This Contest Ended on July 3, 2008. Winners: UKJohn (1st), nrybeck (2nd), kkunkel (3rd), dadeal (4th), nob (5th). Congratulations!
Watch this video of Moonjee and generate ideas on the following questions:
a) How can Moonjee gain thousands of users by marketing online?
b) What are some cool or creative ways for Moonjee to earn revenues?, and
c) Which new interesting features can Moonjee create for the next generation of its website?
Additional Background:
Moonjee is a web application that allows users to have fun with photos of people. Moonjee lets you change the way people look and even do an online makeover. Think about how you might you increase awareness of Moonjee, market it in different ways, and ultimately add thousands of new users and earn revenue to support future development of the site. Your creative ideas could include online marketing strategies on specific websites, video concept ideas, search engine optimization, ad revenue sources or affiliates to use, or even specific partnership ideas with other organizations or websites. In addition to marketing, which engaging features might they add to make the site more entertaining or useful for users?

Here's a good one: some people on MySpace have changed their photos - one of my friends has just changed her photo so that her face appears blue. It would be good if you could find a way to quickly find people on MySpace who have made such changes and target them as potential users of Moonjee.

Great software. Nice interface. Fun to use! Blur to Focus Productions post team uses 2D and 3D software to create effects for films and TV shows. We could use you use this software for previsualization and animatics. This simple and easy process could save time and money, especially in preproduction.

The Moonjee blog is showing examples of Moonjee in use. The same model is being used, but to get an early 'buzz' going about moonjee they could post on Facebook and ask for volunteers' to submit their photos and these could be used to create more examples.

The Moonjee blog has a post where the race of the model is changed. I've noticed if you squint, this is even more effective. http://www.moonjee.com/blog/?p=6 This would make the photo (and Moonjee) appeal to optical iluusions sites (such as http://www.moillusions.com/ ) To further publicize Moonjee, this site could be contacted to feature the photo or Moonjee.

People like to inform others of how they feel, but its not always convienient to change a photo. Moonjee could allow users to create images and associate them with feelings. Mad, Sad, Glad, Exicited etc. This way users could easily alter the image displaying current mood. Maybe they could update by way of text messaging?

Cool face manipulation! What if people could use Moonjee along with social network profiles. Users could choose which faces to show which contacts. Makeover for the crush in my life, and a goofy face for my friend. Whatever face I choose to wear for whoever I want to wear it.
