Hello,?
We are interested in developing a contest/give-away Facebookapplication where people can enter basic data and receive winning/losingnotifications via SMS and Facebook message.

Additionally, the app will need to pull and displaythe photos of all users using the app.
This application must interface with Facebook Connect andallow for users to sign up for SMS/email notifications within the app. Userscan also register offline via incoming SMS or Facebook mobile (iphone,blackberry, mobile web) registration. Eventual iphone app incorporation may beincluded in subsequent iterations. Auto-respond SMS & social media messageswill be used to notify users of app winning entries, etc.
