Today on Pronet I added a social stock prediction widget to the sidebar. I usually like to keep the design clean, but for roughly 2 weeks there will be a widget on the site that allows you to predict stock prices for Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Interactive Corp, and News Corp. Whoever has the highest score at the end of 2 weeks will be given a free video iPod from Jambaz (the creators of the widget).
Have fun playing the game, and on a side note do you guys want me to do more contests like this? People offer me Nintendos, PlayStations, iPods, laptops and other nifty things, but I usually just don’t accept them because I have no use for them.

I think it will be a good way to reward our loyal readers. I vote for more contests (:
Heh. I saw that earlier today and my initial reaction was a “What the…?”; I wasn’t all that keen on it.
Having said that, if people are OFFERING you this stuff and you have no use for it… well, who am I to say no to opportunities of winning wonderful goodies? :P
Can’t go wrong with contests. Your regular readers like yours truly will love it and spread the word to more people, and it’s a good way to get free press. And that’s just cool
Hey, yeah I’m new to the site, and I think things like the StockMarket game are awesome for attracting new readers – you’ve definitely got me hooked!
Please, please, please do more contests like these especially if you get a Wii. The Wii is the only way i’ll go to the gym.
Very interesting tool and a great contest – that ipod’s gonna look sweet on my belt clip.
Hell Yeah, MORE CONTESTS!!!Hook Your Readers up Maaang!
