Favourite Me for One More Week For Charity
Posted by Stephen on
March 31, 2007
As part of my Dot Com Mogul Checklist this month, I set out to raise $100 for charity and help a bunch of Dot Com Mogul Wannabes by giving them the opportunity to give to charity and knock Number Eight off the Dot Com Mogul Checklist as well. I also wanted to solidify my position on Technorati after being unbanned.
Although we only raised a total of $24, I’d like to thank those Dot Com Mogul Wannabes that stepped up by Favouriting Me with a free backlink to their blogs:
- My New Choice
- Saman Sadeghi
- The Root of All Evil
- BlueFur
- Michael Kwan
- Leo Chiang
- Rod Templeton
- Martin Reed
- Amateur Geek
- Nathan Drach
- Jay Profeit
- City Guide
- Shawn Knight
- Tyler Ingram
- Nick Witkoski
- Jon Lee
- Calvin Harvey
- Ms. Danielle
- Can’t Coach That
- Mr. Gary Lee
- Simple Informations
- My Satellite Tracking Blog
- Think Referrals
- WCB Digest
Since $24 is a pretty sad amount smaller than our target, and I hate missing a target, this is what we’re going to do.
In order to reach $100, I’m going to extend the draw for the mouse above, a Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000 courtesy of Futurelooks, till April 10th, so you’ve got until then to favourite me so I can favourite you for charity. It’s a great mouse. Just ask our Top Comment Whore for February.
As an added incentive, if you make mention of this contest on your blog, I’ll give you that backlink that you missed out on for not being one of the first twenty four keeners. Yes, the first twenty four keeners can double dip. So get to it! Earn a backlink, give to charity, and have me favourite you by Favouriting Me.
Crap, I thought I already favorited you. I guess it got deleted when you got banned.
I double checked and got you back.
Ah, too bad you didn’t get it the first time, but hey, $24.00 is a start!
BTW, count me in once again:

Good luck man!
Thanks Shawn. I’ll post that for you when I get a few more
im gonna make a link to you in a speedlinking post in a day i think, even though i think i would have few if any readers that are different from yours.
Very cool. Make sure you post the link here so that I know about it in case the PingBack doesn’t work.
Just wanted to be the first to comment on your blog for April
Carry on . . .
Such a cheater…
You may have won march, but im back for april leo
Should be an interesting battle this month for the top spot…
Stephen, thanks for the link and I will have a post up soon about your contest and a special announcement.
Thanks Derek. Got it. You really stepped up
No problem. Happy to do my part to help out where I can.
Lol, good luck. I’ll be working lots so unless I get a laptop I’m screwed.
actually, its getting to be crunch time in school so to tell the truth i dont know how much time i will have either.
I was going to do this the first time around, but I forgot.. Good thing you wrote about it again. I hope you reach your $100 goal for your charity ! Good luck !
Thanks Aniela! I got you favourited. It looks like I’m your very first favourite
Yay $24 is more than than I could raise!
Ok so we’re in march now huh and we’ve already got the lead on the post whores?
Tyler, we’re in April now.
Let the comment whoring begin!
Yup, new month and i had the honor of starting it off
Thats because you probably waited for the clock to hit midnight, im not in the same time zone as you guys no fair.
I won the month of March and I got nothing
Umm… Lingerie… Models… Bus…
Wish I had come across your site earlier to participate with the charity… but better late than never right?!
You got added. Like your idea… will be speedlinking you soon.
Thanks Kelly! Got you back
I’ll definitely mention you in a post some time this week. I’m surprised that you’ve only gotten 24 Technorati users to bite.
Me too! Well, hopefully we can make a nice fat donation this month with the additional exposure. Thanks Michael.
Why didnt you try something like John chow…Any way I am happy that you are donating for charity..
I prefer to do my own thing and not follow others
How could I resist? Hope the money is spent well!
Blogged as well: http://www.techzi.net/articles/2007/04/02/techzi-competition-results/
Thanks David! I’ve got you hooked up with a favourite and I’ll be adding your llink to the Favourite Me for Charity Linkage Post
Ok, made a technorati account just for this. Now at 35 faves, counting mine.
Thanks Carl. I’ve got you
Thanks for the back link, Stephen. It’s a good cause, so I’ll add a mention on my blog later today.
Did notice one weird thing though, you’ve gotten split in two at Technorati. I favorited Stephen Fung DOT NET | The Personal Yakkety Yakking of a Dot Com Guy, but the back link you gave in this post is attributed to a different blog called Upgrade Immediately to WordPress 2.1.2! | Stephen Fung DOT NET
Really? Hmm… That’s weird. As long as you can favourite, it should be OK. Must be some mess left behind from all that Technorati Banning crap that happened.
You’re in my favorites now
Thanks Hannes! Got you back
