Our Cueburst giveaway is now closed, and we’ve sent out our gift subscriptions to our 5 lucky winners. Thanks for entering, and stay tuned for more great giveaways in the future!

Our season of giving continues, and we’ve got an exciting app to share with you today. Most of our web app giveaways are subscriptions for a certain length of time, but this time, we’ve got a self-hosted web app that you can run on your own servers or hosting account forever. Cueburst is sold on Envato’s CodeCanyon, but also has a brilliant companion site where you can learn more about it. Once you’ve got a copy of Cueburst, you can run it on your own servers and tweak it to your needs, so you’ve got the exact support setup you need for your company. It’s got tons of features, looks great, and just might be support web app you’ve been looking for.

We’re excited to have 5 copies of Cueburst to giveaway to our readers. To enter, just leave a comment telling us how you’ll put Cueburst to use, and you can get an extra entry by tweeting about the article and leaving a link to the tweet here.

Please Note: Envato staff or people who have written more than two articles or tutorials for AppStorm are ineligible to enter.

We’ll announce our winners after the contest is closed midnight Friday, December 30, 2011 CST. If you haven’t won anything in our Holiday 2011 Giveaways this year, perhaps this will be your chance!

No matter how nice your service or product is, your customers will need help with it. You’ll need to help them with everything from pre-sales questions to billing problems, from issues with your product to things you could have never thought of before.
