It was a fight to the finish as the top 3 commenters battled it out to see who would walk away with $50 and copy of Tim Ferriss’s Book The Four Hour Work Week. Here is how it breaks down:

Winners

  1. BM (422)
  2. Sherry (416)
  3. Wiehanne (328)

Prizes

  1. $50 and Tim Ferriss’s book
  2. $30
  3. $20

I was originally only going to give the Top Commenter a prize, but since these three were so far ahead of anyone else I offered a 2nd and 3rd place prize as well. I am glad they didn’t collaborate to stop on an exact number and all win the $50 (that would have been evil :) ). All in all there were 1411 comments for the month and I feel that is a success and definitely a new record for my blog. Thank you everyone.

The RSS subscriber that was chosen by Random.org was Doug Labrosse. There were 162 possible winners because you had to be subscribed by email to either my newsletter or RSS feed. The number chosen was 96.

Overall the contest was a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting 100 emails in my inbox from all the new comments some mornings. I also learned not to hold a contest that ends on the day you have to move out of one place and into another. Sorry for any confusion to the commenters who were frantically trying to figure out who won. I still don’t have Internet at my new place and have to work from my remote office at Dunn Bros. Coffee in Fargo (if you are around swing by I might be here).
