Next Big Thing Finals - iPad 2 Winner


Remember our Next Big Thing Contest, where you guys could submit your creative ideas to make YouNow even MORE awesome for a chance to win prizes?  And remember how there were so many awesome ideas that we had to choose finalists? I bet you’re wondering who won that coveted iPad 2, huh?
 

The YouNow community submitted over 200 entries, all with amazing and radical ideas for how to change YouNow for the better.

The most popular ideas were:
- a gaming channel
- 1 vote per minute
- multi-user broadcasting
- a How to / Tutorial Channel 

Our CEO, Adi Sideman, YouNow chose “the ability for multiple users to broadcast together” as the top idea. The following contestants, all whose ideas related to multi-user broadcasting, went head-to-head, explaining their ideas to Adi in 3 minute presentations:

Slater The Alien
Connor Halsey
Kirsty Driver
Hannah Johnson
Inja Wollatz 

Each contestant did a great job, however the award for best presentation (along with an iPad 2) went to Kirsty Driver! Her polished and thoughtful presentation was well laid out and imaginative. Check it out below:

Hannah Johnson, who gave an equally impressive presentation complete with a hand-made mockup drawing of her design, was a runner up and won a $100 Apple gift card.

The other contestants won hoodies for their excellent efforts!

Stay tuned for more from YouNow.com!

    Just boB Gets Smezy for YouNow

    Hey all… Just boB here! Some may know me, some won’t and some don’t know what smezy looks like ’til they see me!

    I discovered YouNow.com from a pirate in a dark alley…alright…it was an alien, no really, Slater the Alien.  From the first time I went on the site till now, I have been addicted, like I’m addicted to oxygen.  I am a lizard and love doing live shows on the up and coming YouNow site.  I am enjoying getting to know many people, talking with them and enjoying spending some of my day with them.  I remember the first time I heard the count-down beeps…my heart was keeping the same rhythm, then the lights go up and there you are… naked (well not in the bad way or you will be removed) and vulnerable… but then the people start talking and getting to know you.  I was greatly received!!

    I love going on randomly having fun with prank calls, segments, as well as chatting it up!!  There are many things that make YouNow unique, such as the opportunity to prove yourself and win over the haters, well… most of them!  So I encourage many of you (if u have not already tried) to not only watch, but to go on live and have some fun…I have seen everything from challenges to people talking with their finger in their nose (don’t ask)… it is all in good fun and entertainment and once you win your first prize, you will be hooked. Thanks YouNow staff for all the efforts at encouraging noobies to be broadcasters. Don’t be shy, say hi the next time you see me in one of the rooms at YouNow!

    <3 Just boB
