    2. Thank you Mark for having this competition. It was a good way to learn more about different topics and an excellent way to improve our writing and form of expression. Congratulations Pi, for such an excellent essay, and congratulations Ronald, for writing an amazing piece.

    3. First of all, thank you Matt, for conducting such a contest. We all learned a lot of things from it. I participated in the contest with my article “Blogging is karma” but didn’t get anything.

      Anyway, your decision is nearly perfect because “Rethinking Weblog Advertising” was really really great and the second prize winner also deserved this. Congratulations PI and Bes Zain !! :)

      I still disagree with what Ronald has written about. Its completely against what I believe (blogging is karma). But, dude, you did a good job at putting a bait for traffic. That deserves a big clap. So, kudos friends !! And, a special for you, Matt, ma’ man. :)
