DISQUS

MMK080 · 2 years ago

LOL! interesting post, Blue. I don't know how they can get away with something like this.

iamnasra · 2 years ago

"I cannot think of how this could ever be a meaningful competition when it is totally based on the wrong concept, if you want to celebrate design, arts, and creativity, you reward the DESIGNER, not the owner that did nothing but pay the money. The judgement process should be open to the public, making random people you call judges give out scores on their own in their little offices is wrong, nobody knows on what basis these people give out their scores, the jury should be able to meet up and discuss their scores, say why someone deserved to win and why others lost. And yeah, maybe you should check that the judges are not participating in the competition before asking them to decide who wins."


I dont follow this award but yeah you got point in there

Well what a shame!


Power is always mis-used and what makes it even worse is that when don't qualify to judge others are being responsible of making judgments! I'm talking about those two Indian ameigos' judging Arabic sites!



Now the role they have given you is really funny and meaningless! It has all been cooked from the very beginning! loool! Actually I was surprised how they accepted you to be one of the judges but the email they sent just said it all!

Blue Chi · 2 years ago

Dear Suchita, thanks for your comment. I believe that my post is very clear in regard to the fact that the Oman Web Awards event is very poorly judged to say the least, there is no transparency (nobody knows on what basis these websites won the competition), the judges are not qualified and are selected randomly (I myself convinced you to become a validator without you knowing who I was or without you even asking to see my qualifications), it does not reward website designers (nobody knows who actually designed the website of any of the companies that won), and the list goes on.


I have proof on everything I said, list of participants, scores, and judges names.

This was amazing!


I participated in 2005, i got the GOLDEN award. But i also promised my self not to participate again in this scam. That is exactly what i did.



I don't even know which store did i keep the trophy in.



Suchita, i advise that you get a grip on your self and read what you posted again. After that, make some sensible advices to the office you are working for.



Although i won the golden award, as mentioned in previous posts in here, my site was never mentioned in the newspaper. When i called and asked for the reason. The answer was "We do not know who takes care of that". That's when the last piece of the jigsaw fitted.



Blue-chi, did you send this to any newspaper or magazine? If not you should.

Blue Chi · 2 years ago

Dear Evilio, I did not contact any magazine or newspaper in Oman because I do not think that traditional media outlets would publish such facts and opinions.

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Hie, I have been followin your comments & I feel that you SHOULD speak to the media about it! Not just are these awards senseless but also the person involved "Suchita" too is. You will be surprised to know that she recently "left" ABS & has now joined SJS which coincidentally are the event organisers this year!
Donot be surprised if SJS gets the "Best Web Designer" award this year!! Also, does anyone know that all the winners in last year's "Automobile Category" were CLIENTS of ABS? And above all where did this category comeup all of a sudden from ?

Were these awards AUDITED for authentication? MOst surprisingly, ITA was so closely involved with such an award!! Whom to blame & why aint the govt bodies doin anything to curb such NONSENSICAL & Hoax Award Ceremonies?

suchita · 1 year ago

Why are you so much in love with me.


Stop shooting from my shoulders.

If you feel you can make any difference for the development of the initiative of Oman Web Awards, please talk to.



President - PAWA

presenters - ABS

Patronage - ITA

Organisers - SJS



Suchita is only a peace lover.

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Hey guys just chk out Oman Web Awards press releases & articles since its inception! Ul see that apart from change in years from 2005 to 2006 to 2007 everything else remians just the same...each & every word! Doesnt this also show how uninterested ABS is in all this apart from the "Cost per Website Participation" !! Any comments?

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Noone can do anything about Oman Web Awards as the foundation stone when it was layed was ignited wrongly! You are to shoulder the blame as you have constantly been with Oman Web Awards somehow or the other! Oman Web Awards is as Blu Chi rightly says a SCAM & its high time people like you who are actively involved since its inception are questioned!
I sincerely wish there should be an Inquiry Commission behind Oman Web Awards since its inception whose report should be published for the laymen to see!

Its nothing against you Suchita, its against the SCAM which you are involved with!

