Thanks for linking the the blogs! I’ve been having a tough time tracking down more info on the Top 50… how can we vote on someone to be a blogger if they have no internet presense?!

There are several Top 50 who are members of the Island Reef Forum and have blogs that you don’t have listed, I’ve got those collected here:http://mywildheart.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/congrats-to-my-top-50-friends/

While the 50 applicants shortlisted for the Tourism Queensland’s “Best Job in the World” deserve to be congratulated, those chosen continue to highlight the failings present in this rather cynical marketing campaign. Interestingly, 35 of these shortlisted videos are longer than 60 seconds when in the closing days of the competition as many as 5000 videos were rejected for exceeding 60 seconds. Many were actually shorter than 60 seconds or were between 60 and 61 seconds, but Tourism Queensland simply passed it off as a glitch in their content management system.

People with videos under 61 seconds who were rejected are invited to post their video.
