GG Mashup: The Google + Globe Mashup

After the recent Globe + Google Developers Workshop, now opens the Google + Globe Mashup. This gives opportunity for developers to create a mashup application using Google and Globe Labs APIs and earn from it.  Announced during the event, I believe that this will be a two months challenge and will end by 3rd week of August. And for the first 5 application submitted will get a one-year Globe DSL subscription or a Tattoo package. Not bad at all, and with the chance to commercialize your mashup apps.

Aileen Apolo then welcomed the participants and the speakers from Globe Telecom and Google. Read more…
