4. This is not directly related to your competetion. However I see that
http://www.wittysparks.com has won some prize
http://www.wittysparks.com/2008/08/01/wittysparks-wins-a-prize-in-trueveo-contest/
Did you know that this website actually works of copied contents? I am also the author of the article
http://www.iwebie.com/indias-2008-beijing-olympics-dreams
The author of this site[ http://www.wittysparks.com/2008/08/09/india-at-beijing-olympics-2008/] actually had the audacity to copy contents from my site. Of course, I have since changed some of the sentences in my blog. But as you can see, the sentences which I have not modified , since the time the contents were copied, appear unchnaged in this spam website.
Even though this is not relevant to your competition, it is really shameful that you have awareded a $50 prize to a website which copies contents from bloggers like myself!
