My first contest I participated was "Soch lo" contest, in which one had to dramatize writep of divorce, and how you would handle it. My post was good, but at that time, content didn't matter much , just votes. And I was new. So didn't get much votes. So didn't win. Then serious debates ensued whether vote count wins are good or not , pros & cons, etc. Then vote begging issues too came up. So, thevote count win system was over & done with for the better.
I can't rem. First person at indie, but first true friend at indie was Unknown, then the list grew.

    In those early days contests were very far and few.

    Arvind Passey
    from Delhi |

    I remember that first contest i participated in was the one where one had to write a short-story on the Fiat diesel car... and I did not win though I was actually in love with that story that I wrote.

    Strangely, the results of the second contest that I participated in were declared before the Fiat people could decide on their winner... and I was one of the winners in this. This second contest was where I reviewed the Samsung Tab and thus not only won a Tablet but also became an official Mob!ler for Samsung.

    I wish i could remember the other 'firsts'...
