Question regarding VS 2010 Extension Result
-
Hi, Today, I saw the results of VS 2010 is released. I saw a few articles, which I think cool. Even I wrote one article for the competition : Code InfoBox Visual Studio Extension (VSX) 2010[^] I wrote this article on January. Is there anything wrong with that article, that makes it not selected in the winners list? I think my article is the first one published for the competition, and its popularity is higher than all other articles that won the competition. (I am sure popularity is determined based on the weights of users who voted for my article) I really dont bother about prizes.. Just thinking about the reason. Thanks and Regards

I don't think winners are chosen purely on vote average or popularity. There may be a final selection panel of some sort that decided the winners, and given that they are human, their choices will be quite subjective. So don't worry too much about it. Not winning does not mean your article's bad - just that the judge or judges did not like it for some reason. :-) As you can see from your post rating, people were mad at you for merely asking this here : 1.73/5 (5 votes) I personally think it's a valid question though in future you might want to email Chris directly! It's kinda awkward to ask in public why you did not win.
