So, now that the contest is over, it’s interesting to see the viral map of all the activity.

Lots of new sites explored!

I thought I’d type up the list here of sites we posted to, activity per site, and so on.

Most of this list is pretty clear, it will say BF (meaning Brickfish) and then a small number (1-3 usually), that’s the number of times the link was posted from Brickfish to that site or platform. Then a larger number, and that larger number is somewhat mysterious. It has to do with activity levels from that site – could be views as well as votes. Because I believe that if I add up all those larger numbers, it doesn’t equal views exactly, or votes, or the sum of the two. I believe it’s a proportional indication of both view and votes, from that site vs. the total activity.

The complicated part is when the contest was posted to a site, then posted from there to another site. If you look at the map itself you’ll see what I mean.

So, may add/clarify this more as time allows, but wanted to share this in case of interest.

If you want to see the other, more viral sites, you can go to the right side bar that says ‘Other Entries’ than below those 4 pics or so, there is a link that says ‘see more.’ That brings you to the whole list. At the very top of that front page of the whole list, there are headers that you can sort by. One of them is ‘Most Viral’. This entry of ours is #21 I believe!

For history on what this was all about, please see the posts tagged as Brickfish. Long story short, my daughter entered in to this contest, and asked for my help. I decided to use the contest as a springboard to implementing more social media for my company, and an impetus to learn more about the functions I had been using. Clarity Solutions did not establish a presence on all these – not MySpace of course. And some of these I didn’t have anything to do with. But the involvement I did have completely met my goals for it!

PS The ‘winners’ haven’t been announced yet. The prizes aren’t that substantial anyway, I was really just interested to see what actions would yield what results, how our efforts compared to others, etc.. And I really appreciate all those of you who helped!!
