$50 for best comment (POLL & "shameless blog pimping")

Sat Feb 16, 2008 at 11:57:58 AM PDT

It's 50% social experiment, 50% outright bribe, and maybe... $50 in your pocket if you can come up with the best comment.

As many of you know from my shameless DK text ad, I recently started a new blog, BareNaked Pundits.  Nothing too ambitious, just a fun way to vent at the end of the day.  

So far, the traffic has been nice (and thanks to all who've sent advice and kind words), and I've been having fun.  But I want more comments.  Specifically, I want more fun, creative, provocative comments... It makes  it more fun for me, and more fun for the readers. And frankly, I kind of like the idea of figuring a way to compensate those who contribute creativity via comments.

So here's the deal -- on March 1st, BareNaked Pundits will officially award $50 to the "best" comment made on that site during the month of February.  

Full details on the site

Oh, and I'd welcome any thoughts people have on this.  If it goes well, we might continue and expand this in the months ahead.  And if it's a dumb-ass idea and a failure... well, we won't.   :)
