In preparation for their upcoming participation in the startup competition at the LeWebtech event in Paris next month, Superfeedr has launched a competition to create “the coolest app” using their Comet API. All contending applications must be submitted by December 4th, and the winner will be awarded a free ticket to LeWeb on December 9thand 10th (worth $2,230).
The theme for this year’s LeWeb program is real-time web, and Superfeedr is one among 16 startups that will have the opportunity to present themselves to the jury. This competition is based around one of their rivers (freely accessible streams of data) – a global stream that you can get to from here.
According to Superfeeder, there is “no rule other than cool!” They are looking for an app that’s fun, profitable, useful, downloadable, open-source, and web-based. All apps must be visible by December 4th at midnight PST, and must be accompanied by a blog post or doc page explaining how it works.
