The future of shopping from eBay India! (IndiContest)

The submissions are wide-open still by the way....good bit of leverage by the indi team.

Truly Sammya! Link is open though none of us demanded for an extension!

Proves that Indi Team wants us to submit our entries!

174 entries! 

I thought that there will be no more than 100 entries! 

Am I the only one who wrote the article as an answer to a question in the exam with side headings? 

they asked abt future..i wrote about past

No prize for you! 

I started from the past, came to the present and went to the future! 

Both our entries look similar!  This is what happens when people write about the past. 

i also did three..but more abt past my post is unque..

Mine is also unique because no one used side headings like me. 

i used in my last section

I love reading the discussion boards.. it is so much fun.. :)

Looking forward to see some people come here and say that THEIR IDEAS HAVE BEEN COPIED! 

But why you are appying for the anticipatory bail ?? 

Why don't you kick start the "campaign" Ranjith ? 

3 months Nandini ??? ah ok.....This was one of the most interesting contests and I hope that Indiblogger will have more of such interesting contests....

She was kidding. No one knows the exact time required for the results to be declared. Some are declared in less than a month. Some take even 3-4 months. 

Desperately needed a break from contests and this has served as a good one

All the best everybody... May the deserving win! 

You didn't participate? 

I too took a break in the Yatra contest. 

i took BREAK in Idea contest...

No, i didn't participate. After the 'smelly to smiley' contest my head went blank! 

Anyhow....I seriously needed this break!

Everyone cries after taking a break. ND cried for the Idea Pen Drive. I cried for the Yatra vouchers and now, you too are crying. 

Missed participating in this contest :( 

Just 174 entries ~ I don't think any contest has had just few entries! Maybe the prizes were not attractive enough? Maybe the requirement to use some of your own money to use the shopping voucher was off-putting?  Something worth investigating and avoiding such prizes in future contests if this was the case.

for a contest that was open for only 10 days...i think it was okay turnout...

I agree, Nandini. 

The Yatra Contest was open for much longer, yet it has 194- just 20 entries more than this Ebay one!

I love the topic & the prizes, especially the 1st prize!

People got excited about the 10 day deadline and participated! 

May be next time, it can be a five day contest! 

5 day?

1 day 

1 second

Contest gets over before we are even aware that it has begun!!!

How will IndiBlogger judge who has won?!!!

I will be the winner. 

I'll be winner before ranjith wins

I will be the winner before the contest gets annouced. 

Ranjith & ND, Please give everyone a fair chance too!

Would love to submit my Post if & when the 'time' is 'right'!

I will be the winner before the contest gets annouced.

 

 

still I'll be winner before ranjith wins

@ Anita 

Yes, Yes. ND will win a single dosa and I win a year supply of dosas 

Ranjith, A Year's Supply of Dosas sounds yummy!

Who's the sponsor? Imagining Dosa prizes for us!

A Dosa a Day...what else can I say?!!!

u get only 1 year supply?..i get life time supply of masala dosa...and after my death all my next generations get lifetime dosas too

ND, Which Contest is giving such unlimited lifetimes Dosa prize? Great to try for the chance!

Anita ND will be sponsoring the dosa contest. 

eBay must be happy that we are not making demands for-

Lifetime-Dosas-Supply-for-unlimited-Generations as prize!

@ eBay We want lifetime dosa supply. 

eBay We want lifetime dosa supply.

Dosa ? Mrs. sharma has  ordered hot and sizzling caribbean food -right from the Dominican Republic- in a food plane with the oven facility.

It was an order not a prize though.

ye sharma kaun hai?  Another character in your blog?

Umm....well, HOW about a rapid fire blogging contest open for 1 hour? :P

why not 1 minute blogging contest?

ND that's "Blogging in 3015" :P

I take one hour just to type the post written in a  paper! 

I like this idea..cool one..we will see how creative we can be...it will be test for ourselves only

Haha seeing all your comments I can just hope that Indiblogger will also soon have the contest having topic Blogging in 2030 or 2050......

Am sure the Topic- 'Blogging 2050' will be a SuperHit unlike the Hindi-Movie 'Love Story 2050'!

Totally loved writing for 'The Future of Shopping'. Looking forward for more Science Fiction!

Won't blogs get replaced with something else in 2030? 

Yes, like Super-Blogs!!!

Hey, did anyone else notice this?

There's this new badge which shows up with the current top trending posts:

Congrats Bushra. You are the first one to observe it! 

Ya, I noticed it too! Love the Badge!

i noticed it this morning

@R 

It's cool! 

Another small question to Renie...the twitter contest has also been closed with the blogging one. Correct?

If yes, is the winner announcement due? :)

Yes

Yes

May be they are thinking how many vouchers they should give for my tweets. 

Dreaming is a good enough option Ranjith! :P Kidding.

Loved the contest... Fortunately I checked it on 13th Sept. Btw when will the results be announced ?

No one knows. It will take anything between one and 3-4 months. ( Mostly, one month ) 

Ranjith between 3-4 months and mostly in one month. Really no one knows it and I bet no one can predict the result announcement date.

eBay should also be asked to declare the winners in 10 days. 

yea ~

I will tell them 

So true ...testing my patience :(

get some good score for that test 

Go and tell Razi 

I am on the way..

Fast Fast 

Maybe ebay is waiting until 2030 to announce the results so that they can see which entry was the most accurate

I'll become old by then. 

Why has Ranjith submitted an entry? I thought that this contest is closed to employees of IndiBlogger and I thought that he IS Indiblogger!

Micky  I am a member just like you 

What?  Want results? 

Not that I wrote well..but curious @Ranjith 

I was asking why you were sad! 

She was not written well thats why.. !

How do you know Razi? 

Not that I wrote well..but curious @Ranjith 

 

I read this..!!

@Ranjith Sad cause I want results ...waiting too long...

ok...

BOOM! I guess eBay's busy implementing our ideas...so much of R&D we have instigated :D

@Renie: Twitter contest winners for this one? 8 winners I guess! 

Waiting for the Twitter Contest winners.

Will all the winners be declared together or will it be like the #Yatra #HappyTravellers contest (where 2 Twitter winners have been declared while there still are 3 more to go) ?

@Anita: This is the eBay thread not the Yatra one :-P

Who is confused SB or Anita ? 

SB, Am aware that this IS the EBay thread!

As both are IndiBlogger Contests, I just mentioned the Yatra one as an example to enquire about the eBay one! (Have already enquired about Yatra in its own thread!)

Ranjith, What do you think, Mr.Referee?!

SB was confused and thought that Anita is confused. 

Ranjith always has the answers!

@Anita: Bingo try karo :-P

As per @Ranjith (Mr.Referee), @SB deserves it more!

Masala Dosa ( and not Bingo ) is the official food of IB. 

Wud love to win Masala Dosas as Prize in IB Contests!

Before 2030, should be able to order Dosas from eBay!

10 Results found - 3 New - 7 Used 

No takers for 'Used' Dosas!

Only Brand-New Freshly-made will do!

Twitter winners declared!

Congrats: @positive_failur @TheWittyKid @cyberdyne_101 & @parthasa

Good that you clarified! IB's tweet was mis-leading, it appeared as if those were contest winners

These were winners of tweeting force...
