colnect.com is participating in a competition called “startup 2.0“.
The reason to go on this competition is to get some exposure but I’m wondering how votes would actually be cast when 141 companies (as of now) participate. Will any person actually review ALL THESE COMPANIES? I doubt it. My assumption is that lobbying is the name of the game and perhaps social networking would provide a useful tool. “Come along and vote for me” campaigns or “get me some 10,000 people from a third world country to vote for me” are most likely to get the companies to the final stage where the judges will have their say.
So, since my limited budget cannot afford 10,000 third-world country votes, I pledge thee “come along and vote for me” :)
Looking more in depth, voting could have promoted a startup in this competition but the much more important were judges decision so it's always better to have friends at important place.
