Feedster Launches Developer Network with iPod Giveaway

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 8, 2004

Feedster, Inc., a rapidly growing Internet RSS search engine that provides easy access to relevant and up-to-date information for both consumers and web service developers, today announced the launch of its developer network and contest for best new applications and uses for its technology.

“To show our appreciation for the efforts developers put forth to conceive new and innovative uses for Feedster’s Search applications, we created a contest with a meaningful reward,” said Scott Johnson, VP Engineering. “I am often amazed by the ideas that are conceived as extensions or new applications to our technology. I hope this contest will provide added incentive for new ideas.”

iPods will be awarded to the winners for the best use of Feedster in the following categories: standalone RSS aggregator, Web application, invoking a specific category (i.e. jobs.feedster.com), tutorial for RSS newbies, advanced search documentation, Safari extension, Firefox extension, Thunderbird extension, with a publishing engine like TypePad or WordPress. iPods will also be given for winners of the oddest use of Feedster and a wildcard for the overall favorite application.

Winners will become Founding Members of the Feedster Developer Network, listed prominently in the directory with links to their winning entries and web sites. More information about the contest is posted on Scott Johnson’s blog.

The field is not limited to new development. In fact, applications that have already been submitted to http://www.feedsterhacks.com are qualified for consideration. Feedster Hacks is a weblog and directory for the various hacks that have been created with Feedster. A hack can include a boookmarklet, an advanced search mechanism, or even a useful way of using Feedster for RSS and blog search. Steven M. Cohen of librarystuff.net independently launched http://www.feedsterhacks.com recently to create a directory and central repository for new extensions and uses for Feedster’s search applications.
