UMass Boston Web Application Challenge Starts Today!

Written by Timothy Downs | Jan 24, 2011

HubSpot is very excited to announce our second web application challenge. Starting today, UMass Boston students will be able to enter their Facebook/Flickr mash-ups to win awesome prizes, not to mention a shout out on HubSpot.tv! Our last contest featured students from Northeastern and they set the bar pretty high. But, I'm sure the UMass students are going to step up and wow us. 

Our parameters are purposely vague. A user should give the application permission to access their shared Facebook information and the app should use that information to show the user pictures they may find interesting. We want the pictures to be accurate, the interaction to be creative and for your app to fast and stable. Our last contest had profile picture mosaics, "living" grids, and some just flat out fast processing.

For those unfortunate souls that can't enter to win an iPad, check back here in a few weeks to find out who won!
