Testimonials
Daylife is a perfect fit for our strategy of presenting the best and most tightly focused content, whether it is produced by us at USA TODAY or anywhere else on the Web. It helps us provide our readers with a full 360-degree view of a given topic, and adds depth and richness to niche areas important to our readers and advertisers.- Jeff Webber, SVP, USAToday.com
You guys have what seems like an amazingly powerful and easy to use API, we're pretty excited about playing with it and possibly integrating it with Hubdub. - Tom Griffith, Hubdub.com
It's amazing how simple this is to integrate into django. When a view is creating a page, it just calls a thin wrapper function that I put around the daypi module. - Bracket Boy
I found the Daylife API for PHP really easy to use, and coded something up quickly for my site, Brooklyn and Beyond - Brooklyn & Beyond
This tool makes it really easy to get a quick look or dive in deep thanks to our partner Daylife, who built a comprehensive service that yields up-to-the-minute results - The Washington Post
I was trying to make it work by using Google News RSS feeds but turned out impossible since they don't organize their data in the feeds. I now know its possible with the Daylife API - Akash Xavier
Entry Questions
I was browsing the contest entries <i>after</i> the contest ended and I noticed a new entry posted just after the contest ended. Is it still eligible?
What about incomplete, partially-functioning or non-functioning entries?
We accept the last entry (4 minutes late!)
SamOwen,
Thank you for the question.
The last entry came in at 12:03 AM EST of July 26th. Technically, that is past our deadline.
However, considering that the contest entries are coming from all over the world from several timezones and the delay was a couple of minutes, we have decided to give this entry a benefit of doubt in good faith and accept it as part of the contest.
On the matter of editing entries - The users will not be allowed to make any edits to their entries. However, I myself am going through each entry, adding any missing screenshots to help judges understand the entries better. Plus, I will be asking questions to individual participants in case we need more information about the entry. All edits to existing entries will be made by me after ensuring that there are no no new features being added.
Hope this helps clarifying your doubts!
