Title: I have always been fascinated with telephony programming (thanks, "War Games") and radio call-in contests where you have to "be caller nine" in order to win a prize.<p>Well, I have now developed a system that would allow any person/group/event/company/podcaster to run one of these call-in style contests just by administrating the incoming calls through a browser (instead of a giant 300 line switchboard like radio stations have). I have a working prototype, and the few people that have seen it thought it was a pretty neat idea.<p>My question is, would there be a market for this sort of thing? Would people/groups be willing to pay to be able to run such a contest?<p>I imagine this being used for things like: live podcasts that have sponsorships; conferences; internet radio stations; college radio stations; school fundraiser events; ad-hoc internet events (think twitter chats); etc...<p>What do you think?
