The contest should be to for people to send you how they plan on using GMAIL. Google should require users who use G-mail to install a piece of software on thier machine. The software will install the awesomely cool googlebar, delete thier spyware, and other dumb copycat toolbar search applications. It should also change thier default search engine from MSN to google.com. Google would then be really cool cause it will make your machine run better, get rid of unwanted software, piss off microsoft, and give people a gig of e-mail!! GOOGLE WOULD ROCK!!! On a side note, I'm a starving poor computer science major who could put a gig of e-mail to very good use! I can speak and sit on command and I'd be very grateful for a gmail account.

As in Bob Johnson would have no chance but Oflu Mazeekee would. Now the downside to this contest is that I'd have no chance at winning, but at least someone who is so far unknown to the Great Google God would get a jump start in the medium.

You could ask guests to guess how many miles are on your car, how many unread e-mail messages you get on a specific day, how many total visitors you've had on your blog, how many poker chips you have in your pocket, how many mp3's you have in your collection, etc. Do a “how many M&M’s are in the jar” contest.

It'll be fun to see how people can rearrange your text to come up with insightful/hilarious responses. (And if you're geek-inclined enough, you can even write an MT plugin to demarkate entries that qualify!) For example, a response to this post could be: "Friday night trackback night! Gmail contest will be fun! Contest run using suggestions. Will my readers be handled until night for this?"

"You" be the judge, the best photo wins the contest. The photo can be taken from a camera on a cell phone or anyway you decide, more like the photos on the photoblogs. Or another idea might be to come up with something neat like maybe a template for the blog or finding out a really useful add-on-module, this will give us some ideas as well on how to improve/modify our blogs.
