I read on the Web Addict site the announcement of this competition by paypal and FNB to reward a developer to win a trip to a convention. Check it out:
This year’s PayPal X Innovate 2010 will be held at Moscone West in San Francisco. The conference will feature presentations from industry experts, new product announcements and sessions that will give developers the tools and support they need to create the future of payments.
“The first FNB and PayPal X Award seeks to reward South Africa’s entrepreneurial spirit and jump start local innovation and new business ventures,” said Chris Savides, General Manager, FNB Complementary Online Services.
PayPal opened its application programming interfaces (APIs) last year, giving developers around the world the ability to monetize their ideas and build new payment applications on new devices and development platforms.
“PayPal has always stood for innovation in payments,” said Oded Zehavi, regional director of PayPal Israel and South Africa. “We are excited to partner with FNB to encourage developers to build their dream apps and make payments safer and easier for people in South Africa.”
I’ve got an idea, that I’m developing, for a social networking site where ¬†you can learn¬†how to build an online business. Who’s interested in knowing more?
Oh, and if you haven’t yet signed up with PayPal, what are you waiting for?
