Announcing the Winner of Oracle of Omaha IdeaWarz Tournament!
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007Congratulations to TechGuy, who’s Marketing Mob idea bounced Web Apprenticeships off the ropes before delivering a mighty body slam!
The Idea: Marketing Mob
Marketing Mob is a group marketing their skills and assets. Businesses contact this group with press releases or exciting news. The message would then be promoted by the marketing “mob” in return for Royalty Points, Cambros or cash. Marketing Mob members are expected to fully disclose that payments are being made, and will have discretion to write whatever they want to promote or review a business, including constructive criticism.
Mediums this mob can use are:
Blogs, Podcasts, Videos, Forums, Email Lists, Other webpage advertising, YouTube Views, Craigs List, Facebook, etc.
What kind of a man would come up with such an idea? Who is this mysterious “TechGuy“?
No one really knows, but we hear rumors that he lives in Vegas, yet speaks Italian. Word on the street is that his favorite super power is the ability to fly. And by water-boarding random citizens, we now know that TechGuy’s 3 favorite things are: his wife, ultimate frisbee and technology.
For winning the Oracle of Omaha IdeaWarz Tournament, TechGuy receives $1000 in prize money, and an authentic Jessye Cook designed t-shirt. Remember stories about kids getting mugged for their Air Jordan shoes? Well this shirt is one-of-a-kind. TechGuy, watch your back!
We’d also like to congratulate PsychSplash for putting up a good fight. His idea Web Apprenticeships received a lot of support from the community, and definitely has legs.
While the competition was fierce, there is no love lost between the contestants… having already sparred in the Golden Axe Tournament. In fact, PsychSplash is a member of the Marketing Mob team!
Whether you’re a possible contender for a future tournament, or just an avid IdeaWarz fan, you may be distraught to see that we’re not yet announcing the next tournament. Don’t panic! We’re only hitting the pause button momentarily as we address:
- JR getting me (Gord) up to speed on IdeaWarz administration (as he’s now got a new daughter to take care of!), and passing on the ancient traditions of IdeaWarz hosting as he grabs the reigns of Team GWABS!
- Updating the IdeaWarz code base, so that we can easily roll out exciting new features!
Until next time… May the best idea win!
