Entries are chosen based on our judging criteria:
-Whether the content is something friends and followers would be interested in reading (is exciting, strange, very useful, very funny, or has some other potential for going viral)
-Long-tail, niche topic that has not been extensively covered online
-Search-friendly title (mirrors common search terms)
-Excellent writing (proper use of grammar, capitalization)
-Unique (not copied or paraphrased from elsewhere online, full of details, examples, names, and figures)
-Attractive formatting (avoidance of excessive link, eBay, or Amazon capsule clutter, excessive bolding or italics, and all-caps)
-Judicious use of relevant capsules (original photos (especially your own), video, maps, tables, links, news, etc.)
