Citizen journalism and social media catch and spread ideas. Because of the rise of citizen journalism websites that pay for anecdotal content, the citizens of every nation are becoming more and more conditioned to share emotional responses with relative strangers, online. Studies done in the UK show that 12% of online population age 16 to 35 know about and have used a complaints website to record and make public some personal rage against a business. And this is only the beginning...
But it should be stated that complaint websites are not a one way street. Good complaints websites can turn negative remarks into positive publicity by increasing customer satisfaction in just one individual. That's actually what a good complaint website should be all about. The best sites in the business target a specific region and becomes a conduit for angry consumers and responsible business. The best sites allow visitors to rage unrestricted by complex registration rituals, but also give corporations an equal opportunity to respond, while the membership body grades the quality of each submission.
Canadians are not complainers. Up here in Toronto Canada we have never had a full blown revolution, or even a good tax revolt; it's not in our culture to talk back to authority (or retailers or suppliers etc) . We quietly tolerate scandalous politicians, unpopular wars, and fiscally irresponsible car companies. Should I even mention the cell phone industry that charges 'system access fees' each month? Canadians are too nice, and as a nation we get shafted all the time.
Right up until January 2009 there was no online venue built specifically for Canadian 'social complaints'.
Tell Oscar is the first real complaints website in Canada. The site lets Canadians praise good customer service and record their bad experiences. The idea is that corporations can be made to listen and made to understand the relevance of having and maintaining a good social reputation. More importantly, the website encourages business leaders to get involved and emails them if and when there are critical remarks or compliments posted on site. Turning negative remarks into positive publicity and increasing customer satisfaction is what good complaints websites do best.

How To Find and Win Online Contests
For many reasons the fastest growing demographic on the internet today is freelance moms and frugal shoppers. These people also like contests and internet marketers have learned that contests are a great way to harvest a lot of email addresses and build a benevolent brand. So the number of online contests available to consumers is way up this summer, and you will soon discover that without a plan of action it can all get very overwhelming.
First you should adopt disposable email addresses, like gmail or hotmail and use the identities to enter contests.
Then create a routine and find a good contest index websites to filter through the old and new business and make it easier to schedule 'contest time' . North of the border, I use All Canada Contests which divides hundreds of web challenges into regions, and also by the prizes offered , like automobiles, electronics, home prizes, travel packages etc
I usually avoid contests with spectacular prizes to enter contests that offer multiple prizes. The odds of winning something are dramatically increased in contests with multiple prizes. Find contests with ‘prize schedules’ where there’s a quota to be dispensed according to demographics – these benefit the consistent entrant who varies his or her routine.
Make entering contest easier by using downloading and using free form filler software such as RoboForm
There’s a few different systems, but RoboForm lets users rapidly enter repetitive data (name, e-mail, address and phone number) by using their mouse and clicking prefabricated options. This makes the process much easier and builds your chances of success by increasing the amount of contests you can enter in a day.
If you can submit applications to one hundred contests a day, you can enter five hundred contests a week, and that’s two thousand chances a month, and that offers a reasonable chance of something and perhaps making as much as a doctor or an investment banker would have earned in the same amount of time.
