MindTalk Challenges Developers to Build Local Apps

MindTalk.com, a local social media tool (more adept to be called social channel), is holding a competition called MindTalk Apps Day 2012. The competition challenges local developers, individual or group (3 people max), to build applications using MindTalk’s platform for 24 hours nonstop (hackathon). MindTalk Apps Day 2012 will be held in two cities, Yogyakarta and Malang.
