Ning, Inc. (a social network platform developer) hosted a Ning Appathon kickoff event on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 6:00pm at their offices in downtown Palo Alto, California. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Ning, their platform allows people to create their own social networks for free in exchange for advertising and branding by Ning (most of which can be removed by paying a monthly fee). My first Ning social network can be found at CaneCorso.com.
From the Ning Developer Network:
What: The Ning Appathon is a week-long OpenSocial development competition with prizes for both original and ported applications.
Where: The competition is open to participants worldwide. All entries must be submitted by Thursday, November 12, 2009. Winners will be announced on Thursday, November 19, 2009.
When: The competition began at our kickoff event on November 5, 2009. Winners will be announced on Thursday, November 19, 2009.
Prizes: The Grand Prize for Best Original App is $5,000 (US). The Grand Prize for Best Ported App is $4,000 (US). Two Original App and Ported App finalists (4 total) will each receive $500 (US).
As a Ning network creator, I'm really excited to see all of the apps entered in the Ning Appathon competition for potential use within my social network, CaneCorso.com!
As a photo blogger, I couldn't help capturing these iPhone pics at Ning in Palo Alto to accompany the blog post I was already planning in my head! Ning offered a wide selection of Pizz'a Chicago deep dish pizzas (the one with fresh sliced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil was AWESOME!), stuffed mushrooms, chicken wings, salad, beer, wine and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages from their Ning beverage center! As a bonus to Ning Appathon attendees, Ning gave out some very cool zip hoodie sweatshirts...you can see mine at the end of the slideshow!
