Webomatica Contest: Write The 2,000th Comment

May 8th, 2007

Webomatica LOLcats

Yeah it kind of scares me too, but Webomatica is nearing 2,000 approved comments, including trackbacks. I think that’s worth celebrating — as I’m not going to celebrate Akismet blocking spam number 10,000.

I want to encourage friendly comments on this blog, so just continue with business as usual, but whomever leaves comment number 2,000 (meaning, either a trackback or comment on any post of this blog) will get a friendly email from me with a prize — I’m thinking a $20 iTunes gift certificate. That value of $20.00 is similar to comment number 2,000. If it’s okay with the winner, I’ll post some info promoting their blog or website.

So here are the guidelines:

I’m not divulging the number of comments I’m at right now — just know the number is within striking distance and based on the past, I estimate it will be hit sometime today… within the next week or so.

So… plz comment!

  2. David says:

  3. webomatica says:

    Uh… truth be told, I accidentally published this post before I really wanted to, so there’s a ways to go before this hapless blog hits 2000. But thanks for contributing to the cause.

  4. I might not win the prize for the 2,000 comment but I’m already a winner since finding out Jason Calacanis is taking a month off from blogging

    :)

    Ha ha, I saw that about Jason C. too (I think on Twitter). I wonder if someone will use this as an opportunity to re-raise the A list / Z list blogging thing?

  6. that would probably raise him from his 30 day vacation around the world LOL

    Hey — an iTunes gift certificate? I can’t think of a more appropriate prize from you! Keep up the great work and good luck to all who comment. Who will be the magic number 2000?

  11. I love threads like these. :P

  12. webomatica says:

    At this rate the winner looks to be a toss up between a regular reader and a random Joost Invite reqeuster.

  13. […] Jason is running a contest to give a $20 gift card to iTunes to the poster of the 2,000th comment on his site. Using that model, I’m offering $1 to the poster of comment 100 on mine. Have at it. […]

  14. webomatica says:

    Sorry no winners yet… getting closer (obviously).

  15. That will be funny… a Joost invite requester :P

  16. Bryce says:

    It would have been great if I’d won via my trackback. Alas.

  17. webomatica says:

    Man, getting so close… that I think tomorrow sometime someone will win.

  18. […] prize this time is similar to the last contest: $20 Amazon Gift […]
