you're right. if we just make this game about clicking on likes/shares, then it's just a mechanical operation that isn't much fun. but finding articles isn't going to be the only thing that we'll reward. there are at least 2 or 3 other activities that we're going to reward even more than just finding/clicking on articles in the next couple weeks. also, right now, bonuses stick around for 48 hours. but in the near future, bonuses may come and go much more quickly... so i hope that this game will still be fun even if we making "finding" articles easier.

just one note...
when you do that if you are planning to put it on for may be less than 24 hours (may be for 5 hours...or 10 hours),Please make sure that it is suitable time for every one....
It is worldwide game with the participants with different time zones,when a player may be playing, the another player from opposite pole may be in his dreams seeing she has won the contest..lol...(i mean night-sleeping)...so i request you to consider that factor as well
It would be really agonizing to see high points posted 2 hours after player went to bed and when she wakes up in morning she relaizes the point has already expired ....may be during that 7-9 hours sleep period....

Yeah Exactly Frank1 This is what i was about to come...Time Zone Diference is a Big problem for Some people...
I think David Needs to look into that factor...

Hey David!!wanaa know one more thing...Suppose u have come with an article of june2010 with 8 points in bonus page...and lets suppose i had already liked that article during june only?then it will simply not award me points as far as i think?it will show that thumbs up sign and if i click again then it will remove without considering me for 8 points?right??

Although it hasnt happened to me but what about those who already liked it long back?i hope it will award points to them?please check this

@frank and @sandeep, not to worry. this game is indeed global. but most of the players are in either the us or india. so once we start having a bonus with a short deadline, i'll make sure that the time is appropriate for both the us and india. fyi, i'm very familiar with ist because i've had many conversations with people in that timezone.

also, i don't think that you need to worry about having problems with bonus articles that you liked before for 2 reasons. first, most articles had hardly any "likes" before this competition began. second, in the unlikely case that you liked something before the competition began, you can "un-like" it and then "re-like" it one time. the game server will give you points for that.

Providing 4 likes today with no bonuses added and only one new post??any logic or something interesting coming today???
coz these likes will expire tomorrow?

Hi David, What's up? No bonuses for today? I've been refreshing the bonuses page from past 3 hours only to see that the page is not updated yet!!

Hey David Request you to Update bonus Page everyday even if u r not posting any bonuses with the information that no bonuses today or wait till next 12 hours or something like that..Just like ashok mentioned he is refreshing the page past 3 hours its a waste of time waiting for bonus as we dont know if they will be posted today or not....
i hope u will understand.....

Hi sandeep800, thanks for thumbs up...btw you can call me just 'Ashok'. My name is 'Ashok Kadam'

Hello David, it appears to me that we have a typo with the recent bonus treasure titled 'Sentence Correction Pitfalls'. It mentions CR problems rather than SC problems.

Hi All! Sorry about not posting the bonus a couple hours late last night. It was like 3AM CA time when I finally was able to post the bonuses.

I've been working hard on making the leaderboard and also another way to earn points. I think that we'll have a leaderboard + this other method by tomorrow CA time. Keep an eye out for it.

@ashok, I'm OK with you sharing your points. They'll be public anyway when the leaderboard goes up.
