GetYourIDX to run Developer Contest with CASH Prizes
Online, November 18, 2009 (Newswire.com) - What could you do with property listings? We want to show the world what is possible when you combine different web technologies. Are you a Google Maps Master, an iPhone Application Enthusiast or have a great idea on browsing property listings, show us! Your applications can be as practical or as out there as you like. Lets get creative!
To get you started developing your application, we will give you free access to the GetYourIDX test feed, containing data suitable for developing and testing your application.
We have no problem with you using any of our GPL Open Source Plugins as a starting point or you can create your own entirely new application.

Once you have completed your App send us a link to dev.comp@getyouridx.com and let us know, your name, what your application does and what you see its benefots are.
