The guys at SlideME and I discussed about the SlideME Awards contest and due to lack of community interest, we are putting it on hold for the time being. We are changing our focus and will be concentrating on content delivery and services for professional developers so stay tuned for those announcements. Some of you will be receiving personal invites to beta test Slideville, our new AppStore in Songbird. We will also be disabling registration within the next few weeks as we transition the systems.
For those interested, we have GData style feeds setup here: http://jv.slideme.org:8080/atomserver/v1/applications/apk that you can play around with. This is a dev instance, so it will be going up and down. We will also be rolling out more feeds that open more of our system to 3rd parties vendors/developers.
