Russian Social Network VKontakte Offers 5m Rubles to iPhone App Creators
If you can put together an iPhone application that enables VKontakte users to view their profiles, exchange messages, watch videos and do all the other things that VKontakters do, the company is ready to reward you with 5m rubles. It’s part of a contest they are launching to have contributors build their official iPhone app and expand their services into the iOS arena.
According to the Russian Gazeta, VKontakte is open about the features they want to see in user submissions:
“We want to create a ‘messenger’ app, a light version on a program that can exchange messages, photos and videos… You could say it will work like Skype, but without the possibility to make phone calls,” said Vkontakte press secretary Vladislav Tsypukhin.
