digg api contest winnersDigg, your favorite social news site, ran a contest to celebrate and promote the release of the Digg API.

Entrants to the contest used both the Digg API and the Flash toolkit to create interesting works that could be viewed in flash and on the Adobe Apollo platform. Submissions ended on May 16th, and the work started for the judges who narrowed things down to the top 10.

Criteria for the final decision was based on:
  • Effective display of data
  • Usefulness
  • Creativity
From this point Digg users got their say. Check out the winners on the site. This is just another great example of what we get when companies open their API's for developers to tool around in.
