Big news today – Steve Poland of the Techquilia Shots blog annouced that he’s starting a new venture called “Ringside Startup“. He’ll be taking one of his ideas from his blog (which was the inspiration for this site) and developing it into a fully-functioning web startup.
I personally think it’s a fantastic idea. To help him raise the necessary funds to get started, I’m going to change the prize for this week’s ”Find the Fake” contest – the winner will get a $50-level sponsership in his/her name which can be used to plug a website, send a message, whatever you choose.
A quick note: for legal reasons I’ll actually be the one making the donation and posting the sponsership, but I’ll ask the winner for suggestions of what name/domain and message to post. I know, it’s stupid, but gotta play by the rules, eh?
I’d definitely encourage you to check out the site and if you’ve got the extra cash, throw a little in Steve’s direction. Think of it as tuition into a really interesting college course – Ideapreneuring 101.

I think I need the prize:D
I would like to donate but I’m here overseas far far away…can’t fill out all the columns required by Ringside’s paypal bill info.
