Here’s a quick update on the Fuze Tell A Story Contest. The entry submission date (19th June) is over, so no more entries… they are frozen. The voting will continue as scheduled till the 22nd of June. Just three more days for you to vote for your favorite presentations.

To see contest entries and vote, go here.

We’ve had a huge response so far - app 2500 presentations from across the world have been entered into the contest, with close to 10000 overall votes already. The votes count is likely to rise significantly in the next 3 days… stay tuned.

If you are participating in the contest, ask your friend, family, colleagues etc to vote… you might just end up winning the top prize of 5000$.

Big thanks to the contest sponsors Fuze Meeting.

You might have already caught these on TechCrunch (in separate back to back articles). We’re sharing both these decks together for those who missed it.

The first of these decks is titled VC Non Admissions. The deck was adapted from a thread on ExpertCEO contributed by a range of CEOs and VCs about the top twelve things you’d never hear a VC say.

The reply came fast. And it was titled Founders Non Admission.

We’re happy to announce that our relaunched Facebook app has been verified by those awesome folks at Facebook. Facebook rolled out this program yesterday and only a select few from the thousands of Facebook applications have made it to the verified list. We had to work in close co-ordination with the Facebook team to ensure that we satisfy the strict standards for this program. Our app is part of the Business & Finance section of Facebook’s application directory.

If add the SlideShare app to your Facebook profile, go here.
