To make creating contests even easier, we put together a Caption Blitz bookmarklet called "Blitz This!". Basically, you drag the bookmark, which is displayed on certain Caption Blitz pages, into your bookmarks bar for quick access. Then, when you're on your blog or website, you can click the Blitz This! bookmarklet to bring up a window to create your contest. Once your contest is created, you can easily share the short URL, post to Twitter, email or share on Facebook.
Here's a little video that shows the bookmarklet in action:
We're making progress on making Caption Blitz a bit more game-like. A leaderboard has been implemented on the homepage as well as under the browse navigation. We've also made the focus of the primary navigation more about finding and creating contests as well as promoting great captioners.
The featured contest on the homepage has also evolved to be more dynamic, again, allowing for more promotional opportunities for those who start great contests and captions. There are other ideas we have for promoting the funniest captions and contests as well as the people who create them. We hope to implement those soon.
