As you know, I’ve been hosting my Gnomedex conference for the past nine years. We have just found out that this year, we will be sponsored by Microsoft Bing. I have some big news to go along with this… we’ll be giving away two grand prizes – $10,000.00!!! You have to use the Bing API to either help people save money, or be more environmentally friendly.
Enter the Will Code for Green! developer contest. If your economy or ecology-themed web application is chosen as one of the two grand prize winners at Gnomedex in August, you’ll win $10,000!! No, that isn’t a typo. I said TEN! THOUSAND! DOLLARS!.
Even if you aren’t a developer, you may have a great idea about how to make the world a greener place – or help people save money. Grab a dev friend, and share the project… and the prize! There will also be three runner-up prizes of $3000.00 each so get to creating!
Change the world. Make some money. What’s wrong with that?

Bing is a joke. Ten thousand bucks is a lot of cash, but it’s not worth promoting Bing. Microsoft needs to stop trying with things like search engines, portable music players, and operating systems because obviously – they suck. The Xbox however, was a well-made product. Bing will never supercede Google just as the Zune will never supercede the iPod.
