And the winner is....

The above is a scan of the newspaper article that appeared in several local newspapers. Click on it to read full size. We get the Newport Plain Talk, so I have that article, but am told that it also appeared in the Greenville Sun, the Morristown Citizens Tribune and the Knoxville News Sentinel. Just a few of the others who have covered the contest include Microsoft, MSNBC (I've received e-mails from MSN users who said they read about us on their home page news), Yahoo, WebWire, MoneyCentral, MSN Money, PRNewswire and of course StartupNation.

We were notified on November 5th that we had placed 6th in StartupNation's Home Based Top 100 contest, under the "Boomers Back in Business" category. While there are no cash or goods prizes, the advertising alone is worth the effort of entry.

Normally, when I check in on our web site during the day we show 10 to 20 guests on line. Yesterday we were showing 120 to 140 guests (and ocasionally a member) online at any given time, all day long! This morning we're back to normal, showing 19 as I write this... oop, it just went up to 22.

They say it pays to advertise, especially when it's free!

You may click the winner emblem above to go to our winner blurb on the StartupNation web site. From there you can read about other winners as well as details of how the winners were selected. One of the determining factors in this contest was public voting, and so we must thank those of you, our friends and readers, who took the trouble to vote for us.

Thank You!
