Fastweb Scholarship

Let's be honest, how many of you users are here because the progressive scholarship was listed on fastweb.com?  I know I am.

Ever, has a past "fastwebber" been the one to win?  It seems impossible - someone with perhaps three weeks worth of posts beating one posting for 1-2 years.

Although I am a "fastwebber,"  I still do try to turn out quality content.  Like many of the users on this site, I am interested in current events (I listen to NPR everyday and read TIME weekly).  But are there users that don't and just write blogs on..well..nothing? 

Furthermore, it seems like a lot of posts are very polarized.  It's all or nothing.  I won't cite any examples (that always seems to open up a large can of worms),

Are you a fastwebber?  If not, what do you think of them?  Good way to enlarge the pool, or annoying teeny boppers?

well its a little disheartening because at this point it seems like you can't really win. how are these people getting so many reads. I'm going to continue though because I like blogging and you never know how things could turn out.

I learned about if off of fastweb, but it was right after the contest started, so I had a lot better chance, but I do not even think I am going to win even though I am the featured blogger. I do not know how other users are getting so many reads. I think they hare having their friends read it or something.

N00bs who post about nonsense annoy me. With a passion.

Even so, the best thing is to focus on your own posts/comments and ignore nonsensical posters.
