The Google/Slide Quiet Launches Continue With Prizes ? Social Contests For Money
The Slide group within Google has been busy. Disco, the group messaging app, quietly launched back in March. Then last week, Pool Party, a group mobile photo service entered into private beta. And today the team is back again with Prizes, a service that apparently aims to link up people with a problem to those with a solution ? for money. Found at Prizes.org (which DotWeekly reported that Google secured back in April for Slide), Prizes is still in beta testing. But it is available for the public to use right now ? though contest creation is still invite-only. You simply sign up with Facebook or Twitter (no Google options) and you're ready to go.
