Randy Charles Morin (a.k.a. iBLOGthere4iM) has decided to spice up the end of summer by running a series of “showdowns” between the top 64 blogs (kind of the NCAA basketball tournament for Web-heads) on the Feedster 500. The idea is you run two blogs against each other every day and whoever gets the most votes from visitors wins. Here's the schedule. While Randy insists it's all for fun, you have to somehow know that ego will raise its ugly head somewhere along the line given all the fuss (Jason Calacanis, et al) recently about the Feedster 500 and the Technorati 100. Anyway, good on Randy for trying something different and perhaps driving people to blogs they haven't checked out before.
