Have a competition Muti

I went to muti.co.za yesterday morning and again this morning and just realised, I’m going there right reason! I go there to see what is happening. What is news and news worthy. If you have a look at the stats pages, you will see that this week alone there was 109 submission (at least by the time I was looking) and most of the submissions was on things I like and find useful! I have most blogs feeded to my RSS reader. It is easy for me to stay on top of whats new(s) in the blogosphere. Trawling through the news sites is a little more work. I have them fed too, but they have a lot more to go through. Now, I rather go to Muti and see they’ve got a lot I’m passionate about covered! I’m really starting to see the value in it and starting to love it! (Well, I’ve always loved it, but you get the idea.)

What I’m finding interesting is the Stats page (on the main menu bar). It is interesting to see who is submitting what and earning how many kudus. Maybe it would really do Muti good if they got onto the competition bandwagon like Quirk did with their SA Blog Awards logo competition and get a company to sponsor some prizes for the top submitters and top kudu earners in a month. April will be a great month.

“Don’t be an April’s fool to miss this one…”

Oh, and note to Neville and Quirk and everyone else having communities voting for something, the muti platform could work great. Neville, how about you create subdomains for competitions, submit the nominees in there and let the voting public go like/dislike on it.

Let me explain:

• We have the SA Blog Awards happening.
  
• So you create a voting station for the competition at sablogawards.muti.co.za
• You submit all the nominees in there and tag them appropriately.
• We the public can vote our favs up or down as we like them or not.

Maybe it would not work EXACTLY with the same model muti is currently working on, but that can be tweaked! It will do wonders for Muti’s exposure…

Dave actually had a brave, wonderful idea with muti too…(Therefore this post. Credit goes to you, buddy!) Thanks Dave, you actually got me thinking about this. I will let you tell the folks the idea…

  Good idea Stii. Rob, if you want me to set up a poll for the logos, just shout! The polling engine will be opened up to anyone who wants to run a poll but thats not all quite ready yet, but I can easily set up one if you like.

  Regards

  Nice idea guys, although having 84 options is a bit excessive I think. Perhaps the judges should pick the top 10, then those logos are put on the poll?

  BTW, I like your choice in logos Stii

  Hehehe, Mark. I thought you might like it, eh?

  BTW, I agree with Mark. Pick the 10 or 20 best logo’s and vote for them.

  Hey guys, when will the voting begin and how does one vote?

  There were some really interesting designs. Great Idea mark. I just hope that my design makes it to the final selection. LOL
