Character Files from the ToiBox 40: Michael- Psych Test

This is not a real Rorschach test, but simply a fun little additive to the whole character profile motif.

Subject EC:B 5-Michael describe test image #1 as:

Something bad that he doesn’t want to talk about, “Just tell me what to say.”

Subject seems paranoid, as though he knows something is about the happen, but he doesn’t know when or where. He seems to have a genuine concern for others and want to do the right thing. His loyalty is strong, but he seems a bit weak. Threat level undetermined.

This is not a real Rorschach test, but simply a fun little additive to the whole character profile motif.

Subject EC:B 4-Lilly describe test image #1 as:

A very scary and very sad monster in search of something, “beware of those in search of something.”

This subject comes off as a sweet little old lady, and maybe she is, but she knows more than she lets on. She is considered harmless, but remains under observation.

Social Media Marketing- Rafflecopter part 2

Thank you all for stopping by to see what craziness I have to share today. This is part two of my Rafflecopter discussion, but unlike my last post which was nice and sweet, this one is stern. I’m going to rant a little.

Before I begin my rant, know this now, I use Rafflecopter and appreciate its great value and am glad that I don’t have to blog in a world without it.

So, here I go.

I can’t stand trying to participate in Rafflecopters that have so many entry options that I loose count after 20. I totally understand why these exist, but I still don’t like them. Collaborative efforts are what keep much of the blog world spinning and when awarding prizes, bloggers should have an opportunity to build their social reach in order to do so, but why does it have to be so extensive?

A blog hop featuring 20 bloggers offering a prize bundle made of donations of all those participating never seems to have less than 50 entries, and averages around 80 or more.  With 80 entries, each participant gets to include a link for their blog, twitter, facebook, and one other social media outlet. Again, I agree with the reasoning and understand the why, but it just feels like too much.

I have participated in these kinds of rafflecopters and probably will again, but I will give it a second and maybe even a third thought before agreeing to it. For non-regular blog readers, I feel that a Rafflecopter like that is a deterrent. This is one of those times when knowing your audience really helps. Sometimes it works out great to send someone to a contest or event like this and sometime is backfires.

Whenever I create my own Rafflecopters, I do make an effort to not have the entry process seem overwhelming…Then again, sometimes I think I’m over thinking things. We live in a competitive world. People love voting, and entering to win, and trying to beat out the next person. Maybe the average person doesn’t mind these long contests and it’s just me…

In any case, I’ll still make an effort to keep things as simple as possible; it’s just who I am.
