We are pleased to announce the winning of our client app Joketeller at the “Facebook Applications Challenge, Brazil edition“, it won first place (unfortunately since it is a Brazil event, the news site is in Portuguese, you can get a translation here) and the web app owner received a sum of US$ 3000 as prize. We would like to congratulate our client on this win and also kudos to our team members Mahaboob Ibrahim and Gnanaghuru that put great efforts in making it a grand success.
Joketeller is a simple app that allows users to share jokes on facebook, a user can submit a text, image or voice record a joke live from his computer under various categories and grade their jokes. Other users are free to rate, share or embed this joke on their site. This facebook app used various technologies including but not limited to PHP, Flash, Red5, mySQL, facebook API, XHTML, AJAX and CSS. Much advanced coding techniques were used to implement asynchronous voting from flash, better embed on websites and clarity voice recording live from a computer. We really enjoyed working on this project and also the winning news only adds much joy.
Though the results of this app were announced back in March 16, 2010, we were notified only today hence a late announcement. Though this facebook app was a simple one, we have done several complex facebook applications for other clients for their social media promotion, social presence and interactive social web apps. To use us for your next facebook web app project, feel free to contact our sale representative.

Great Innovus Solutions private limited was founded in November 11, 2006 with a mission to provide quality and affordable services in Web, Mobile and Social network platforms. But since day 1, we were busy with client works that today we stand as a service provider with a clientele of 500+ clients and having worked on 800+ solutions for our clients. Being busy all time had only put us into less time to spend on our own website to showcase our talent.
Most of our clients ask us: “A web services provider with no site?“, we just reply them: “Yes, we were so busy that we did not find time for it and after all no one will pay for it!“, they reply “You are hired!” and business proceed as usual. But we thought to spare some our time to craft our own web site to showcase all our great work and team capabilities, this is needed to support our future prospects. But frankly we were forced to put a site by our investors 
We have exhibited some great talent for our own site too and it took nearly 4 working days to get the system ready for an initial demo, where we spent time optimizing and validating the site for standards compliance. Yes, the site is XHTML valid and CSS valid. The site uses the following technologies PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS, AJAX, CSS Sprites and many visual effects in Javascript using JQuery. We are slowly adding content to the site and also fixing, so if you find any thing broken, feel free to let us know!
We intend to use this blog as our corporate notebook to share news, thoughts, announcements and things that are interesting in tech! I hope you will enjoy your stay with us!
