Recordcup今年三月開始成立了校園合作專區,也幸運的與實踐大學、台東大學做課程上的合作，五月兩所學校的學生分組，將在Recordcup推廣企劃，很令人期待!!!希望到時候Recordcup的會員們，一定要多多捧同學們的場，給予鼓勵和多多參與。

New Recordcup says Hi to everybody!!!

2008-09-11T02:16:00.000-07:00

Last month Recordcup told our users that the new version is coming soon and Today 2008/09/11(OK~it doesn't remind people of a wonderful date) the new Recordcup is launched officially. As a member of Recordcup Team, I couldn't describe how much I am touched to see the new Recordcup. And I believe our users have the same feeling with me.
Since it's a new version, there must be some problems which needed to fix. So we do need users' feedback if you find some functions you think it is not user-friendly. We will appreciate your help.

新版Recordcup出亮相，羞答答地和大家打招呼～
上個月Recordcup在官方部落格宣佈我們即將推出新版，今天2008/09/11這個值得紀念的一刻，新版Recordcup真的上線了唷～偷偷說，身為Recordcup的一員，真的很感動，也希望我們的使用者能夠跟Recordcup一同分享這份感動。

因為是新版本，所以在使用經驗上，一定有些還不夠流暢的地方，所以誠摯的邀請我們的使用者，善用〝意見反應〞功能，這將會促使Recordcup越來越好!!

The latest News! Recordcup broke down><

Recordcup found out one of our servers breaking down, so now some functions in Recordcup couldn't work, such as "search", " promotion". We apologize sincerely for the inconvenience we caused, and we are working on fixing the problem. So please be patient for a couple of days, we will give you a complete and much more interesting Recordcup back. When we fix the problem, we will make another anouncement to let our users know again.

Recordcup很不幸地要通知我們的使用者，因為我們架設的一台主機故障了，因此Recordcup上的部份功能，暫時無法使用，其中包括了「搜尋」、「贊助活動」以及台灣版推出的「我很窮但是我也想辦演唱會」的活動。
Recordcup在此對故障所造成使用者的不便致上最深的歉意，也請愛用的使用者可以耐心等候，我們正在全力解決造成故障的原因。一旦排除故障因素後，我們將會另外發出恢復正常功能的申明，讓使用者可以再度使用完成又有趣的Recordcup。

2008/06/25 Recordcup前往Idea Show

Idea show為資策會首次舉辦，係引進美國「DEMO」國際發表方式，該發表平台除鎖定媒體、網路投資者、網路業者外，硬體廠商也開始對網路加值服務感興趣。
Recordcup也磨拳擦掌地前往參加，這是Recordcup團隊不孤單，同時也讓測試版的Globme跟著去見識台灣的網路業者還有投資者，可說是Globme的處女秀！！雖然此次Idea show, Recordcup還是以舊版本去做6分鐘簡報，但能夠有這樣的平台讓新創網站能夠放膽show一下，真的要感謝資策會。每一次的準備過程、每一次的上台報告都是重新檢視自己網站的機會，如同設計出讓使用者覺得好用又好玩的網站一樣，要怎麼樣言簡意賅的讓投資者、網評家等了解網站特性和前景，都還是Recordcup持續在努力當中的。
雖然這一次沒有得到評審大獎，但學習和進步仍是永無停歇的，若能得到網友們的肯定，或許對Recordcup來說，才會是最大的評審獎!!!!

放幾張當天的照片與Recordcup網友們分享........

聲吶超人 -Ben Underwood

2008-01-10T23:40:00.001-08:00

我們的身邊也許有很多人會表演某些奇才藝能，Recordcup 上世界上真正存在的英雄票選裡就有許多奇人異事，例如身體可以吸鐵的馬來西亞萬磁王 Liew Thow Lin ，腹部可以吸起任何鐵器；又例如獅子王 Kevin Richardson可以自在的和獅子生活在一起；不過我們今天要介紹的是目前的第一名，人體聲吶機 - Ben Underwood。

根據資料告訴我們 Ben 在三歲的時候得了眼癌，導致他的雙眼被挖除，不過就像是熱血漫畫或電影一樣，失去了重要的器官反而讓他發現了自己的超能力，就是他的耳朵具有聲吶的功能，在影片裡我們可以看到他不但能投籃球（有投進喔），還可以自己去戶外騎腳踏車，甚至還可以玩 NDSL 掌上電動，在家裡樓上樓下到處趴趴走，過著和一般人一樣的生活，他也是目前全世界唯一有這種能力的人類，利用迴音判斷出身邊物品的位置，就像蝙蝠和海豚一樣，所以他當選第一名可以說是實至名歸了。

想看到更多現實生活裡的超能力者，請參考這個項目。

2007-10-25T23:42:00.001-07:00

Recordcup - Ranking method

2007-09-12T00:21:00.000-07:00

When you play with Recordcup, you may find two different result between contests :

Quantification and non-quantification.

What is quantification ? For example, the tallest man, tallest woman, fastest 400m male athlete...

that can be counted and gave an accurate number to judgment contest rank.

In quantification contest, you can pick your favorite candidate but it will not influence contest rank. The result will sort by real record. You can find knowledge and likes / dislikes trend in this contest.

What is non-quantification ? For example, best Michael Jordan slam dunk ever, most dangerous job, the most sexy bikini... that judged by people's impression or reaction.

So in non-quantification contest, your pick will influence contest result. The more you pick means candidate get more cups.

What are you waiting for ? Play now!!

We're back!

2007-09-11T04:08:00.000-07:00

Okay ladies and gentleman, we're proud to be back!

After about 6 hours of "morphing", we are back to business again. The upgrade is smoother than we thought.

In the new version, we've made some changes and added some new features:

1. V.S channel : We separated every contests and group them to V.S mode, which helps the user to choose real "better one". Our system will apply the scoring according to what the user picks.

2. Image support: We promised it, now it's here. Now you can upload images freely and easily. And it serves just as good as a video clip. Sometimes a picture is more convictive than a film.

3. Tally rule : We adjusted tally rule, every contest had it's summary score(cups). The more candidates represent more cups. Winner takes all cups will be used in our new mode.

4. New search interface : We know the original search just isn't good enough. So we rolled out a completely rewritten search engine, returning better search results, along with an improved search interface! You can search to find more out of Recordcup now.

5. Statistics members favorite : We pop up every contest's No.1 and statistic members favorite. Let user know what is different between his/her choice.

We hope you liked the new Recordcup just as we did. Feel free to check out the new version! If you have any feedback, please let us know.

Let's crack some more World Records on Recordcup again!!
