Help Me Win a Blog Tournament!

by Ben Yoskovitz

Instigator Blog has been entered into the 1% Army - Canadian Marketing, Media & Digital All-Star Tournament.

There are 128 blogs in the competition.

In the first round I’m pitted against 3 other blogs:

To compete, I need to submit my top 3 blog posts of 2007, including one that’s been written since August 11th.

The posts I submit will be rated by the following criteria:

  • overall impact (20%)
  • clarity of thought (20%)
  • did it make me want to think/act differently? (20%)
  • did it make me want to comment/participate? (20%)
  • originality (20%)

Although the tournament’s focus is on marketing, social media and media, I’ve been told that I can submit posts on any topic. I’ll want to include something related to those topics, but there should be some variety as well.

To save you the time of going through everything I’ve written in 2007, I’ve picked a bunch of posts for consideration. Feel free to nominate others though!

Please vote.

You can pick as many posts as you like, but try and stick to 3 maximum.

Note: If you click on a story link, it will launch a new window so you can view the story. It will also turn on the checkbox next to the story, but that doesn’t constitute a vote until you click the Submit My Answer button.

And a huge thank you to everyone that participates!

Not yet, but will do. I have to read the articles first (I don’t remember everyone of them).

Thanks for linking the post! I’m in that competition as well and I didn’t know it started up.

engtech - Oh oh, I didn’t know you were in that competition. I’m doomed!

Best of luck to you…hopefully you’ll vote on my posts anyway, and let me know what you think were my best of 2007.

Have put my vote in for you. Think some of your posts are really original so you should have a good chance. My favorite has to be how to start a company and have a family at the same time. Good luck.

#8 Ben Yoskovitz

MDB - Thanks. I think that’s one of my favorite stories as well, and one that I will submit to the tournament.

Please use your real name or a handle that's not driven by trying to gain SEO / Google Juice from my blog. If you put in a "name" designed for SEO purposes, I will edit it. I support the DoFollow movement, but this is also a community, and comments are meant to inspire discussion, not gain link love. Thank you!
