Billions With Zero Knowledge

Go make a wish today - it’s already paid for. We have 3,600 wishes sponsored.

The Prize for the 1st Sponsor of the Million Dollar Blog Post ….

Goes to my good friend Andy Nulman. He graciously donated $1,100 dollars to charity and sponsored 1,100 of your wishes.

If you know Andy or read his blog, take him up on it and go make a wish right now. Let him know you used one of his wishes and thank him by linking back to his copy of his donation.

Thanks Andy. You win the first sponsor prize and although the Million Dollars in this case is going to charity, you’ve earned your place in history at Sponsor #1 for this project.

The Prize for the 1st to Blog About the Million Dollar Blog Post…

Goes to my friend and Librivox Mayor (see this post to understand) Hugh McGuire. Hugh and I are involved in a number of great discussions involving how open communities operate. I’m learning more from him, then he is from me I think. Hugh has earned his place in history twice that I know of. The first as the founder of the great Librivox project (Check out their offering of free audiobooks now!). He is also going down in history as the first person to blog about the Million Dollar Blog Post.

The Prize for the 1st to Reporter to Write About the Million Dollar Blog Post…

This goes to long time reporter, Maple Leaf 2.0 blogger and current VP Operations at B5 Media - our friend, Mark Evans. Mark wrote this post about our project on the his Maple Leaf 2.0 website.

Now, some may say that Mark is no longer a reporter. They might argue he should be in some different class as a professional blogger and entrepreneur at a blog network now. Here’s how I’m treating this. Mark is free to pass this torch and award to the next reporter to cover the story if he so chooses. He then will have the freedom to to define his own 1st prize category in which I will award him first prize to recognize his post. This is a chance for his Mesh co-organizer Mathew Ingram to try and wrestle the title from him. (Or any other reporter who wants to try to negotiate with Mark for this title.

Thank you all for your support of this idea. I will be awarding a few other 1st prizes in the coming days. I will also be providing a round up of our early supporters when we document how the project developed. If you’d like to get behind a good cause, or your interested in the opportunity for Internet fame - please help us spread the word.

If you have a blog, then please write about it.

You can also get involved as a sponsor if you’d like.

The best way to help though is to go make a wish at the Million Dollar Blog Post. Please take a moment to make a wish. It’s doesn’t take any effort and you’ll be responsible for $1 going to charity. We need your wishes to make this project succeed.

Make your wish and invite your friends to do the same.
