<p align="justify">It really sparked my SEO/SEM interest because of the overwhelming popularity it received.&nbsp;&nbsp; Using an equal medium like a social network to gain popularity through a contest or such is just marketing genius in my opinion.&nbsp; </p>
<p align="justify">On a further note, I would like to thank Kina for taking the time to respond.&nbsp; We had a little trouble getting our schedules together, but we were able to finally collaborate on some questions.&nbsp; I personally am not a Myspace fan, but I signed up so I could vote for her everyday..</p>
