you only have to do what your minds tells you, not what others have done - thats called creativity

You have to do something on your own and not copy other's stuff! 

You will never know till the results are out, Kamlesh. Whatever the companies think is good for their product. Companies which rely on their product will choose posts that do lot of blah blah about their product. Companies that are looking for more top of mind recall for brand want the brand mentioned a hundred times in the post. Companies that are trying to build a brand and looking for cool assocoiations will be on look oout for anything positive and creative.

how can everyone be happy if its hidden??

It seems they were busy changing the logic behind it.

Old one was giving more emphasis/weightage to popular posts.

In Colgate contest, I could never see my first post and even others too did not find it- as  it received 0 votes.

(or, that post was a wretched one )

@ Nandini

There are some people who like the contest entries being sorted based on votes because they are capable of getting more votes - have good number of people in their network, ....

I'm sure they didn't like the introduction of random display ( which started around a year ago )

To make them happy, Renie might have hidden the random page and displayed popular page on the first day.

Now, others gets disappointed. So, the default is changed to 'Random' from the second day.

So, everyone is happy. 

@ Avadhoot Let us propose a new ordering of posts which satisfies everyone. 

@R: you can't please all with the same trick. 

Well I second your thoughts. Characters can be used by many...but the dialogues and all shouldn't be same. 

You know on second thoughts, few quotes *might* be the same. For example, I have chosen Sheldon Cooper and used some of his dialogues. I can't accuse someone else if they use the same! (Like 'I am not crazy, my mother had me tested')

Agar main khoj ke laa doo to kya milega?

Check in "My Indivine posts". Note that it would correspond to a date you actually submitted the post. My oldest post is in the 3rd page in my posts, I think!

@ Rio - Kya chahye :P 

Well jyada nahi, Mac book se kaam chala lenge somehow

Hahaa  - toh fir mei khud hi dhundh leta hu :D 

Someone distributing Macbooks? 

Poochne me kya jaata hai Ranjith.  Tata sky 

Keep asking Rio. And if someone says yes, don't forget to inform me. 

Sure buddy, anything for you

You can start with my tea time posts 15 in total

Even I am curious to see who did 14. I was the one who started this glorious tradition with 14 entries for Vodafone contest last year.

@ TF Why don't you search manually? 

TF - This guy should have broken your record of 14. Anyways he has equalled it ;) Kudos to you two

Stephen - See Rio's comment. He broke my record in the very next contest after the Vodafone - The Stayfree Change contest.

Oh ho! So your record was already broken by Rio. :D I can't even think  to break my own record of 3 ...so 15 is a distant dream for me ;) Lets see if someone breaks Rio's 15 

Let me see if I will be able to break Pramod's record with ITC contest. 

Even If I don't win, I'll get Rs 6,400 worth combo packs. 

what were the prizes for vodafone and 15 post wala contest?? this macbook prize is worth a lot so can understand people going berserk.

There was a macbook too for the Vodafone contest and of course a free trip to IPL finals ;) 

... and Stephen won those tickets and a PlayStation. 

oh cool....then the mehnat is worth  else nobody wud do so much mehnat for some kindle/tab

I never thought that a tablet was cheap. 

I concur with you. I too have one post which I wrote with a lot of heart and it's stagnated at the bottom, and the other one which was a result of random wanderings is seeing quite some daylight. 

Shaumik, thanks for that. Now that is what i call brains... atlast! someone sensible posted something useful!

I can finally see something other than whinings... 

Hey guys, just leave the results to fate... everyone did his/her best! No use whining now 

huh, thanks 

Nice stats drawn.

You should have calculated the percentage to a few more decimal places. 

Result will be declared on 5th of July, so have some fun till then  AIR will go to the right heir....

Results are expected on 10th not 5th.

by 10 th and not necessarily on 10 th  

You think they will be out before the said date? Even if it comes on 10th, it will be nothing short of a miracle!!

no no, exp says by means 10 th and onwards. i just wanted to say not necessarily on 10 th.

Don't wait. Results never come on time. Will uncessarily lead to frustration.

I feel that the results will definitely be out on 10th. These days, IB is becoming more and more punctual. 

See,

the url of your blog post and the url you submitted are different.

The link you submitted for the contest has 'and' but not in the url of the post.

replace  the url of your blog post by the url you submitted for the contest and you are done. :)

http://idontsharedesserts.blogspot.in/2013/06/a-blast-form-past-present-future.html

Your indivine link directs to a different post, which has the extra -and between the words 'present' and 'future'. To change the link of your post, do the following:

1. Open Blogger > Posts.

2. Click 'Edit' under that post which you have submitted as the entry.

3. On the right side, you'll find a Permalink option. Note that this cannot be changed when the post is live. To edit this, first click 'Revert to Draft'. Then the link becomes edit-able. Choose 'Custom Permalink', enter the link with the '...-form-past-present-and-future...' (WITH THE '-and', NOT the link you've given above) and then hit 'Publish' again.

4. Your indivine link should now be fixed.

(NOTE: I'm relatively inexperienced here and I'm not sure if a link to a post already published on Indivine can be edited. It'd be better if other people on this forum verify whatever I've said before you proceed)

@Avadhoot Oh, you had already replied while I was still typing

In blogger, you can manually edit the url on editing the posts.

they'll do a inky pinky ponky 

Never underestimate judges.  Dude. 

May be they will call me for my help.... 

Yo dude,  

Multiple chances may increase your chance of winning. Sometimes judges choose creative entries as the winners. Sometimes, they choose those posts that praise the sponsor's product. Sometimes, they look for witty entries. Sometimes, they want something innovative. Sometimes, they choose a mix of the above posts.

So, multiple entries do no harm. They increase your chances of winning. 

multiple entries give u more combos

Well said Nandini. 

And who knows, they may give GV's instead of hampers just like the 'Love Marriage' contest. 

but it also reduces other's winning chances who post only one article per contest... I guess moderators don't read all posts and select winners using random or some other selection procedure... I have seen valuable and creative post from apollo contest but they hav'nt been awarded..... 

 .

Who said they don't read all the posts and choose the winners randomly? The Inky Ponky thing we were talking about was a joke. 

Coming to Apollo thing, what are the best posts is a personal opinion. May be the judges liked those winning posts more than those posts which appealed to you. 

i liked pony tailed girl's image

Congo's

They are searching their own posts dude

 .

No dude. That will be shameless self promotional activity and your post may be disqualified on that ground . So throw out any such idea

shameless self promotion is a menu under report tab.... so its a part of indiblogger

he meant this thread >> http://www.indiblogger.in/forum/topic.php?id=859

Yes, we need to stop using the word shameless. 

Using that word itself looks shameless. 

@R: or shameful ? 

Confused again... 

@ Ranjith - A shameless person does shameful acts without feeling any shame for the same. 

@TF How did I not read this reply of yours! 

By the way, your sentence isn't confusing.  It's as easy to understand as

Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. 

Yo dude, it is just a term name given, if that is not so, we would be seeing atleast 407 link posts by everyone here, then who will talk what. It will drown in links posted every minute.

Either you open a ticket here (IB) or simple close the ticket from your mind

Do not worry mamta, mistaken posts are allowed I think. Best wishes.

You can't. But always remember - whatever you do or don't do on this forum, chat room and anywhere else , big brother (in this case IndiPolice) is always watching.
