MixedInk was recently selected as a finalist for the We Media “pitch it” competition.  We’ve got a shot at the $25,000 award!

It’s a huge honor to be selected as a finalist from among over 400 entries.  But win or lose, the We Media conference will be a fantastic opportunity to meet and pitch MixedInk the entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs who are shaping the media of tomorrow.

You can vote for our contest entry here: http://www.changemakers.net/en-us/node/16890

The judges will be taking the community’s votes into account when they make their verdict, so your votes will make a big difference.

I’ll be representing MixedInk at the conference in Miami.  If you’ll be at the conference and would be interested in meeting up, drop me an email (david-at-thisdomain) or just stop by our booth in the gallery.  Hope to see you there!

Belated update: MixedInk finished in second place (the judges said it was tantalizingly close) behind SeeClickFix.  They’ve created an online platform that lets citizens point out non-emergency issues, like potholes, and enables public officials to manage the complaints and respond in transparent fashion.  They were a worthy competitor, and a fun bunch of guys to boot.  Check out their site at www.seeclickfix.com.

It was great hanging out with all the contest finalists in Miami, as well as leaders and innovators from across the social media spectrum – we heard about some very cool projects in the works.  Hope to see everybody back at We Media again next year!
