Halloween weekend is upon us! To kick off the festivities we’re highlighting the creative team behind the Fotobabble application — turing your photos into voice-powered stories both on Facebook and via your mobile phone.

Whether you’re looking for a creative way to host a your own photo contest or need the tools to interact and educate your customers, creating a Fotobabble is a great way to do so. Thanks again to Michael DeLappa and the Fotobabble team.
