Gone Surfin’

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Hiya all,

Just a heads up. We won’t be announcing the winner of the Broken Heart Tournament, or kicking off the next tournament this Wednesday. Why?

Well, first I will give you the practical reasons:

  • We have been swamped preparing the next release of ch.com (which will allow you to create projects based on your ideas),
  • Don Tapscott the author of Wikinomics is in town, and we have a major event with him (sign-up now)
  • Delaying a week lines up nicely with re-syncing with the calendar so tournaments fall within the first week of each month

And now the selfish reason: I need a vacation and don’t want to kick a new tourney off while out of town (else I would stop being on vacation and start working).

My better half and I are heading down to San Diego for a week of some sun, surf and battery re-charging.

Apologies for any inconvenience this causes our finalists childoftv and PsychSplash. I know how exciting this must be!

Voting will still end Wednesday at noon so if you haven’t voted yet there is still time.

Thank you for understanding.

We will announce the winners of the broken heart next Friday (just in time for the weekend) and kick off the next tournament the same day.

May the best idea win!

Only one heart left to break

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

That’s right, we’re down to our final two ideas. One will be the last idea to check into the Heartbreak Hotel, and the other will walk away with $10,000 to realize their dream.

The finalist are:

PsychSplash
 vs.  The moment you were born…

Honorable mention go out to Jdog (vector source) and Nubes (Where in the WWW is Waldo?), who fought gallantly but fell in battle at the end.

Vote now and decide which idea will get a dose of love potion #9.
