I got this tip off from Michael regarding an interesting contest that
could get you some great recognition… and cash! Come up with an idea
for a local search app, submit details, wait to be selected, submit a
prototype, demonstrate it, Win!!
Some details… Citysearch and IAC are on the hunt for a killer, local
mobile/web application for our site Sidewalk.com. We recently announced
the launch of our “right here, right now” contest to find a brilliant
idea for a local mobile/web app that focuses on making life easier. The
creator of the winning application will win a $10,000 grand prize, and
possibly, the opportunity to develop and manage a new business venture
with up to $1 million dollars in funding and receive an equity stake in
the new Sidewalk.com venture, and access to the Citysearch publisher
network allowing them to instantly monetize traffic. Check out all the
