Marissa Miller Harley Davidson Widget previews WDM Round 2
by chris on Dec.12, 2008, under Deathmatches
Widget Death Match Round 2 is scheduled for Tuesday, 12/16, and people are getting nervous. Just a quick reminder of how Mike won round 1: through the semi-legitimate practice of spamming the judges with multiple widget entries. As Mike said:
Will this one win? No? How about this one? Or this one?
Ethics aside, the Mike’s tactic makes sense. The KickApps Widget Studio allows Mike to crank out eye-popping Widgets in a few minutes, and he tipped the vote with this (eye-popping) Marissa Miller Harley Davidson Widget:
The clincher was his page that allows you to add any YouTube video to this widget, a great demonstration of widgets’ flexibility and opportunities for personalization.
Mike will be back for WDM Round 2, so stay posted for more Widget Death Grips!
Widget Death Match Round 1 ends. Round 2 begins!

Round 1 came to an early conclusion as Simon conceded victory to Mike! In Simon’s own words:
Dear Widget Sensei,
Yup, you’re the master, I’m hanging up my mouse in the face of such stiff competition ……
Yours sincerely “grasshopper”.
What led to this strange reversal of fortune? At the time of this writing (Thursday, November 20th), Simon’s Star Trek widget leads the race with a 5-star rating and 22 votes, while Mike’s Rasta Widget has only 4 stars and 20 votes (surprising, because it draws content from the incredible Dub and Reggae social network.
The answer may lie in Mike’s late second entry, a Marissa Miller Harley Davidson motorcycle widget that may not look like much but allows users to embed their own YouTube video before adding the customized widget to their Myspace profile. Cheating cheater or Sun Tzu strategist? We don’t know! Widget Death Match is a no-holds-barred widget battle to the death, and in this round Mike has miraculously come out ahead. Condolences to Simon for the loss of his paradigm-shifting masterpiece widget.
Next Thursday is WDM Round 2: “Tricksy” Mike gets back in the ring with “Thirsty” John G, who will answer the question “is good hair enough?” Beer may make an appearance in one or more widgets, so bring your stein and a taste for blood!
