Egencie Launches PixeoStar Facebook Application
Madison, Wisc. - Egencie has teamed up with PixeoStar to launch “Photo and Video Contest Maker.” PixeoStar, a start up gaming company based in Madison, Wisconsin worked with Egencie to create Facebook’s only image-based contest application. The application allows Facebook users to start a photo or video contest among their friends and collect points for creating, entering and voting on the contests. The application spreads virally by sharing results and notifications with the creator’s network.
“We’re really excited to launch this and we’re looking forward to the feedback from fans.” said Lindsy Schafer, President of Pixeostar. “Egencie made the process very straightforward and simple. I don’t think we would have ever launched this fast without their guidance and involvement.”
The new application is designed to promote sharing and humor among friends. “I thought the idea was great and we think the final product is very distinct from any other Facebook app. PixeoStar has some clever plans to expand the application and allow points and prizes won from the contests to be used in social games” said Tim Baio, Managing Director of Egencie, Inc. “Some of their contests should be entertaining. Imagine voting in a contest called ‘Worst 80’s hair-do.’”
PixeoStar hopes to create other “feeders” for their main social game, due out this fall. “Our idea is to create various types of applications which get people into collecting prizes and points, then provide a very fun social game from which to use them” says Schafer.
