Snap’s “The Other Way to Launch” Contest
The contest works like this: starting May 15, 2006, and going until June 9, 2006, people will be able to post marketing/advertising ideas to the Snap blog. Those ideas will appear as posts on the Snap blog, along with a voting mechanism. All you have to do is a simple registration process (we won’t spam you nor rent or sell your name or email address) in order to submit an idea and/or vote. The higher number of votes an idea gets, the higher it gets in the launch plan. We’re going to create a marketing campaign using the best ideas.

As examples, some of the things we’re looking for, would include the reinforcement of “Why Snap is Better” differentiators, proper use of Snap logo, tagline, messaging, effective use of budget across a variety of media channels, guerilla tactics, viral marketing methods, etc.

The Reward
To make it more interesting, Snap is awarding $5,000 to the person(s) with the launch idea that gets the most votes from this community, AND $5,000 to the blog that is credited with referring the person with the winning idea. Please see contest rules on the Idea Submissions Page for more information.

An excerpt from Matt Cutts Blog:

Q: What’s new and different in Bigdaddy?
A: It has some new infrastructure, not just better algorithms or different data. Most of the changes are under the hood, enough so that an average user might not even notice any difference in this iteration.

Q: What else can you tell me about Bigdaddy?
A: In my opinion, this data center improves in several of the ways that you’d measure a search engine. But for now, the main feedback we’re looking for is just general quality and canonicalization.
