Esendex Developer Competiton – Judging!


Esendex Developer Competiton - Judging!
This morning it was judging time for the Esendex Two-way Text Developer Competition. ??I have been looking forward to this for some time. Two-way texting offers huge, huge potential that is poorly realised by a lot of companies and individuals. I was hoping to see some innovative ideas and concepts that would help go some way to encourage more use of two-way texting.??I wasn’t disappointed. There was a shortlist. I was thoroughly impressed. That one! Oh, ands that one! Ah, that one too! Fellow judges Mike Short (of o2 and the Mobile Data Association) and Esendex co-founder Adam Bird, had made a good stab at identifying the possibles as I arrived. We all came at the competition from different viewpoints so I think the results, when formally announced, will be brilliant to examine.??I can’t wait ’til I can talk about the results and do some cheerleading as I’ve got lots to say! We should be able to publish an announcement shortly…
