Projects

Twideo Contest
A social video contest platform
This is a project I worked on with Purple Raincloud. It is a social video platform that lets companies hold video contests where shares across Twitter and Facebook are votes. It has gotten some good participation and engagement so far, and it a great tool for companies to take advantage of the viral power of social media.

MyLinx
An affiliate-friendly URL shortener
Nothing too special here, I just thought there was a place in the crowded URL shortener space for one that allowed people to (somewhat) unobtrustively include affiliate links with the pages they shared with their audience.

Feedstomper
An RSS feed summarizer
A cron job consumes all user-entered feeds daily, and generates a new feed with just one entry comprised of a list of all that days' items.

DealBattles
A prepaid-bid auction proof-of-concept
A Sinatra & JQuery app that enables auctions in which bidders must pay for their bids in advance. Bids then increase the price only a small amount, and last minute sniping is prevented by a dynamic auction countdown clock. Integrated with PayPal for purchasing bids. Too resourse hungry for further work at present.
