Charity Superbowl Wiki... not just for bloggers... Open to everyone now! Go check it out!
Thursday, February 1, 2007 at 08:00PM by Charlie O'Donnell So, I'm a little bit disappointed we couldn't get a meme going out of the Charity Superbowl Wiki, but the momentum has slowed and I'm only up to 40 bloggers. Right now, there's a CSS design post up at the top of the popular list. I guess charity doesn't really get the blog world hot and bothered.
Maybe the combo of the wiki and paypal was a bit too technical for people? I dunno.
So, I figured I could just push for 10, give everyone a free box, and call it a day.. but that would only give 500 bucks to charity.
Instead, I'm going for broke and opening it up to anyone. Still one box per person, but you can now sign up regardless if you have a blog or not.
So, seeing as how there are supposedly 970ish of you out there, I don't think its asking too much that 60 of you contribute a 10 spot to charity.
So, pick a charity, pick a box, and tell others!

one is that it's a wiki - if you've never edited one before it can take some time & effort to figure out, need to spend some time making sense of the thing, etc. i think most big blog memes are more along the line of point, click, post.
another potential issue is the legality of the thing. i know this sounds silly but gambling, even for charity, is likely against the law in some cities, states, and counties. so i can see people being uneasy blogging about this and encouraging people to gamble, and thus potentially breaking the law themselves...
having said that - why one box per person? i'm sure some of your current participants would be willing to spot more than $10 for charity!
