How are we all doing?

We have been reading the blog posts streaming in from the TOP 12 couples, and there can be no doubt in anyone’s mind that their victory was well deserved. It gets tough, very tough from this point on to make up one’s mind on who is likely to make it to the TOP 3.

For all of you fans (and contestants) who are reading this post, would like to make a small announcement. We have released a new feature on site, that lets fans make a prediction of the 3 teams likely to make it to the TOP 3, and also indicate their pick for the winner of the challenge. This feature is available ‘only for fans’ when they log-in to GDC. In addition fans (who are crunched for time) will be able to use a ‘I like’ feature on your posts, to indicate they are indeed reading and following your posts everyday.

Hopefully as soon as we have a critical mass of data, we can start showing you some trends that will help answer the question: “How are we doing, thus far?”


How are we doing, thus far ?

The going is getting tougher and tougher and you have 12 amazing couples who seem to be enjoying the journey, thus far !

We can’t wait for 3rd Aug to dawn on us to meet the 11 other wonderful couples.

You were right about the 18 strangers to 24 friends Sandip !!

Dear Fans,

Assuming you are signed up already, all you need to do is “log-in” using menu at top. You will be led to a dashboard of 12 teams - there are 3 small flags to the left, of each team.

Just click on them and wait for your action to register. The flags will change color.

When you are done indicating
a) the team you following
b) your predicted TOP 3 and
c) your predicted winner

You can move on to browse the site. If you have uploaded a pic of yourself, you should see the same when you visit the blog page of your favorite team.

Neat feature…congratulations!

I would suggest that you send a detailed mail to all followers guiding them on the new features. And also simple steps explaining them how to go about it.

Regards,
-Rishi

Please make sure “shifting” loyalty is not taken positively. People can do that just for the sake of prizes when they see trends.

Followers must be loyal to the team once the drive starts and onwards.

I would highly recommend
1. Do not allow to shift the three flags once drive starts
2. Do not publish the total count of followers anywhere

This can help make the game fair.
Just my 0.01. No intention of interfering with TGDC team. I trust you guys. :o)
