Many companies utilize Web
2.0 technologies for many different reasons such as business promotions,
advertisement and even contest. One
contest that used 2.0 technologies and was very popular was the Frito Lay new
flavor chip contest. Frito Lay promoted the contest on Facebook and Twitter by
encouraging contestants to enter their favorite chip idea. The price was one million
dollars or 1% of the sales. There were hundreds of entries including myself.
Some of the flavors were mac n cheese, cappuccino, caramel apple, buffalo sauce,
mango salsa, etc. People voted on the
best sounding flavor and four finals were chosen, made and put on store shelves
for the public to purchase and vote for their favorite. This was also done on
Facebook and Twitter as well with the final one million dollar winner being Wasabi Ginger.
