You are a smart guy. ;)…That is a nice incentive to get people to interact. Yeah, 100$ for writing a comment is something that would get people out of their comfort zone and make them share their views.

@Mesmerized, Your regular participation in discussion on this blog is much appreciated. About the startup – I would say it will be a great app to have on your blog / website…
@Sumedh, thanks…I have sent you a separate mail to that effect…but yes, I am open.
@Ashwin, the main purpose for this contest is to increase participation. I am surprised at the number of users who spend quite a lot of time reading posts, however, when it comes to comment, less than .001 % visitors actually do it….

Thats a great thought and will surely help even we readers to be more participative. Nice way to have even the silent readers to share their thoughts on the article.
Keep up the great work!

Another Month – Of some great reading.

Neat Marketing tactic you have there – and i like the fact you have a word limit.

Thats what i like about blogs – you write what you want to write you choose what goes where and who advertises. You deserve it all

But of most im waiting to hear what you have under your sleeve regarding that start up!
