Badges: And Then There Were Three

By Seamus Condron

And then there were three...

Last week, we launched a contest to design our the official One Book, One Twitter crest. We got some truly creative and inspiring entries. They were so impressive, in fact, that Neil Gaiman himself  has decided to get in on the fun. Out of the nearly thirty badges that were submitted, he's picked his three favorites. We'll have one final period of voting that will last for 48 hours. For this round of voting, we'll be using Reddit, the same tool that we used to choose American Gods as the first #1b1t selection. Go here, at Wired.com to vote.

As we mentioned before, the winning badge will become the official "badge" for One Book, One Twitter. It will appear on our Twitter and Facebook pages. But the fun doesn't stop there: we're working with Mr. Gaiman and Harper Collins to have 1b1t imagery appear in bookstores as well! We'll have more details on that as we hash things out.

Lastly, despite the fact there can only be one ultimate winner, we're so impressed with the effort put forth by the community, we want to get some ideas from everyone for things we could possibly do with the other images. One idea the board came up with was to try and partner with an online retailer such as Zazzle  or Cafe Press, to make the 1b1t badges available as t-shirts, with proceeds from sales going to a literacy-related charity yet to be determined. This may take some logistical effort than we realize right now, but it's just one idea. If you have others, we'd love to hear them in the comments.

Now back to the matter of choosing a badge. Below, you'll see each of the three badge finalists, but remember to go here to vote. Happy voting!

Here's the first one:

 

And the next ...

At the initial stage of the event, Nintendo put a lot of advertisements with considerable impact, embedding the game characters into the well-known photographs and images. Come to Buy Must-Have Pearl Pendant supplier! They Are Now at the Most Competitive Price! For example, Nintendo puts its most famous game character "Mario" on the Berlin wall; puts Yoshi's face on the Gene.Simmons's face, the lead singer and bassist of the "Kiss" rock. At present, the advertising campaign has entered the second phase. The new game products are launched with the same theme and form. And they once again strengthened the Nintendo brand positioning "to create the innovators of the popular culture".

I'm not sure we do want to go EPIC, as it's known on Twitter. If we get on trending topic leaderboards, we'll become a spam magnet.

Am I right about all this? Dunno. One thing I'm concerned about is going back at this point. To try to impose a new system on everyone when there's already been a day of uncertainty might kill the project altogether. That said, if it's evident that the current system isn't working, we'll start a new one. Or everyone will do it with or without me because, as I've noted a zillion times, the coolest thing about this is that no one is running the show. Rather, everyone is. Awesome.

I guess that to get the credit loans from banks you ought to have a great reason. Nevertheless, one time I've received a bank loan, just because I wanted to buy a building.

There are many people who desire to participate in online surveys.

But many lose interest early in their progression.

The key to making a lucrative income is to persevere through the first 3-6 months of completing any survey that one would qualify for…regardless of it payout even if it is just a small payout like .25 cents. This will only be in the beginning.

As time goes by many of the survey companies will see the interest in a long term commitment and start to send very high paying surveys ..sometimes up to $50/survey.

This also will increase in frequency as continued involvement progresses.
