TWiki, YouTube and $2,000

TWiki is one of the most powerful application wikis around and, with over 2 million users, it is also one of the most widely used. The trouble is, the mainstream media haven't picked this up yet and so TWiki remains one of the internet's best kept secrets.

YouTube, on the other hand, is in a completely different place. It is the number 2 site on the internet and over 100 million videos get watched every day. Many companies use its high profile to promote their own products and services.

We could do this too. All we need are some TWiki videos for YouTube.

This is where you come in. The fact that you are reading this means that you have an interest in TWiki and, if you do, you have probably got a TWiki video inside you just waiting to get out. All you need is a video camera and a small incentive...

TWIKI.NET is providing that incentive. There are over $3,000 dollars in prizes and, just to introduce a sense of fun, they are giving away a free t-shirt for every valid entry.

We can't tell you what sort of video to make but for instructions on how to enter, how the voting will take place and see what color the t-shirts are go along to http://www.snipurl.com/twikicontest.

But hurry. The contest timer is ticking.

Manual trackback: Der TWiki-YouTube-Contest: TWiki lobt Preise für Demo-Videos aus TWiki ist dank seiner Ausgereiftheit und seiner Systemorientierung hervorragend als Unternehmens-Wiki im Intranet geeignet. Doch trotz hoher Qualität und weiter Verbreitung findet die Applikation in größeren Medien kaum Beachtung. Das soll sich durch YouTube-Promo-Videos ändern. Für hochwertige Clips von Usern hat TWIKI.NET Preise ausgelobt. http://blog.seibert-media.net/2008/03/online-marketing/der-twiki-youtube-contest-twiki-lobt-preise-fuer-demo-videos-aus/
