Motorola is organizing a somewhat weird contest on Facebook for social mavens. The official pitch goes like this:
Have you turned 15 minutes of fame into 15,000 followers? Are your updates quoted and tweeted by the stars? Then you’re already trailblazing through social media! Tell us how you’ve reached social domination for a chance to be featured as a Social BLAZR and win $2,500, a DROID RAZR by Motorola and a wide selection of accessories!
See that – 15,000 followers. And the award is RAZR and $2,500? As far as I can tell, they want to get really cheap publicity while at the same time getting some social media consulting for next to nothing? Their PR/marketing agency seems really out of touch…
Anyway, you are free to submit your entry until 9 AM ET on October 31st. Then the public voting begins on November 4th. Users from the U.S., Canada, Singapore and Europe (UK, France and Germany) can participate. One lucky man and woman from each participating region will be named a social sucker “Social BLAZR”…
