Join For Freeten apis to join 3scale on startupbus
a month ago we launched a customer contest to select which apis would be presented by our evangelists to startupbus hackers.
we received many applications from all kind of apis from a diverse number of industries. sadly, our jury of kin lane, steven willmott, kristine jennings, and myself could only select only ten of them.
our goal was to select the ones that could help buspreneurs build the most amazing apps possible, and help their businesses.
today, we are really thrilled to announce the ten startupbus api contest winners – and they are….
