Quiz Time 13


Yr Host - Aaman Lamba

Answers have been added to Quiz Time 12 - and the winner is Phillip Winn, with 3 points

Just under the wire of 2005, this quiz has a theme - the blogosphere. All the questions are related in some way to the blogosphere and it's denizens. Are you a question or an answer?

Also, tonight (Jan 1), there is a huge and arbitrary quiz online on a blog hosted by the Karnataka Quiz Association (KQA), the finest Quiz Association in the world, and one of which I have had the honor of being a member, and ranked quizzer, along with my team, "Mustafa and the Fat Bottomed Girls" - the quiz is online from 1500-1800 IST (09:30:00-12:30:00 GMT) - give it a shot, if you like.

Send me your answers by email - aamanlamba at gmail.com

Prize:Once again, whoever gets the most answers right will get a prize mailed him/her from me. Honor system, so no looking up answers from Elgoog, etc.

2. What did the following people start: Evan Williams, Paul Bausch, and Meg Hourihan?

3. What immortal phrase did Sam Sugar coin in his article "How to Make Money Podcasting if You’re Not Adam Curry"? (I'll accept small variants of the term)

6. Which blogging service allows users to add eProps to other users' blog entries, to encourage comments?

Some of our maids sitting up late last night to get things ready against our feast today, Jane called up about three in the morning, to tell us of a great fire they saw in the City. So I rose, and slipped on my night-gown and went to her window, and thought it to be on the back side of Mark Lane at the farthest; but, being unused to such fires as followed, I thought it far enough off, and so went to bed again, and to sleep. . . . By and by Jane comes and tells me that she hears that above 300 houses have been burned down tonight by the fire we saw

    I have a question of my own:

    How greatly would it piss off PW if I said I prefer this layout to the new one?

    Not too many people have sent in their answers to this easy quiz yet - EricOlsen should look closely at at least one question;)

    I'm still rather ashamed at my one answer...I missed! I missed! I missed the easiest one of the bunch!

    I think my score would be a zero. Which is cool, given my thoughts about the blogospheriverse.
