Social APIs have yet to be used in innovative and fun ways, to create new services for users.

This was a hot topic amongst: Salesforce, Klout, SimplyHired, Gigya, Context.io, 3scale, Alcatel-Lucent and Viadeo when they talked qt SF New Tech’s Bring on the APIs.

Now Viadeo is kicking off its Dev Challenge, welcoming developers to tap into Viadeo’s API to create innovative apps. The contest started on September 7^th, and will run until October 14th. The whole jury was at the API party last night, blogger Robert Scoble, SF New Tech’s Myles Weissleder, API evangelist Kin Lane, The Next Web’s Hermione Way, VC Richard Ling, Arturo Garrido and Viadeo’s CTO Christophe Thibaut.

If this awesome jury hasn’t won you over, the 20 000$ worth of prizes should do the trick! Have a look here.
