With all this talk about blog popularity I have decided it's time to get Airbag on the A-List.
None of the helpful suggestions from Anil Dash seem applicable to Airbag, so I came up with a sure fire way to be more popular.
I'm going to buy my way to the top.
Airbag is fast approaching the 1000th comment mark and to celebrate the occasion I have decided to give away a $25 Amazon gift certificate to the person who pushes discussions over the millennium mark.
There are, of course, some rules and restrictions.
1. The winning comment must be written in English and it must have something to do with the topic. Your comment must be coherent, gibberish will only get you a smack on the head not free stuff from Amazon. Also, the winning comment must be made to the top 5 entries — if I get one more person asking me how to hack into hotel television, I'm gonna close this content shop for good!
Or,
2. Read, write, don't be an idiot, and win!
Good luck.
Join the fray by reading through and commenting at the end.
What a swell guy you are! I have been reading your site for sometime and have enjoyed your posts even before you offered bribes. I really like your graphic sensiblity. Keep up the good work.
I wanted Fig Newtons, Greg.
Can I write incoherent gibberish to drive the number of comments closer to 1000 and then deliver a brilliantly insightful comment as the winner? (Assuming I'm capable of the latter of course.)
Damn, you found a loop hole. I should also add that this competition is not valid in the following states: AR, WV, ND and ME and Puerto Rico.
First Todd Dominey admits that he's trying to inflate his stats on What Do I Know with articles about MTV Cribs and now the Amazon gift certificate ploy. I have to come up with something creative for my site or I'm going to be left in the dust.
By the way, I was in Orange County this weekend but I didn't stop by the Peet's on Saturday. Maybe next time.
Mmmmm, Peets coffee. Maybe we should all meet at Peets on Saturday morning. Doan and I could carpool.
May I indulge in coffeephila once more? My first encounter with Peet's was when I ordered my usual French roast with a shot (a Shot in the Dark), and, arrogantly ignored the advice of the barista who advised me of their regular brew's strength. I took one sip and realized my mistake, but I manfully gagged the mixture down anyway. (Much to my intestine's displeasure.)
What a pleasure to have found a commecially brewed coffee that meets my standards for taste and strength. Viva Peet's, and, Greg, why in Heaven's name do you go to Starbucks when there is a Peet's in your county?!?!
Um, what was the topic?
If I lived in Hazard County and was a Duke boy capable of driving the General Lee at ungodly speeds then I would probably make Peets the breakfast de jour each and every day.
Unfortunately I live in the largest suburbia in the world, were soccer moms clog the road with SUVs and impeed the road, making my Peets desire an impossibility.
25 bucks, huh? Will the loving and giving ever stop at Airbag?
Isn't it Hazzard County
The love never stops at Airbag. Now in Hazzard County that is a different matter.
Congratulations to Blake for winning the contest!
