Via Mike Manuel comes news that Technorati has opened up a contest to guess when the service will reach a mega milestone – tracking one billion links.
Technorati CEO Dave Sifry has the details:
Technorati would like to mark this special event for our members with a “One Billion Links Tracked” contest. Entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, March 29, 2005.
How to participate
- Become a Technorati member.
- Claim your weblog.
- Create a new weblog post complete with one guess for when Technorati will surpass one billion links tracked. Date and time should be San Francisco local time (UTC-8:00).
- Tag your post with Technorati tag “onebillionlinks.”
We will review all entries and declare the winner as the person with the closest guess on or after we track our one-billionth link. If two or more members guess the same winning time the most senior member – the first member to join Technorati – will receive the prize.
And the prize – a 1-gig capacity iPod Shuffle.
Ok, here’s my shot: Wednesday 30 March 2005, 8.54pm San Francisco time.
Hurry – contest closes today!
