Social mastermind

Social media and the methods of information dissemination have grown tremendously over the past decade. With the growing importance of social media and the world quickly becoming application hungry, JellyBarn has decided to kick off a $100,000 contest calling for innovative ideas at social media related applications. JellyBarn is a leading provider of applications, widgets, and games. The contest calls for contestants to submit their ideas at http://www.jellybarn.com/mastermind/ for the chance to have their application idea implemented. The contest is judged by Google, Yahoo!, and Razorfish, among others. The contest is meant to drive social media and show its importance. The social applications hold tremendous potential for marketers. I think the contest is a very clever and practical way at providing everyday people the ability to help shape the methods of social media that will only continue to be an important facet of our culture.
