Shoeperstar Winner - A blog contest about… blogging

While this is a little off from my usual topic of Software Reliability and Maintainability, it was still too interesting not to blog about.  Big name internet marketers Ted Murphy of Izea and Jeremy Schoemaker of ShoeMoney are putting on a contest to determine the next Shoeperstar Winner.  To win, bloggers have to, well, blog about why they think they should be the Shoeperstar.  It presents a very interesting example of the power of viral marketing and SEO.  All of the blog entries will undoubtedly link back to both Izea and ShoeMoney, further bolstering there already impressive SEO rankings.

Former Sundogger and rising blogosphere star Max Pool of Code Squeeze has thrown his name into the ring with his entry, 10 Reasons Why I Am A Shoeperstar Contest Winner.  The winner will get an all expense paid trip to the SXSW Music and Film Festival to meet and talk with Ted Murphy and Jeremy Schoemaker, as well as appear on camera for a special episode of RockStartup.

Good luck Max, but uh - the haircut is not a good look for you.

(Note, the “site” Max refers to in his video is his 10 Reasons Why I Am A Shoeperstar Contest Winner site. )
