The leader in social media monetization, IZEA, has pledged a total of $7,500 to the developer who is best able to integrate the new Sponsored Tweets API into a Twitter-focused platform. All solutions must be submitted by December 18th, and the lucky winner can use the cash to jet off for the holidays (or at least to offset their holiday credit card bills).
IZEA created the platform for sponsored conversations in 2006, and they launched Sponsored Tweets – designed to help developers monetize their Twitter applications by referring Tweeters and advertisers to their platform – just a few months ago. Details about the new API (including use cases) can be found here.
Developers should aim to integrate the API into new or existing Twitter-focused platforms keeping creativity, user adoption potential, and revenue generation potential in mind. The winner will receive $5,000 cash and $2,500 in advertising credit on Sponsored Tweets. All solution-generated referrals and revenue will remain with the developer, which means that participating in this challenge could generate income whether you win or not!
