| The myGamma Developer Platform allows
developers to create networking applications that leverage the
growing popularity of the mobile internet. The platform provides
developers seamless integration with myGamma and access to a
rapidly growing community of mobile internet users. |
Mobile internet users want to
do more with their phones and are always looking for useful
services. These can cover the myriad (and fun) ways people
connect (party planner, movie recommender, etc) or the many
tools that help people with their daily lives (money management).
We have created several categories to help you along with
ideas. These include Fun & Games, News, Tools, Communication and Lifestyle.
Great applications in a thriving community invites growth through viral
marketing and can lead to business opportunities. You can choose to monetize
your applications through our Publisher or
Merchant programme.
Approved applications you build will appear as a link in your myGamma profile
page and in the myGamma applications directory.
