Round 2 begins! http://www.widgetdeathmatch.com/2008/11/widget-death-match-round-1-ends-round-2-begins.html http://www.widgetdeathmatch.com/2008/11/widget-death-match-round-1-ends-round-2-begins.html#comments Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:59:41 +0000 chris http://www.widgetdeathmatch.com/?p=32 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!
