Most Awesomest Revenue Stream Ever

Brooklyn based Big Spaceship has released version 2.0 of its creation Most Awesomest Thing Ever, essentially a crowd-sourced game that perpetually randomly pits one thing against another (for instance "The Chicken Dance vs Spaceships" or "Chrome vs Gladiators" or "Jay-Z vs the Horsehead Nebula") asking the user to pick one based only on the vague attribute of "awesomeness." Users may also add items that go into the engine so long as they add a picture.

Originally the results would be tabulated in master lists of the Most Awesomest ("Life" comes out on top) and the Most Inadequatest (those that have lost the most battles, in this case, "Justin Bieber").

Cooked up and developed in-house by Big Spaceship, the site previously served no other purpose than gauge awesomeness. Not to imply that that is a minor concern, what we mean is, the work was not done for a client.

But when the site launched last spring it garnered notices in the Huffington Post, Thrillist, and Time, among others.

V2.0 adds in a revenue stream, with the ability to run paid ads. Other upgrades, Most Awesomest and Inadequatest of the day and week leaderboards are also listed now (right under the ad spot). And Facebook and Twitter share features that allow people to share not just the site, but individual battles, so that one may now, say, get one's friends opinions on pressing matters such as determining which is more awesome between "Gravy" and "Slurpee." Come on, you know the answer to that.
