Locked: Support for Surf Excel Matic #GetSmart Contest

Ooopsy! so Sorry! Ranjith*! :)

so when will the winners be announced...and can u change ur post multiple times??? as in u can make changes in your same post multiple times.. thats allowed right??

I love the varied perspectives different folk have. Just amazing how differently we can all use extra hours! Fabulous.

Isn't it ironic that though time is a fundamental entity, its relative to various folks in various ways. Its like magic :)

Forgot to add,  all the fiction wirters, I would have loved to see subject of a man on death bed handling the two extra hours and how he would tackle the entity "time". It would be heart warming.

I really didn't know how productive 2 spare hours could be... until I read some of the posts in this contest. There are a few questions that are clamouring for answers. Hope someone can answer them:

1. What kind of content turns out to be  a winner? Is it technically sound content, statistically sound content, or simply creative content that rules?

2. Can good, readable content be offset by indivine votes? I have noticed one funny thing about indivine votes... they do not necessarily mean that the person who has voted for you has actually even gone to your post and read it... and this sounds so ridiculous! Indivine votes appear so much like a tight group of people bent upon keeping their posts on the first couple of pages all the time... isn't it actually criminal to do this?

3. There are plenty of posts that have content that takes entirely different routes and is as convincing as any other... yet even the most exhaustively researched content sometimes loses out... why? What could that unnamed factor be that has the power to even dwarf good content?

Hope we discuss these points...

To answer your point 1) Why would this even be a question to anyone? This is a blogging contest and number of entries do not matter. So you may write as many posts in as many contexts as you wish. Write in both the above contexts.

Point no. 2) Forget the votes. An option is available to put up the title of the post and 400 chars of best possible description to summarize your post. Why not search for the one that you like. Blogging is about perspectives and one post which you like might not be the one that I do. 

I am not the right person to talk about your point no. 3. You may directly raise this point with [email protected]

I completely agree with Varun and that is why although I have an abysmal number of votes for my post, my blog is just 5 months old, I have been on Indiblogger for only three months and have a very small network- I STILL HOPE TO WIN. 

I submitted my post but it doesnt show up in the surf excel list. How long does it take to show up there?? its under family and parenting but not here.

Ahh.. Yes indeed.. Whew... Dont wanna miss that chance for an IPad or a playbook :)

And Swapna, your post rocks. You have full chances of winning too :)

Dave, buddy, your post rocks too. Loved Sarah's story.
