The Launch of Blogstakes
Blogstakes, launched yesterday, is a new kind of sweepstakes, set up with …two winners for every prize: a person who entered and the site that referred the winning entry
, so it turns out everyone’s a winner (where everyone is defined as both the entrant and the referrer!)
There are 2 opening competitions: the first is Free BrowserCam For A Year (this one’s useful for web designers as BrowserCam displays screen grabs from various browser/operating system combinations), and Clip-n-Seal Fresh Party Pack (basically, for those who like to eat!)
Now normally I wouldn’t dream of plugging something like this in such an overtly capitalist style (well it makes me feel like a capitalist :) but luckily, the guy running this seems quite genuine. His name is Brian Alvey, and he’s producer and host of the Meet The Makers series of “behind-the-screens” interviews with creative people working in the technical world, and backend developer at Zeldman’s Happy Cog Studios
C’mon! Is it wrong to want, just a little bit…?
