    Exabytes’ new website design buzz creation contest: winner takes all

    September 11th, 2008

    Exabytes, one of Malaysia’s most well-known web hosters (among bloggers and SMEs at least) is currently running a contest dubbed “I Want a MacBook Air.”

    In order to have a chance of winning the RM6,300 beauty, one’s supposed to write a review of Exabytes’ new website design, if one manages to be among the first 100 to sign up for the contest.

    Obviously, somehow or rather I managed to be in.

    But by then a small print caught my eye.

    It says “higher traffic website stands higher chance to win the contest.”

    That’s it. No chance lah.

    That means that one particular guy from Sarawak whose blog boasts 15,000 unique visitors a day could just do a quick entry, and the world’s thinnest notebook is his for the taking. Or that other guy from Penang who, at last count, gets more than double the traffic of the previous guy I mentioned.

    Having said that, since I’m in and being a somewhat satisfied customer of them for the last 3 years, I’d still give it ago.

    My short take would be this: a menu (of a restaurant or otherwise) that has too many items is a turn-off: the new design improves on this.
