Favourite Me for a Good Cause
Posted by Stephen on
March 22, 2007
In order to keep up with my Dot Com Mogul Checklist, I was trying to figure out how to do my charity donation this month. I figured that I might as well, somehow, tie it into my shiny new Technorati ranking. Having been newly unbanned for about a week now, I should probably capitalize on it rather than just sit around and do nothing with it.
Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? I’ve been favourited by FIVE…yes…only FIVE members! That sucks. So this is what I’m going to do about it. If you favourite me, I’ll favourite you. Pretty simple huh? Once you’ve added me to your favourites, leave me a comment here and I’ll add you too.
How Does Charity Work Into This?
Here’s the charity component. The size of my donation to a worthy charity will be based on the number of people that favourite me between now and the end of the month up to $100. Depending on what the response is, I reserve the right to increase this amount over and above the $100.
Eye On The Prize…
To keep everyone going above and beyond a hundred, I’ll also be drawing for a shiny new Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 courtesy of Futurelooks. This is just like the one I gave away during the Top Comment Whore Contest last month. The winner Nick Witkoski has been enjoying his, but will the next one be going to you? Well, you won’t get a chance unless you Favourite Me Now! Don’t forget to leave a comment so that I know to favourite you too. Goodluck! 
I thought I already had you in my favorites but I was wrong, you have been added now though.
Looks like I got both your blogs now. Thanks for being the first dollar and you’re now in the running to win a shiny new mouse
Glad to be the first dollar and I hope to see many more to come. BTW, don’t listen to John and his whining about the default checkbox!
I thought I had favorited you too! Oops! You’re there now!
Thanks Saman. I’ve got you back. Another dollar for charity and another entry for the contest.
You are already in my favorites. However, if I win you can give it to someone else. I get enough free mice as it is.
For the purpose of this contest, I’ll consider this another dollar towards charity anyway, and if you do win, I’ll draw another name for the mouse.
And turn off that damn notifier!
I’ll make my decision on my MONDAY post so quit your whining
Added
Got you back Gary. That’s another buck and another entry
Added
Gotcha. Another buck and an entry. Thanks
I was already one of your original five favorites
Got your back bro!
Thanks Leo. Another buck to charity and an entry
so what charity was this for again?
I usually give to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation or the Vancouver Food Bank. However, I’m open to suggestions.
Well, from time to time, I like to support homeless strippers. With high Vancouver real estate prices and abusive boyfriends, it’s not easy for these poor women to keep a stable room over their heads. I’m just doing my community service and helping those less fortunate than I. I could use some more money for shot glasses.

Yeah, we know you’re dawg
Just added, Stephen.
Thanks Rod. I’ve got you back. Another dollar for charity and another entry for the contest.
Great idea, and all for a good cause! I have favourited you
Thanks for dropping by Martin. You’ve been added to my favourites, another dollar has been dropped into the charity jar, and you’ve got yourself an entry to the draw.
Couldn’t add you before… hard to do when you’re banned! Added you now.
I already have John and Micheal in my favorites, I wonder if I should remove them until they come up with some sort of incentive?
Damn…. that evilness must be affecting me.
Definitely hard to add something that wasn’t there before
I’ve got you back. Another dollar for charity and another entry for the contest
Doesn’t evil “Infect” rather than “Affect”?
I suppose it does. Does that mean they could produce an inoculation?
Yeah, you can stamp them out by giving them each a big hug and a kiss if you see them
You are officially one of my favorites!
Thanks for the add, and your donation. I’ve added you back and you’re in the draw. Goodluck!
I just realized that every one of you is now checking off #8 off the Dot Com Mogul Checklist because your direct participation is affecting this donation to charity
Just added Stephen!
Gotcha Jay. One more entry and one more dollar for charity
Great site…added to the favorites.
You must surpass the “evil” John Chow!
Thanks for dropping by Victor! I got you! One more entry and one more dollar to charity.
Hopefully evil is like POGS. It’ll be fun for a while and then it’ll go away
Great idea Stephen, you have been added!
BTW I might give something like this a shot on my blog, thanks for the idea, and of course I will credit you for it!
Gotcha Shawn! One more entry and one more dollar to charity

Then that should count as another buck from Stephen
Yes, it will count as another buck and another entry because I haven’t added Tyler yet. Done.
Stephen, I just wanted to let you know that you are now a new favorite of mine.
Thanks Nick! Got you back. Another buck for charity and another entry, not that you need another mouse
