What a day!

October 8, 2008

Wow! What a day yesterday was! I spent the day at San Francisco State University meeting students from the Journalism department at a job and internship fair put together by the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism. I met many interesting students… More on that in a moment…

But first…

Incentive Program News!

While I was busy doing the meet and greet thing, two of our top site contributors were busy getting views!

MarcusCato and Roxanne Weber both went over the 100,000 views line in the last day! Roxanne Weber you already know from Meet the community: OnlineBusinessWomanMarcusCatoyou will be meeting in our next community bio coming in the next day or so. Both are great writers who put together pieces full of good information, pictures, cartoons, and conversation starters. If you aren’t following thier news on allvoices, you should be!

Check them out!

Flip News!

In addition to meeting students and having 2 people go over the 100,000 views mark, we also had another person earn a Flip for referals: paulvalach. Paul is from Avondale, AZ (that’s near Phoenix). He has a couple of good pieces out there – watch for more from him soon. We have a few more users very close to the 20 persons refered level – If you want a Flip from allvoices, you are going to need to get those referals going!

Back to yesterday…

While at the job/internship fair yesterday, I met many interesting students. Some are writers, some are photographers, some do both. Watch for thier news coming soon.

I put the names of the students who stopped to talk to me and registered for the site into a hat. The winner gets a Flip from allvoices so that they can report news on the site. And that winner is…. amanda_elliot

amanda_elliot look for a private message and an email from me soon. The rest of you… Join me in welcoming amanda_elliot to the community and encouraging her to write!

The rest of the world…

While I was heading home from San Francisco last night, this little event called the Presidental Debate happened here in the US. Since I was traveling, I couldn’t see the debate. I will watch it on YouTube, but until I get that chance, I have a challenge for all of you:
Post your take on the debate on the site. Get things going. Let the world know what you think. And if you do, let me know. Who knows, I might even mention your story in one of my blog posts!
