If you haven’t already heard of SearchAppalooza, it’s a great search-focused developer challenge sponsored by Chitika. The five winners will be given the opportunity to present their app to a panel of experts at SES, including our own Larry Cornett. Because we’re all for supporting innovation in search, the Yahoo! Search BOSS team is sponsoring a prize for the winner – a Kindle 2.
