In a effort to build a large MyBlogLog community, Andy Beal, offered up a Microsoft Zune media player as a prize to random member of his community. Now I had joined my bloglog a while back and at the time of Andys announcement of this contest we were at about the same number of members right around 100 each. I thought I would challenge Andy testing a different route. Instead I would use a avatar of Nicole as my community screenshot (I emailed mybloglog people to make sure this was ok). And so it begins…

As of today MarketingPilgrilm has 143 Members and ShoeMoney has 233 Members. Go Nicole!
P.S. I challenged Andy Beal at this it was not like it was a agreed upon contest. He might not even know about it lol.

the power of a pretty lady lol
Zune the iPod Killer?

Screw the Zune. Where’s the link to Nicole’s page?
And a wallpaper gallery please.

My guess is that she wasn’t actually “hired,” but she was asked if her pic could be used on the site. You can see her Hooters uniform under the Shoe t-shirt in the pic. I don’t think struggling internet marketers work at Hooters to make ends meet.

It’s a tough choice. Can I just have both?
January 9, 2007 at 7:03 am
There’s some hypnotization gig going on with the Shoemoney logo or the fact that Nicole’s wearing it, or both.
Every time I get into MBL, I kinda lost track of time and the next thing I know I’ve ‘lost time’. I might be part of the new 4400 (or the 4401)…
January 9, 2007 at 7:01 am
Like Neil says. Looking at a Zune doesn’t stop my breathing…
January 8, 2007 at 6:48 pm
I guess I would take the girl
January 8, 2007 at 5:05 pm
This is hilarious… Go Nicole! If it were a 42 inch plasma tv I would jump at the chance… personally, I only have around 10 members at mybloglog commmunity.. I’ll be thinking up ways of doing this…
I have months and months of FORTUNE magazine subscriptions, maybe I could use those as a nice incentive…
January 8, 2007 at 1:36 pm
Any contest where I win a Zune will beat out chicks hands down for me anyway…. Well considering I’m married and I like have no game.
January 8, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Hi Nicole…oh yeah hi shoe
January 8, 2007 at 9:00 am
Sorry Shoe, but I think this may be an unfair competition, proving nothing at all.
I think this more reflects the relative size of the readerships for your blogs rather than community preference
January 8, 2007 at 5:26 am
Hot Avatars win. Yup. I am a community member of both blogs and I actually read them – not just look at the pictures. I think bloglog rocks as well.

ya i think i linked to the wrong post lol…
January 7, 2007 at 11:30 pm
Actually she just got hired 4 days ago. The first week is initiation
January 7, 2007 at 11:19 pm
Is Shoe’s new employee just a walking sexual harassment case waiting to happen. She got hired a week ago and she is already being pimped out.
I sure hope she got hired for her programming or SEM knowledge or something other than that she looks good in a ShoeMoney shirt.

Mybloglog (yes I’m a member) seems a bit pointless to me. Wasn’t the contest originally for RSS subscribers?
January 7, 2007 at 8:26 pm
No, Andy. The one who spends the least amount of effort (like Shoe) to get an equal amount of members, wins
Why would anyone wasting tons of time and such, anyway.
January 7, 2007 at 8:04 pm
As far as I’m concerned, you both will win by turning people onto the mybloglog community; bookmark both of these sites people.
January 7, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Girls always win. It’s in the rules. Jeremy is just smart enough to run with it.
Girls FTW!

mebe unfortunately I have zero time for something like this =( Mostly fire and forget. Let me know who wins!
January 7, 2007 at 6:40 pm
It will be fun to see. I think the winner would be the one who spends the most energy trying to attract members. Unfortunately for me, I spend too much of my time in the “white” area, while you know a lot of the “gray” hangouts.
January 7, 2007 at 6:16 pm
I think readers want to get their hands on Nicole
.
January 7, 2007 at 6:15 pm
Nicole is eyecandy…lets face it, sex sells.
January 7, 2007 at 6:13 pm
its linked now… so you accept my challenge!
January 7, 2007 at 6:12 pm
BTW – I noticed you weren’t confident enough to actually link back to the contest page.
January 7, 2007 at 5:47 pm
I have one advantage – readers can actually get there hands on a Zune!
January 7, 2007 at 4:29 pm
That is amazing considering you do not get nearly the traffic that Andy gets on his blog that has been around forever.
