Kynetx
For this week's contest, Twilio and Kynetx have partnered to give away an iPad to the best app built on the Kynetx platform that integrates with Twilio.

Kynetx is a platform for building apps capable of interfacing with users on any URL or web-enabled device. Kynetx Apps give developers a way to “Program the Internet” and solve problems in uniquely interconnected ways. You can easily write apps that look for events and user context (like geo-location, session behavior, weather and more), pull in a variety of data sources, then fire actions based on conditions across any URL (including smart phones, search engines, or any web sites on any browser).

Kynetx
To get started building your app, check out the Hello Twilio walkthrough which shows how to build a working app from scratch. Documentation is also available outlining all the Twilio features available to you on the platform.

Kynetx also provides a tour of their platform, a developer blog, getting started tutorials, and complete documentation. Also be sure to check out some example apps if you need inspiration.

Bonus points for putting together helpful materials (screencasts, blog posts, etc.) that demonstrate the value of what you've built, or explain how it could become a business someday.

The contest ends Sunday November 7th at 11:59pm PT. The winner will receive a 16GB Wifi iPad and $100 in Twilio credit. If you've entered the contest before and didn't win, you're free to enter again. Entries can be submitted here.

What's This Developer Contest All About?

Each week we announce a new category to encourage developers to try Twilio for different use cases, industries, and integrations.  As a language-agnostic platform for cloud communications, we want to see developers from all backgrounds find success and solve problems with Twilio.  To fire your imagination and reward your efforts, we've run this developer contest for over a year.

How To Get Involved

Submissions to the contest are due by Sunday November 7th, at 11:59pm Pacific Time, and can be submitted here.  If you need any help or want to bounce ideas off our Twilio developers, please join us on our forums or drop a note to help@twilio.com

IMPORTANT: Everyone who has submitted previously and did not win is eligible to resubmit (we love that we make the rules!) so if you built a Twilio app in the past but weren't a winner we hope you'll consider sprucing up you old app for another chance at winning!
