I rather spend the $75 on something more useful, like winning a Grammy. No wait, those are junk too.

Slashdot is so-o-o-o 1999!
I think each MeFi member should pitch in 7 cents to submit an entry for Mathowie's masterpiece (or, if we wait until near the submission deadline in October, the growing membership should shrink the price-per down to 2 or 3 cents...) Did somebody say they've found a micropayment system that actually works?

BTW, gsxl, if you want to promote your site, try putting the URL in your MetaFilter profile...
(If anyone cares, OneSwellFoop.com will begin returning to life in a day or two... honest!)

I don't think the Webbys should charge $75, but oh well, that's them. I talked with a guy from the Webby Awards and asked him, he said the $75 is to cover the expenses, and it gives personal sites an equal chance of winning as the big corporate sites, which also have to pay the $75. I dont see any corporate site sending in a check to the Webbys for $75. I dont know, I just cant imagine it. Corporate bastards.

I second the "7 cents for Metafilter" meme.
