Jakob's contest: On July 14th at 3pm EST, he will randomly choose one del.icio.us user who bookmarked his page, and send him or her this check for $100, no strings attached.
544 people have bookmarked the page so far, and it's the second most popular item on Delicious. If Jake would just add Google AdSense to the page, he'd have a pretty decent business model. 7

Jess Jams said... It's an awesome idea. I wish I had $100 to give away for something like that. 10:07 AM will h said... haha. the check ... memo: delicious challenge 2:32 PM said... Hate to be a buzzkill, but has anybody checked on the legality of this? 2:55 PM said... Totally killed my buzz. What is illegal about giving away free money?! 4:08 PM said... Something about a lottery maybe... just asking. 4:47 PM said... I believe you ask for money to play a lottery. This costs nothing. Great idea. 9:37 PM said... Odds of winning $100 with a $2 instant scratch-off ticket: N.C. Lottery: Between 1 in 6,545 and 1 in 9,000, depending on the game. N.Y. Lottery: Between 1 in 4,941 and 1 in 12,000, depending on the game. (For a $1 ticket with the N.Y. Lottery, the odds are 1 in 3,175 to 1 in 40,970, generally leaning towards the latter.) 9:39 PM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
