Commenting on the launch, Dan Griffey, Managing Director of Yodiv.com and OC Vision:

The DivVoted.com doors are open and ready for votes. There’s even some great site designs there to look at already!

The team at Carson Workshops (the guys behind such great events as FOWD and FOWA, as well as ThinkVitamin.com) have put together a list of useful tips and tricks that should help you when building your web app.

Yet again we agree with the Carson word, and if you are at the next FOWD (London) why not look out for us.
