"If I lived in Ireland, if they had an American day, I certainly wouldn't run around the city acting like an ass on that day." - John, on St. Patrick's Day
Hey killograms, my friends over at urbanhonking.com are starting the second season of The Ultimate Blogger contest. It is a multi-week Blog off where contestants battle with wit and pixels. Check here for last season recaps
brandon [email] said at 2:25 AM 02-21-2006: Sounds like a lot of fun. But, sorry, I can't really do that right now. I'm booked up for this week. So booked up, in fact, I've had to turn down other offers for similar ventures. Plus, I'm neither witty nor funny, merely profane. Won't you people leave me alone?
I'm sure that Ben/Cecil/Amanda/Meredith/Kara/Josh"your pussy is no good" or someone else could definitely compete. But not Jake, definitely not Jake, or that other Jew, what's her face... the ass-y one who draws alot.
brandon [email] said at 3:30 AM 02-21-2006: Nevermind. I found said item. It's all yours. I really can't play. I've got some money/school matters that need attending to during the next two weeks that preclude my useful or active participation. I wouldn't even be up if it weren't for work (and we wouldn't even be talking about this if I wasn't a lesbian)
brandon [email] said at 1:28 AM 02-22-2006: I hope that the person who bid realizes that they've spent 200 hundred bucks merely for a chance at all those prizes.
jake [email] said at 11:04 AM 02-21-2006: Oooh! Ad Hominem!
Seriously, Josh, you can be just as pendantic.
Look them up on alexa for starters, and I dunno, googlefight them against killoggs after that. Is Technorati good for this sort of thing?
Seriously, why not just wait for Noah to answer your question, instead of getting hung up on my obviously-not-serious response?
josh [email] said at 11:08 AM 02-21-2006: why do i need to wait for noah? if i was asking him exclusively i'd have sent him an email.
thanks for the alexa link, i forgot which site di dthat ranking stuff... so they seem to not be a huge site, so i guess they are just trying to build themselves up. that's all i was asking. the way their press release or whatever was worded, it made it sound like everyone should already know about this contest and about the site, but i had never heard of them.
jake [email] said at 11:11 AM 02-21-2006: They could be really widely known in certain circles, right? My take is that they're pretty popular in their area, but not a widespread thing. Check and see if they've been slashdotted.
But yeah, I think they're self-promotions are hype. The videos from the last competition are pretty funny.
josh [email] said at 11:13 AM 02-21-2006: yeah that's why i wasn't sure - i don't keep up with that many sites so i wanted to know if others had/hadn't heard of this one. i only look at like 6 web sites.
ed [email] said at 8:43 AM 02-22-2006: I read lots and lots of blogs - from personal friends to hugely popular sites like Dooce - and have never heard of this site or this challenge... or the "world famous" winner of last year's contest.
noah [email] said at 11:23 AM 02-21-2006: Josh, urbanhonking is just a site that aggregates a bunch of blogs from a group of friends. Three dudes on there started this silly contest last year that snowballed. It got a decent amount of press even from BBC Radio, but it is just a tight circle out of Portland.
Who knows, it may blow up this time. They're some funny guys.
