My co-stars and I are €400 richer thanks to this blog becasue I am delighted to report that our recent video was awarded first prize in the competition run by the organisers of the EuFMD Meeting on the Global Control of FMD, Tools, Ideas and Ideals (held just this past week in beautiful Sicily).
Sunset in Sicily last Wednesday
The award was based simply on the number of hits that each entry received and our effort—shamelessly pimped on this site—was far and away the most viewed. So thanks to everyone who gave their support!
Blog power – you can’t beat it!
heh, well done. Drinks on you, next time?
Yes, the Milky Bars are on him.
Drinks, milky bars – whatever people want…!
dancing girls?
Only chocolate ones…
Congratulations Stephen. I didn’t see the other videos, but your video definetely deserved to win a prize.
Yes, congratulations, Stephen. Very impressive.
Thanks Martin and Maxine.
I see from YouTube’s Insight tool that most views so far have originated in the UK, though it’s relative popularity is greatest in Ethiopia!
But only 22% of viewers have been women – I guess I’ll have to learn how to increaase my appeal to that sector…
Hey, congratulations!!
I guess from the picture that you were near Motia, were the sea salt production is, in the very west part of the island. What a great spot. Did you get a chance to visit Erice?
Whoo-hoo!
Speaking as one of those women, I might point out that sometimes when gender is requested, we put the other one. Just to keep people on their toes and to avoid random solicitations. Of course, some people like that.
Mine’s a pint, Stephen.
Well done, and well deserved!
Thanks everyone!
Yes Massimo, the meeting was held in Erice – quite a spectacular mountain-top location (and a rather scary drive to get there – not helped by the fact that the town was shrouded in cloud when I arrived). We visited the Greek temple and theatre at Segesta – very impressive – and then the salt works (?) just to the south of Erice where we were treated to dinner, much of it salted fish!
Would you care for some salt?
Well Heather I had no idea about that dissembling strategy – curious but a bit sad that women have to protect themselves online in this way.
