Help Me Win a Blog Tournament!


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!

If you enjoyed this post, please share it!

    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.
