I really don't want to do this. First off, I'm not against Anil getting an iPod. That's fine.
But I somewhat feel that it's a case of the rich getting richer. Because of his social status, blogsphere-wise, getting first seems like it's easy. Put a call out to all the readers (me included), and get then to react with links and trackbacks.
I think that this would have been a more effective test of the blogsphere is it was a smaller blog rather such a highly visible blogger.
Good luck Anil. Nigritude Ultramarine probably will be yours.
Hey, wait. Isn't this basically voluntary link-spamming?
