He asked me what is this site I keep sneaking into even in office in those five minute breaks. Being an excited electron myself, I explained him all about this exciting contest and all that's going on.<br /><br />HE: So this guy Jason, himself handles the posting and judging?<br /><br />ME: Posting yes. He has co-hosts at times. But they both read and comment all stories and judge them separately.<br /><br />HE: He passes comment on all of them?<br /><br />ME: Yup.<br /><br />HE: Are there prizes?<br /><br />ME: Yup.. (I give him the loot details)<br /><br />HE: And who sponsors the prizes?<br /><br />ME: He does.<br /><br />HE: He must be earning a lot through his blog.<br /><br />ME: As far as I know. He doesn't. I don't see any adds on his blog.<br /><br />HE: So he takes the pains of hosting, posting, judging and even gives prizes and doesn't even get paid.
