Rock the Task Bar - An idea contest

I've taken a step in a different direction recently. I decided to make one of my latest ideas into a contest, and even put up my own money. (I had to get Claire's approval of course). As the contest goes on, I'll be bringing on some private sponsors, as well as some other more public corporate sponsors, so the money isn't a big deal, but it was necessary to get the ball rolling. So what's this all about? It's a contest, but with a twist. Users can submit a business idea, giving information such as market, profitability, timing, as well as an abstract, and submit for judging. The abstracts (the 30 second elevator pitches) are put on a 'top rocks' picks page, where readers can get the idea, share with friends, make comments, and leave feedback. I also compiled some of my favourite resources for entrepreneurs and startups, though the contest is for everyone. Did you ever meet someone who just seemed to breathe and eat new ideas? They may not be CEO material, but they're thinkers. This is for those kinds of people. So what kind of marketing am I doing? As you could guess-- it's all online. Viral, social and SEO. Check it out, and let me know what you think? Rockthetaskbar.com
