One of the primary reasons we opened up our platform was to start breaking down some of the barriers to innovation by allowing all developers to access the rich library of content, features and information on imeem. The imeem Media Platform enables unlimited possibilities to create great new media experiences. We’ve listed our top ten favorite application ideas below and hope developers will pick up some of these concepts, better them and bring them to fruition. With ideas ranging from recommendations to gaming, there should be something that peaks your interest.

On another note, it’s been two weeks since we launched the imeem Media Platform, and we’re very excited at the number of developers who have started to play with the platform. Remember to keep giving us feedback in the forums as you’re developing.

Happy coding!
