- I will double the above if the industry analyst works for Gartner or Forrester and posts from company blog
- I will pay $25 for every founding member of the agile manifesto if they participate
- I will pay $50 if any of the following bloggers participate
- Michelle Malkin
- Lawrence Lessig
- Merlin Mann
- Steve Rubel
- Robert Scoble
- Dave Winer
- Seth Godin
- David Sifry
- Richard MacManus
- David Weinberger
- Tim Bray
- Nicholas Carr
- Jon Udell
- Editors at CIO or InformationWeek Magazine
- I will pay $75 if James Robertson can write a 100% positive, thoughtful and most importantly detailed response to this blog entry.
- Finally, I will pay $100 if Jonathan Schwartz, CEO of Sun provides amplification
