The APPrentice challenge
We also set you a task. The challenge? To come up with a tweet-sized-pitch for an exciting new app idea and sell it to us in true apprentice-style. We had some interesting entries but only a few made the final cut.
So without further ado, here are the few who made it to the final boardroom...

@katerussell congratulations, you're hired! We were impressed with Kate's well-thought-out idea and follow-up tweets showing practical uses for her OOO-excuse app.
