Congratulations, Cookie Crumbles Finalists!
From StopBadware.org...
The cameras have been put away, the frenzied video editing is complete, and out of 24 official entries, the five finalists for the Cookie Crumbles contest have been chosen.
The contest challenged video creators to explain what web cookies are and to explore their privacy implications in quick 2-minute videos, which were then posted to our YouTube group. We received some fantastic entries, from the serious to the hilarious, all of them creative. Our friends at Consumer Reports WebWatch then had the difficult task of narrowing the field to only five finalists.
The final five videos are:
“Cookies 101” by munkeefunkee
“Cookies” by clay10mograf
“What is a Cookie?” by AlaskaRobotics
“Got Cookies?” by Jschaack
“What’s A Cookie With Mari?” by madamelevy
The five finalists will travel to Washington, DC at the end of this week, where their videos will be presented as part of the United States Federal Trade Commission’s Town Hall workshop entitled “Ehavioral Advertising: Tracking, Targeting, and Technology.” At the workshop, a panel of judges will also choose one video creator to receive the contest’s $5,000 grand prize.
We’d like to extend a huge thank-you to everyone who participated in the contest! There were inevitably more excellent videos than we could choose, so we encourage you to take a look at all the videos in the YouTube group. You’re certain to laugh, and hopefully also to learn.
