It’s been a big week so far. We announced our stellar judging panel yesterday, including Mike Gerholdt, Brett Queener, Gordon Ritter and Robert Scoble. We even got some love from the mothership. Well, it just got bigger—Round 2 of community voting kicked off this morning and is in full swing. We’ve pitted the top 8 apps against each other. Only 4 will make it to Dreamforce ’11, where they’ll get to pitch our judges, à la American Idol.

So there’s no time to waste, help us pick the Top 4. Round 2 closes at 2pm on Friday. Voting is easy.

  1. Go to the official AppQuest ’11 landing page to view our Top 8 bracket. Click on any app.
  2. You’ll be taken to their individual listing. Simply “Like” their listing to make your voice heard (if you don’t see a “Like” link, you’ll need to “Like” the following listing page first).

Each of these apps kick butt. But because they’re paired in brackets only one of them will make it based on total votes. Over the next 2 days, we’ll profile each bracket pairing.

The first one is Ariba Contracts on Force.com vs Cirrus Insight
