01 Challenge
The Microsoft Imagine Cup needed a People's Choice vote on Facebook where every vote was secure, protected from hacking, spam, and overload, and visible in real time.
02 Solution
With Crimson Media, we built a Facebook voting application with a back-end admin panel, Graph API integration, a countdown clock, SMS voting, and individual team pages with video and wall features.
03 Outcome
Thousands of votes from more than 20,000 Facebook users, with no hacking, spam, or system overload.
