Starting now, you can explore the zanox Application Store and discover new and powerful tools for your business: As one of our publishers or advertisers, you will be able to discover ready-to-use applications, widgets and software services. As a developer, you can now monetise your innovations and distribute your applications directly to our network of more than one million publishers and over 2,000 international advertisers.

Getting curious? To get a first impression of the zanox Application Store, check out our new video:

Along with the zanox Application Store, we also launched our new single sign-on solution zanox Connect, which enables smooth and easy application integration. This process is similar to what you already know from platforms such as Facebook: Once logged-in, you can easily use an application via just one click.

Since the application offer in our store will grow steadily, we implemented a quality benchmark system: Our established zanox AdRank will show how the applications are performing and a star-ranking system as well as a comment function indicates the level of satisfaction from previous users.

Last but not least, launching our new Application Store also means entering phase two of our $2 Million zanox Application Store Contest! Contestants can now start uploading their applications and take their contributions to the next contest level. Learn more about the contest on our Web Services Blog.

Two of our German pre-testers, the team Karsten Windfelder and Frank Schulze, already published a detailed review on their blog 100partnerprogramme.de. “The zanox Application Store as a market place for developers, affiliates and merchants is simply ingenious – and I really wonder why nobody has come up with this idea before. It shows the network’s fast-growing, future-oriented development, which zanox has been going through, especially in the last two years,” Frank writes, calling the zanox Application Store a “milestone for the affiliate industry”.  You can read the full review here (in German).

It will serve as a new open meeting point for publishers, start-up businesses and developers. Designed as a Think Tank for modern web-based business models, projects and partners in Silicon Valley, we created it to support new online talents. We would also like to use both Campuses, Berlin and Silicon Valley, as an open exchange space for all our partners across the US and Europe.

With our first US-based zanox Campus, we would like to invite the creative community in Silicon Valley to help us promote and pursue innovation within our industry. In return, we will offer access to our affiliate network’s infrastructure, our partners and last but not least attractive investment opportunities for the most promising business models. This is where our just recently launched  $2 Million zanox Application Store Contest comes in.

If you are interested in learning more, just drop by from 5 pm onwards today at the Plug & Play TechCenter in San Francisco: Our CEO Thomas Hessler will officially announce the new zanox Campus during the cocktail reception. Some first pics and impressions are to follow shortly! Hope to see you in the Valley soon!
