I got arrested for doing that once...
- The Saj
@Saj Why am I not suprised by that comment? :)
@all,
my bad guys. Andy, sorry about that!!! They do all rock, and I'm glad Tom got it straightened out!
My bad, guys!!!
It's been almost 2 weeks, and I haven't been contacted at all.
Just checking that things are still coming along ok...
@Tony,
Tom will get in touch with you to get your game system to you. I've got Ebay's I'll be getting it off to Thai this week.
Patience my friend :)
