Today was a pretty slow day at Mahalo in regards to official contest and there were few announcements made about anything. Barnraising Contest #8 just got underway but there was no news to report on who was leading the charge.
Community Manager, Jeff Hoard began his Mahalo Timelines project as his Date and Year project had came full circle. The new timeline initiative is to ensure Mahalo has visually stimulating timelines built on important topics.http://www.mahalo.com/answers/today-in-history/what-is-one-significant-event-that-that-happened-on-september-3 As part of the timeline project @jeffhoard plans on asking for significant events. @bunnyphuphu won best answer for the creative way she introduced September 3rd as being the day World War II beganhttp://www.mahalo.com/answers/today-in-history/what-is-one-significant-event-that-that-happened-on-september-3
