DYI Network Builds a House with Bloggers
How many bloggers does it take to screw in a light bulb? While the stats on that question might not be currently available, the DIY Network recently used over 4 million blogger-generated suggestions to execute a significantly more complicated project: building a log cabin in the foothills of Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains.
Volunteer bloggers were able to vote on a variety of the cabin's features, from roof style (shingles or tin?) to kitchen cabinetry (country or stainless steel?), and to watch the building in progress. Throughout the effort, bloggers were encouraged to share their own cabin-building experiences and to add their expertise to the blog community's pot.
The result of DIY's online efforts is a new T.V. series, appropriately titled, "Blog Cabin." Now that the cabin is built, the DIY Network is going to give it away in a sweepstakes with a "once daily" entry policy that should drive even more traffic to the Blog Cabin site.
