APIs & IPAs
blog.singly.com
on 04/25/2013
Excerpt: We’ve spent 2013 on the road, hosting a series of events called APIs & IPAs in several cities. So far we’ve been to Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Boulder, Denver, Kansas City and Chicago. Here’s a bit more about the events and why we do them:
When it comes to developer marketing, evangelism and outreach, we’ve dabbled in just about every approach. We’ve hosted our own hackathons, sponsored different types of hackathons, hosted online contests and attended, hosted, sponsored and spoken at tons of events. Hackathons have been great. They give us a chance to truly showcase our API and solicit direct feedback from people who are implementing it.... read the full post.

Singly Developer Challenge – Complete the challenge for a chance to win a Kindle Fire HD
blog.singly.com
on 02/05/2013
Excerpt: Last month we had a competition to build and launch an entire app for the chance to win a prize. This month we’re making it a bit easier. We think the technology we’ve built can make certain things incredibly easy, and we want to show you a couple of those things. If you complete these two challenges, we’ll enter you into a drawing for a Kindle Fire HD. Simple as that! Make a call to the Singly API to find something you did on the internet on 11/11/11. It can be a photo, a tweet, a checkin or a status. (If that day is empty for you, find one within a few days or weeks) [Hint]

RecBob + Singly
blog.singly.com
on 02/01/2013
Excerpt: This was originally posted on CQuartier’s blog, where he writes about progress on his mobile app, RecBob. We were inspired and flattered by what he wrote, so we decided to repost here. Enjoy! RecBob’s Beginnings
Before I can explain why I love Singly, I have to explain the path we took to get there. When we started RecBob our intial plan was to utilize Facebook by making RecBob a Facebook app almost exclusively. Our reasoning was that we did not want to have to recreate a social network just for RecBob, when so many people already used Facebook.... read the full post.

Hackathons: a launchpad for app innovation
blog.singly.com
on 01/22/2013
Excerpt: To those of us who work for API companies and spend more time on HackerNews than we do on Facebook, the ubiquity of hackathons may not be too surprising. But, as immersed as the Singly team is in hackathon culture, we were impressed to learn that 2012 brought 1170 hackathons – an average of 22 each week. Not all hackathons are in offices and coworking spaces. Take StartupBus, for instance. We went to AngelHack in NYC, DC, Boston, Seattle, LA and San Francisco this year. Here we are in DC. The trend of competing to traject an idea to a launched product in a limited amount of time existed long before 2012, but last year was when it truly became a global phenomenon.... read the full post.

blog.singly.com
on 01/15/2013
Excerpt: We made the trip to New York this weekend to hang out with Mashery, Twilio, Sendgrid, TokBox and scores of developers at API Hackday. Here’s a recap:
About 65 people came out for this day of hacking in New York, at The Alley coworking space. We kicked off the morning with bagels, coffee and API talks. As much as we love pulling all-nighters at 24-hour hackathons — seriously, we love that stuff — it was a nice change of pace of to attend a 12 hour, one day event. We did venture out into the city once or twice while were there:
And, in the end, we had choose a winner.... read the full post.
