I am looking forward to this because I was at the center of the conspiracy

Unfortunately much of the information has been lost over time, but a good portion is still available on the WayBack Machine. It is a doozy of a story however, however 150 words might not cut it.

Briggs– So, will plausibility mean positive or negative points?

I had to look this up: “A link whore is one who solicits links to her blog regularly or seems/is desperate to receive links to her blog.”

Actually, however, I was trying to read Digg.com for the past few months, and had to give up because every other link was something like “George Bush to be Impeached!!!” or “Obama has miracle cancer cure!!!” or “Global Warming blamed on Right Wing Conspiracy” or some such nonsense. So I thought I would try to come up with the best conspiracy.

This will save a lot of people a lot of time, and free the internet from nonsense for all time.

A buck? Sure.

A link? Regroup.

Like the header. Like the concept.

Rest assured, I meant it as a compliment. Now I need to think of the best conspiracy theory.

In the tradition of link-whore contests, you should get an artistic friend to make a cute icon that contestants can post on their blog to announce they entered. Then, you can make another one they can post if they win.

Lucia — I hadn’t heard the term “link whore” before, but, sure, hell yes. I’ll do most things for a buck.
