Design Eye for the Startup Guy
Guy Kawasaki, legendary entrepreneur and technology evangelist, "open-sourced" part of his new book. A few weeks back, he launched a contest for people to design the cover of the book, The Art of the Start.
While Guy in still deciding the winner, he's posted all the 264 entries online here.
Having people participate in the creation of the book generated some nice buzz in the press and blogosphere. But what would have even been more fun would have been a voting mechanism to let us all vote for our favorite design entries.
Like this one....which should win an award for most irrelevant use of finger puppets.

As long as he's watching hits he's got a voting system: How many of those images did you zoom?
Dan,
I did look at a bunch of entries, but I wouldn't say my zooming would equate to voting.
I think a nice "Hot or Not"-type (www.hotornot.com) voting system would work nicely : )
Jackie,
It indicated at the top of the page that Guy would be picking a short list from all of the offerings.
We can't assume, but it seems like there may be an opportunity to vote once his narrowed it down. I don't know how many hits that page gets, but the strength of making a decision on votes spread across 263 choices is likely to be low. Perhaps there will be the opportunity to vote on Guy's top 10 choices.
I'm glad they showed us all of the choices. They could have chosen to sift through and show only those in which Guy was interested.
