The Twilio & Boxee Developer Contest & Hackathon is a two-week challenge that encourages developers to create applications combining Twilio's telephony API with Boxee's media center service. The contest aims to bring together the worlds of telecommunications and entertainment, with potential applications including interactive ads, product placement, show check-ins, and food ordering. The winner will receive a Netbook from Twilio and a Boxee Box as soon as they become available. Hackathons will be held in San Francisco and New York City, providing an opportunity for developers to meet the teams, ask questions, and brainstorm ideas while enjoying snacks and other amenities.
