Locked: Support for Surf Excel Matic #GetSmart Contest

@ Renie You need to clear the doubt atleast now or it is bound to enter every discussion thread of contests

Yes Renie, this interaction thing is getting on the nerves of many of us...

Hi 

The interaction would involve - the quality of comments (not number) and your interaction with your readers on them and how you are able to drive discussions around the topic. In no way when we say interactions does it factor the number of comments.

A query cleared after a very long time. Thanks Vineet.

Yup, that reply was long due.
Thanks Vineet:)

i too had the same query..anyway its answered now :)

Dhatt! This one word disqualified me from the contest! My blog interactions are limited to 3 regularly sporadic readers!

All the best Pramod. Waiting for the autobiography of your stains. 

Thanks Ranjith, I hope to , thanks for the pushes

well...i guess Promod ji's autobio won't help him this time :P

Have a nice trip P :)

By the way, why only to Benaras?

Benares is nearest one dude, to my place. & killing two birds in one stone.

Why can't you wash your clothes in your house and why do you wish to wash your clothes at Benaras? 

ranjith, yehan thode oonche level ki baat hai, not washing clothes, the soul wash.

Oh Sorry Pramod. I was reading soul as soil all these days. Has the journey been completed?

Hi Pramodji! there is no better place to wash soul than Benares....a boiling pot of past, distant past and Indian religiosity ....happy journey  :)

Yo, Ranjith , I was wondering a time will come, we will be asked to give addresses to get the I pad 5 , like dove hamper was given.

I pad 5:)
Steve Jobs must be Happy watching it:)

@ Pramod Is any sponsorer coming forward to do that? 

@pramod, I hope the time comes soon!!!

@ Renie everyone needs an i pad here. Please bring the sponsorer for it soon. 

Gautam, neither do the posts need a slogan nor do they need a drama like a commercial. Its a blogging contest! Write how you usually do if it were any of your other blog posts! And all the best! 

Blogging all the time! 

@ Ranjith : If it would be being on Inditalk all the time, I would have had better chances 

All the best Uma

Well you do write well and you better keep up your hopes...you could win for sure...nice post

playbook!!!! i want a playbook!!! please anyone who wins it, give it to me ok? :p

Sure, but lemme win it first :P ;)

Writing for the playbook instead of the i pad isn't recommended. What is you win both the i pads or infact more than that for multiple entries are allowed? You may give one to me and one to Pooja 

but i  want the playbook :( 

@ Avi To ensure that you get the playbook, simply submit multiple entries and become the first IndiMember to win more than one prize. 

@ Pooja Sell the i pad and buy your playbook 

Well as I said I am a die heart Android fan, but, if I will get any one of these, it would be great, as I could shoot a video review of them for my tech blog. But...

@Ranjith: Win both??? Yeha ek jinte k wande hai... :P

If I win both, I will go creazy & give one to the first perosn I will meet loll...

@ Pooja: Why Playbook? You have your iPad 2?

@ Mods- BTW, iPad 2 =??? 16/32/64GB??? You know... It will become an extra inspiration for us.

Assume it to be 64 GB and write... so that you will be really inspired. It might most probably be a 16 GB since the details are not given 

@ Ran - what if it's only a WiFi only? How to use the internet on the go... I need that desperately 

25 th November is the last day to submit your entry. Closing date of the is simply the last date by which you need to submit your entry.

But still, it is recommended that you submit your entry as soon as possible so that your post and thereby your blog gets more exposure and unforseen circumstances may crop up in the alst minute.

And you can edit your submitted blog post as mnay times as you want till the 25th of Nivemebre (though I am not sure of it)

All the best

Yup its best to submit your entries as soon as possible...

And interesting prizes too... :-)

great ,too fast, rajashekar, i have not yet plotted a concept. 

@ Pramod Ji - You will almost got your iPad 2 from the other competition, what you will do with another one? or you want Playbook this time?

P will gift it to me :)

hehehehe, no comments dude, I see every post, other than mine, to be better than mine, 

DS, yaar, life is your's dude, but jo mila nai, uske liye sapana kaise dekhe, just fingers crossed.

P, very good answer... Was just kidding:)

hmm... but jo mila nai, uske liye sapana kaise dekhe, just fingers crossed.

Sir Ji fingers crossed rakhiye till the last submission date of this contest  We will be highly obliged. Moreover, after (according to you IF) you win your first iPad 2 in few days time, make sure to keep yourself busy with that & avoid this  

Yup, that is the topic. You can write any post on that topic. And then submit it in indivine through the Contest Page as you say, simple steps, just follow them...
All the best:)

It's just like submitting other post links, first write about it on your blogm then come to the contest page & click on submit entry, then submit it like normal ways. Bingo... 

and thanx avi. didn't see ur message.  getting used to this platform

I personally think that interaction plays a very small, if any, in deciding the winners. It is the creativity. And you can link back to the surf site if you wish but that is not compulsory. You can also link back to the indivine page of your post, asking people to promote it if they like it. But that too is not necessary as votes do not matter in winning the contest.

Thnks for clarifying DS

I wonder if any tie breaker arises while judging the posts!

I dont think so.

I suggest that you write in English itself. What if teh judges don't understand Tamil?

varun, it is disappointing, but I have seen none of family members take you seriously, or comments. only bloggers, and blogger friends with whom we interact, do comment. & it becomes like family. i have a great circle of fb friends, but no one has time to look at them even.

so write best , and make great friends, & best wishes.

I accept with Pramod on this issue. Family members and friends are more faithful than other bloggers when it comes to following a blog closely. But they hardly comment. What is the need to say something on a blog when they talk directly to us daily?

that's correct - interaction is a criteria - how the judges judge interaction....anyway, participation is thrilling ...what is in one's hand is ...let the post go...rest relieved with what wud u do with your rest of 22 hours :)) 

Very important issue, both Varun & Pramod ji well pointed out. Family & friends just follow, hardly read or comment, even the FB or G+ friends.

You need to create your fan base on a forum like this or through email database.

e mail database! I never heard it till this very day! 

yo dude, waiting for your take.

Am trying my best to write for this contest abhi, hope you are too:)

All the best abhi 

Contests do increase your pageviews. QVENDO has done it for me recently:)

That is what makes every contestant happy: seeing the counter run at high speed
