The $1000 and 2 months is comparable to the $5 and 2 hours thread (not mathematically) - forcing creativity and resourcefulness. Will be interesting to see how this manifests? (FYI: I am involved as a trustee).

Endless curiosity is important to avoid stagnation. However, there is still a difficult decision surrounding focus to be made when the "snowflake" is discovered. How do you decide when to turn off the exploration noise for a few months an

$50K would be nice. I would probably create an alter-identity and enter myself.

They have been promoting to their respective networks, but I like the idea of a community project. Makes "judging" for prizes more difficult but would rather have collaboration than winning. Thanks.

A main reason I plan to stay with Google is the ability to avoid visiting sites themselves unless I want to participate. For some reason constantly leaving and returning for information is not conducive for optimal consumption. Different in

I use periodically when I am logged into CoTweet or TweetDeck and they are buried. Also, think the homepage has value for first time users (yes, they still exist) to understand how the site functions. Type in a topic and understand "Oh,

Liked the idea of starting with several hundred popular profiles (with the ability to submit your own for review). If I was a model or celeb using Twitter, I could see Hot Tweeter being a method for building an audience with teenagers.

Another reason why users should leave Twitter and migrate to other services like Pownce. Suprisingly, the author of this post is a staff member of Pownce :) I noticed an appropriate tweet summarizes this debate: "biz: Yesterday pizza was s

Agreed about "TC spam" - but I still am led to click on the links by an uncontrollable force :) The lapse time is particularly frustrating when using Twitter for Q&A or ad hoc discussions. These are exercises in which I expect quick an