Conceptual · 1 year ago

Here is the real inside story. This blog itself is a spam blog. Because as per the latest news the people from this blog itself are involved in the judgement and blowing it up out of proportion and targeting good people like suchita, who are only involved since the inception sticking truely to the objective. By the way as far as we know she is not at all involved this year.


Blue chi your idea is just to make this blog popular with the popular events and popular people like suchita.

Blue Chi · 1 year ago

Conceptual, yeah, I should talk more about "popular people like Suchita" to make my blog more popular.


OF ALL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, I should talk about SUCHITA because she is VERY POPULAR and people would come read my blog because of her POPULARITY.



Thanks for the advice, but you seem to have a misunderstanding about what this blog is, because I do know what you mean by 'the people of this blog' *as per* the latest news, and I have NO IDEA what the 'latest news' are.



And who is that 'we' in the "as far as we know she is not involved" sentence?

suchita · 1 year ago

I agree with you 'blue chi' your blog will not be popular with the name 'Suchita' but with the Medium you and me are passionate about and that is 'WEB'.
When I was at ABS I was given an opportunity as a caretaker of a baby Oman Web Awards and I accepted it because I always loved this medium. In its 2nd year it did suffer a lot of health problems due to lack of support. Now the care takers are changed and they are SJS they have nurtured it very well this year and I am very proud about it. There is a good response this year in terms of supporters and participants as well from different sectors because of SJS. New categories are introduced not only Automobile which was last year but this year we have Oil & Gas, HSE (Health Safety and Environment), Hospitality, Media Services & Event Management and Retail they all are introduced not because of Suchita but because of growing sectors as well as growing economy in Oman and by SJS. Suchita was a caretaker only for past two years, the only difference I made was I looked for the right guardians to take care further and they are SJS because I loved my baby and this Medium. The reason I am responding to your blog is because you too are passionate about this Medium which can be easily seen through this blog, We do need more and more Omanis to come ahead and grow this event further not just with criticism but with the right attitude to support through suggestions as it is Oman Web Awards whose objectives are.



*Promote the spirit of innovation and creativity.



*Raise the standards of web design and websites.



*Advocate growth & development of local talents



*Promote intellectual property awareness.



*Encourage all sectors to become involved in the digital economy.



Oman Web Awards is a medium to put Oman and Omanis on a World Map.

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Gosh this is gettin hillarious now!
THE famous Suchita huh? Famous in what aspect? Her "Marketing Strategies" to rope in "Contestants" in this award?? Or her "Oh your website dint win, let ABS (& now SJS handle it) & u can see the difference next year (Gives her FLIRTY smile)!! I am saying this as we had experienced the same in the past & so did THREE other "Contestants"!!

Just because we rae talking about the scam..the blog has suddenly become a SPAM! Great

So what is the scene this year, how many "Contestants" Targetted in OWA 2007?? We pity ALL OF THEM!

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Ok Suchita, we agree what you have to say & I will take all my words back, but can u ans the following Q's?
Should there not be a BACKEND support after the awards so that the "lost" companies know where they have gone wrong?? (WHen I had asked for support, though I am a winner, I was told "Judges decesion is final, when I was ONLY comparing my WON website & a website in the same category which had lost (The lost website was yes, BETTER than mine!)

2. Howcum the OWA sleeps the whole year & nothing is heard about it & suddenly its time to EARN so wake up?! Dont u guys have any Responsibility in your off peak season?

3. Why is there no support from your end after OWA is over & its time for PAn Arab Awards?? Is it because they dont PAY you for it?

4. Why has it been said that OWA winners are eligible for Pan Arab Awards when any TOM, DICK & HARRY can enter PAWA with/without OWA winning or even REGISTERING for OWA??? Is this not a FILTHY SCAM?

5. As Blue Chi says, howcum Non Arabic speaking people can judge Arabic websites? Or r u guys providing them withan ARABIC CRASH COURSE??

6. Who has the final verdict for the scores? DONT you DARE say its the Validators!! Last year & the previous year it was ABS!! WHY ? Who has given them the authority to play around with an "Award Ceremony" who has liberalised them to judge??

