Do Me A Favor?

Wait, let me give you something worth reading first.

This week I posted what I called the World’s Easiest Ice Cream Recipe. Just do frozen banana in a food processor until it turns creamy. (Sounds too simple to work. Sounds like it won’t taste good. Wrong and wrong.)

Well, this thing got picked up and has been around the internet and back. I’m seeing Tweets and visits from the Far East, to Down Under, to Up Over and Across. This thing is everywhere.

But of all the people passing on the link, there is one that stands out above the rest. One tweet that I’ll be keeping for posterity.

Annnnnd … now for that favor

FastCompany is running an experiment to identify the most influential people on the internet. They’ve got a really simple way to figure it out: Whoever can get the most people to click their link before the experiment is over.

Here’s my link.

Take five seconds out of your day and click here. Let’s see if I can beat the “celebrity” chefs. Just one click is all it takes.

And hey, if you sign up for the contest yourself after clicking my link, that’s cool too. Send me your link and I’ll click on it for you.

Click it.

You know you want to.

All the cool kids are doing it.

    It wasn’t easy to click with my arm twisted like that but I did it. That was pretty neat, the way the page moved around to show the people in the contest. Uh, if making me dizzy equates to neat is what I mean.

    Good luck in the contest.

    On a side note, did you know there’s a typo just below this comment box? “Subscribe to coments on this post”

    Yeah, that does make you dizzy, doesn’t it?

    Hmm, something must be cached somewhere, because I fixed that typo about two weeks ago. I’ll have to look into that. Are you still seeing it wrong?
