The final day of the Reviews and Predictions Group Writing Project has arrived and as with each of the previous times we’ve done it I find myself with a mixture of feelings including being over stimulated (when you read 292 blog posts on such a wide array of topics it tends to leave you slightly numb), excited (I’ve discovered some great new bloggers) and slightly exhausted (I really need to find a way to automate the process of uploading all the submissions).
Once again – a big thank you to our sponsors – Thrive Web Marketing, Information for Her Australia for Australian Women, The Blogging Times, eMoms at Home, Dave Taylor, Poker on a Mac, bloglinkr, 451 Press and Rob Schaumer, DeveloperCube.
Now that all the submissions are in (it’s no longer Thursday anywhere) I won’t be accepting any more and I’ll now begin the task of randomly selecting this round’s winners of the 10 great prizes (see below for details of what they are). I’ll post the results of this soon.
In the mean time – here are the last submissions of the project for you to surf through. Please surf and link up to those you enjoy the most. As there is no real ‘judging process’ for this project the real judging happens as you link up to your favorites. The full list of submissions from all days is here. Here are todays:

The link for “Top 10 Ugliest Sneakers of 2006 by Terry” seems to be incorrect.
Wow, am I excited about this. I only hope I can get through as many of these reviews and predictions that I can. I’ve not managed to read all the submissions for a group writing project before, but I plan to try this time!
Thanks again Darren, for such a great project and a really interesting topic too!
Here is my pick of the top 3 posts for 2007 on dipnoi http://dipnoi.org/archives/category/uncategorized/
The link for “Beware – Are you the Weakest Link in Your Team?” is also incorrect. The link should point to: http://www.management-college.net/81/beware-are-you-the-weakest-link-on-your-team/
Thanks!
Thanks for your work on this, and thanks for handing out those links. Have a nice holiday.
