BTW Louie3030, I just mentioned that b/c I happened to view your blog and you have the most extraordinary art work :)

How about we make that the 3rd prize, Crkian

I can make one in clay, won't look like a sculpture or the BC logo but will last for days

AngieA on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

AngieA — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:33:20 -0500

I think its worth $2500. and I was just kidding about the fine sculpture piece of art, unless of course we can get Louis to create one that has a BC logo inside of it. LOL

AngeldaVinci... you are right!

Perhaps we should do this in an offline meeting... however...what we will do, if you agree, is raise the first place prize to $2,500 as you are right .... we are asking for ideas that will make BC the "most extraordinary Blogger Social Community on the internet".

Is that what you want to do?

If yes..then I will start a new thread with the announcement of the larger first prize.

AngieA on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

AngieA — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:27:01 -0500

At Least $2000. and a fine sculpture piece of glass art

TonyB on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

TonyB — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:18:27 -0500

I suppose so. What do you suggest the prize should be.

AngieA on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

AngieA — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:17:43 -0500

Let me get this straight, ......your asking our own BC members to come up with a great idea that will make BC the "Most Extraordinary Blogger Social Community on the Internet " and we are only giving a measly $1200. as the 1st prize?
We can do better then that SPP,.......no?

PrettyLady on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

PrettyLady — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:07:15 -0500

I thought so.

TonyB on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

TonyB — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:05:14 -0500

PL... probably a good idea.

PrettyLady on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

PrettyLady — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:01:06 -0500

Yes they still exist and email it is. I think I'll wait to the last second to enter. :-P

TonyB on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

TonyB — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 00:59:24 -0500

PrettyLady...

Really whatever delivery method you feel most comfortable with.

My guess is email is the easiest and probably the most effective as you can attach a word doc or other type of file. Plus saves the trip to the post office (do they still exist?)

PrettyLady on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

PrettyLady — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 00:57:12 -0500

Do you prefer us to send it by email or regular mail. I have some ideas.

TonyB on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

TonyB — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 00:55:02 -0500

Louis3030...

Correct. No relatives of BC employees or owners are allowed to enter. If however they do enter they are not eligible to win the prizes.

So far we have one entry. If you have ideas... you should consider submitting them as at this point by default you will either win or come in second :)

We will make the winning ideas public after we have added the features to blogcatalog.

..no, I wasn't referring to you, ghostytwofish (honestly, I don't know what dis. inn. potential is either).

OH! So 'disruptive' is a GOOD thing. :D OK, thanks!

Hope you weren't referring to me ... I really don't have any idea what "disrputive innnovation potential" is. ;)

TonyB on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

TonyB — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 16:38:07 -0500

Louis3030 is a good example of a disruptive innovation.

Disruptive Innovation is a functionality that we add or change on BlogCatalog that results in total transformation of how bloggers use and view social network sites like blogcatalog.

scottalk on 'Win up to $1,200 in the BlogCatalog Big Idea Challenge'

scottalk — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 16:35:20 -0500

Great idea, Tony!

p.s. Even though they truly ruin these discussions and make people not want to visit, read and/or participate, never mind the smart @ss comments.

What is "disrputive innnovation potential"?
