Network2's Video Contest Gets New Media Wrong

Here's the entry by Buns and Chou Chou, my favorite bunnies, in Network2's "How Do You Watch Internet TV?" contest. Sadly, although Network2 is a social media platform, viewers will have no say in who wins the contest. Instead, staff of Network2 will pick the winners.

Uh, Mr Pulver, either you want user participation or you don't. You can't really have it both ways.

Network2 is Vonage co-founder Jeff Pulver's interactive guide to original online video shows that are episodic. Users can read reviews, opinions, and ratings on the shows featured on the guide. You also can add your own comments, rate the shows, and add tags that help others find the content. But you can't vote for the winner of the contest.