7. What involvement is there from PAN Aram Commitee apart from the STUPID & NONSENSICAL speech on the last day?

8. Howcum Categories suddenly comeup? Arenot the categories supposed to be DECLARED before the starting of the registration process?? Comon..you know what I am indicating!

9. How do you justfify the cost per website registration?

10. How are u "Advocating Growth & Local Talent"? By havin a one night award ceremony & not even letting anyone know what went behind the "Awards?

Guys....help me ask MS Famous & OWA saviour more Q's!

suchita · 1 year ago

First of all. Suchita never answers to people who cannot stand by their words. Secondly Mr. Gutsy with sooooooooooo many Q's before asking these questions REVEAL your name.

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Ms. Suchita, you not able to ans the above q's itself is a rubber stamp on what we all have to say!
Good Going!!

I will reveal my name...& I will do so in style.....just waitin for d award ceremony 2007!!

suchita · 1 year ago

Hey indo oman, I would like to share this with you, which I had composed long back, for this I am sure I donot need your name.


Will to Kill

--------------



Power is to kill

Strength is to will



Will to kill doesnot kill the will

so will not to kill is the strongest will



make the will for poverty kill

make the will for homicide kill

make the will for corruption kill

but make no will for human kill



because there is a way for every will

but no way for a kill



so will to kill doesnot kill the will

will not to kill is the strongest will.

suchita · 1 year ago

Do you know there are times when I feel that I am a waste and cannot do anything good. But I have found there are people who are an utter waste than me. Who do not even know how to swallow a spoon fed food. HA HA. And believe me they will remain waste in their entire life because creativity of any form is not just formation but also destruction, It is you who has to decide whether to use it for formation or for destruction. The people who choose destruction always remain destroyed and the people who choose formation always remain POPULAR.

Blue Chi · 1 year ago

Suchita, Instead of responding to the clear questions of indo_oman above, you are irritating us with your weird posts.


I am not sure if you have noticed that nobody here cares about you or your event. The OWA 200*7* (which was held in March 200*8*) was another stupid celebration, we did not care about participating, attending, or even posting about it. Thanks!

suchita · 1 year ago

Thank you very much blue chi atleast now you wrote the exact intensions of you and indo oman. Maybe indo oman will surely get his answer which I had mentioned it in my first reply. Your target was the event, sad to know that.

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Ms. Suchita, our target being the event or not, our target being the betterment of the awards or not, our target to showup on this blog or not is not the subject or the issue! You have very clearly diverted away from the Q's I had asked you as a spokesperson which in itself is a Question mArk!
Instead of coming to conclusions on your end about WHY we are here & what v r up2 u shud have answered r Q's....Were they that difficult? C'mon its a metter of TRANSPARENCY!! When u charge sum1 for sumthing & publish it in the papers, its a public entity & v r liable to ask u Q's! Its sad that ITA has gone to bed & has lost its so called SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY!

indo_oman · 1 year ago

And ya.....I have not understood wat u r trying to indicate from ds senselss poem!! So SPEAK UP & be upfront instead of sendin hidden messages (Which only u can depict)ask me directly!!
And ya, dont ask me who I am as if yoiu come to know who I am ......well, lets not get into it!

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Guys..came accross this on the net!
By the Way....the fullform of ABS is Advanced Business Solutions (Yes, THE great ABS).....To know more about an organisation, you need to ask d employees is what is believed!

So get a 1st Hand Experience on what SUCHITA had to herself say on her firm!

Blue Chi · 1 year ago

Suchita, you are a very strange person. I think that you are confused, or maybe something is seriously wrong with you. I am obviously against the event, what did you think that this post was about, you?

suchita · 1 year ago

If you are against the event you have no right to ask any questions if you still believe in it there are proper channels and proper manner to ask these questions through the website. This is definitely not the platform. No one has denied giving you any answers unless you haven't attempted. Last of all I am done with you.

Blue Chi · 1 year ago

Suchita, thanks for telling me about my rights on what to write on my blog. I'll make sure I apply for your approval before I post next time on my blog.

indo_oman · 1 year ago

Hey Blu Chi...will I also have to procurre Madamme's permission to interact on your blog??
Ha ha ha ha ha !! HEIGHTS!! lolzzzz
