Social Media Ninjas – Unite!

Social Media Ninja

Wow, everyone! Thanks so much for your great entries to the Social Media Ninja Contest!

Although we said last time that we would only be advancing the top 10 to the next round, we felt that all 13 that participated should move on.

Edit:  Here are the contest rules:

1 – Please only vote for one candidate.
2 – Votes must be received by Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 at midnight GMT.
3 – Candidates cannot vote for themselves.
4 – The decision of the Collective Thoughts team is final.

  2. Well, i think it’s pretty obvious that some of the biggest volunteers have been left off this list. I guess that’s always the case or maybe because some are ‘affiliated authors’. So, unofficial, unsolicited votes to Tamar Weinberg and Shana Albert, and yes, Mark Laymon.

  3. Great voting so far everyone! We really appreciate everyone’s thoughts and great interest!

    @Charlie Anzman: yes, Shana and Mark are part of the Collective Thoughts team, so I guess you could say that they are already ninjas 🙂

    As for Tamar, she didn’t apply in the original contest post.

  4. Ha, I forgot I entered this contest! Some ninja…

    Ann, thanks for the vote – though it looks like you’ve got a much bigger circle of friends than I do, hehe! You’re certainly building our friendship with a vote like that, :D. BTW, I have to admit that I stole the tactic from a UK friend on a hiphop forum board who encouraged me to keep writing even when my stuff was just OK (not implying that yours or other’s has been just decent, but just pointing out that a compliment and encouragement go a long way). And in the end, I ended up writing some decent pieces, including one that got published in my college’s creative arts/poetry compilation mag.

    I’m going to vote for Dave and Kristen. Dave cuz he gets the attention that counts from the leaders in internet marketing with his Sphinning, and Kristen for getting me to her SU profile and having me convert on her site (commented). If I have to choose, I’d give it to Dave.

    My problem is that my Sphinn submissions don’t go hot often enough, and I can’t figure out why. And when I do write something decent, Maki (that ruddy blighter! lol) gets the credit for sphinning it! (Paradoxically, it would likely go nowhere if I sphunn it…)

  5. Hmm…only one vote! This is unfair…ahem!!

    There are so many good people on that list, for whom I would like to vote…Dave, Gab, Ann, Kirsten, Kimberly..and of course Zaibatsu!

    Never mind, voting for my new friend…Kimberly! Way to go gal…:)

  7. Working is indeed a bitch – I just saw this for the first time today. If only I could figure out some way to travel back in time so i could spam…I mean get my…I mean my parents’ vote in.

    Congrats to Bart & SEOSmarty:)
