"There are less than 10 days left to send your submission to the Boss Mashable Challenge to win either the $2,000 Grand Prize or the $1,000 runner-up prize. We've received many submissions so far and will continue to showcase the best of the best on Mashable until the September 28th Deadline. Three submissions that will definitely be making it into the voting round are: Tall Street, BooYarr and Buzka.\nHow do you win? Build a kickass mashup \u2013 search engine or any other Web app \u2013 using the BOSS API and any other data sources/technologies.\nThis Week's Showcase:\n\nScreenshot:\n\n100 word description from developer: \"Tall Street is a new search engine concept where you get to rank the results. If you become a member of our community you become a trader on our directory where you get to play the search results like a stock market. This means you make investments (with fake money) on sites belonging to certain keywords, if when people search those keywords they find the sites you have invested in useful, you earn more money to further invest. If people don't find your sites useful then you lose money.\"\n\nScreenshot:\n\n100 Word description from developer: \"BooYarr aims to make search easier by improving access to the search functionality and by, more importantly, improving the process of navigating through the results.\nBooYarr works by having all the search functionality, e.g. web, news, etc. kept inside the browser sidebar, even the results are displayed in the sidebar. This means it takes significantly less time to conduct a search and you don't have to load whole pages in the browser window just to do a search. When we built BooYarr we also needed to ensure that it was easier to access the BooYarr sidebar than it is to use a toolbar or search bar, what we came up with was a bunch of shortcuts both keyboard and mouse.\"\n\nScreenshot:\n\n100 word description from developer: \"Buzka is a social web application that helps friends to share and organize favorites on the web. It\u2019s the easiest way to share and save a link by using just one Buzka Button. Favorites shared with the Buzka Button are saved and organized into folders which users can sort and publish on the web. Buzka gives friends a way to browse, organize and search each other\u2019s favorites and is a great way to collaborate and share knowledge - for work and play. BOSS search has been used to give users highly relevant content matching keywords within the context of nested folders.\"\nThat's it for this week. Less than 10 days left, so submit as soon as you are ready. If you are not developing for this contest, what are your thoughts on the submissions showcased above?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
