[toyboy88]

*Voting is open til TONIGHT only (Friday Nov 21) until midnight...please vote now!


Hey Beyonders!

Need the amazing powers of Beyond voting to help out again! :)

Some of you may know, the University had a "contest" few weeks ago to name the new UofC search database system...I submitted a entry name "uSearch", thinking meh if somehow they pick mine...yay! If not, oh well...

Well totally forgot about this, but today I log-on to the library computer at the university, and off the home page see the "final round of voting"...so I remember and click the link...the top 6 finalists have been selected for final voting round! Low and behold, the first entry at the top of the list is mine! (uSearch)

It says ~300 entries were received, and if any people picked the same name and it wins voting, they get put in a random draw if that is the case...hopefully I was the only one to think of "uSearch" haha!


So long story short...asking for you to please help and vote, takes 5 seconds and NO form/registration required!

Here is the link:

** VOTE FOR: "uSearch" ** :D


Big thanks in advance! Cheers. :)

Good luck, but with entries like this:



MultiSearch
PowerSearch
D.I.N.O. Search (Do It Now Once)
Argos (Argos was a giant with 100 eyes, allowing him to look many places at once)
Kaleidoscope (many sources becoming one vision)

I don't think you're going to need it. That name had to have been submitted more than once - it's sooo obvious.

[JfuckinC]

lol at D.I.N.O. search
what a faggy ass name :rofl:
DO IT, NOW! ONCE.

[viff3r]

I voted for D.I.N.O.

Sorry.

[QuasarCav]

I voted for Argos because he can look at many places.

[rece]

think about it. D.I.N.O at UofC they ARE the "dinos" seems logical to me

Thanks for the votes so far guys! :)

Yeah, when I first saw the other names - I thought it was a joke??!

And if they received "nearly 300" entries and stuff like "Argos" made it to the "final 6"...imagine what the other ~290 entries were like?!?! lol.

I'm sorry to admit that I had to vote MultiSearch in order to endorse the multicultural aspect of the University (as well as those students suffering from Multiple Sclerosis). I also added an addendum requesting foot-washing stations in the library and computer labs.

I would have entered "Pretty Efficient Database Organizer Search"

What's sad is that whoever suggested Argos clearly didn't know their mythology. Argos is a city, Argus is the giant with one hunderd eyes, and also the name of an awesome Wishbone Ash album.

[roopi]

Voted for D.I.N.O. :thumbsup:

In Greek mythology, Argus Panoptes or Argos, guardian of the heifer-nymph Io and son of Arestor, was a giant with a hundred eyes

:dunno: pretty dumb name regardless...

OP: What do you get if you win?

EDIT: 16gig iPod nano...

[mo_money2supe]

Voted! Let us know the results!

[dino_martini]

So what ever happened with this. Did you win?

[toyboy88]

I haven't heard back from them, but they haven't posted their results on the library home page yet either...?

:dunno:

[JDMsomething]

what about a WTF search

what the fuck you lookin for? :P
