Second Thoughts

Now that the release of Beta 2.0 is out, the contest for all those great prizes is winding to a close too. So many users have added so much great content and we are so proud to be able to reward some of you with these tokens of our appreciation. The Macbook Air is of course the most sought after prize and we thought we would give everyone an update on who is ahead for the big win.

In other news, you guys might notice that the voting aspect of the contest is powered by the score widget from JS-Kit. Secondbrain has been exploring collaborations like this with friends internationally in order to provide the very best tools and services available for our users. Whether we build our own tools or integrate the best examples from elsewhere, the goal is the same - provide the best for our Brainiacs, period.

We are exploring a wide range of tools that will allow our users unparalleled utility in sharing, broadcasting, manipulating, searching and essentially manipulating their content on Secondbrain. Stay tuned for further developments, but for now check out the current top leaders below in the race to the finish to win these fantastic prizes.

The Dude Dean (aka. The Greatest Living American Dude as he describes himself) continues to lead - can he hold on until the finish line? If he does, not only will he be the self proclaimed “Greatest American Dude”, he may well become the greatest living Brainiac too.

Compwoman is on a rampage coming from behind into 2nd place and going strong to the finish. Compwoman will be living proof that there is a lot more to a name than we think if she wins the MacBook. What better fitting contestant and prize could there be?

Katti, one of the early favorites has slipped a bit in these later stages but don’t count her out yet! Katti does not really have a mustache as her avatar suggests, but with a few more of your votes she could be smiling rather than sticking her tongue out at us.

Bs is currently in 4th and making headway, but the hill is a steep one. 80 or so votes does not seem like a lot to garner given this is the Internet. It seems like that if a goofy video on Digg could get 1000 votes, then Bs should be able to be vaulted into the lead easily, huh?

There are two users tied for 5th place currently, Diptychal and Cpeckens with 20 votes each. The contest ends on Thursday, so everything is still up for grabs. So, vote for your favorites and grab some of their great content while you are at it. As always, let us know if you have ideas or feedback that can help make Secondbrain the “end all” development you dream of. Someone’s dream laptop is about to become a reality because of you.
