So they're winning even if you do just pull up Wikipedia. In terms of what you put in your entry though, it's always good to have something unique, perhaps something that other people haven't found - which is where just using Wikipedia isn't going to work.

Anny's application remind me of one thing the "wacky waiving inflatable arm flailing tube man" that family guy did a couple years back... hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onZHpGYFPls I love it so much, can play it over and over and it always puts a smile on my face. haha… Anny’s application remind me of one thing the “wacky waiving inflatable arm flailing tube man” that family guy did a couple years back… hilarious.

I think it's the biggest post-production job we've ever had with half a dozen interviews to clean up, storyboard and level. It's a great opportunity though and we're glad to help out a little. Sorry Chris! We put up with the UK "summer" in Hastings and were rained out of summer in the Baltics the year before. It's just so nice to actually have real temperatures. Anything with minus signs or single digits are not real temperatures. Zellie, you’re welcome.

Anny's application does stand out. P.s. stop going on about the weather - I'm in the UK and it's freezing ;) Interesting to see and hear peoples strategies! Anny’s application does stand out.

I think Guy Kawasaki said (in relation to startups) that if you've got a great idea, ten other people have it as well and being stealth isn't going to help you.

Craig did "talk" with her via email, but failed to connect for an audio interview on Skype. Thanks for the heads up on the Ning group. We didn't know about that...off to investigate now.

We couldn't make a decision, so we'd love to know what people think. We’ve been wondering if it would be better to apply early or leave it to the last few days.
