Hey Alex,

Great way to support and motivate the community!

Thanks also for being an active part of this and sharing the list with your readers!

Talk to you soon!

You are the man, Alex! DHV 4 Life!

Fantastic and very generous idea Alex! Thanks for setting it up.

A great motivating idea, Alex. Thanks for sharing the list.
Good luck.

Great idea…sounds like fun!

Yup - it is a great list.

I just wish my name was Aaron some I was first in the list. Respect to anyone who makes it down to “P” for Peter.

Cool… any contest involving an ipod shuffle is definitely a good way to generate backlinks and traffic =)

I bet you’re going to have all kinds of people crawl out of the woodwork for this one…

Adam,

I’m not going to lie, I had the same reaction as you did at first. Than it hit me, why wouldn’t I contribute to spreading awareness about the environment?

I just decided to use my power and influence for good

I just arrived here by following back a referral to my site so someone made it as far down the list as S. There’s hope for you, Peter! (And I’ll just go and have a look at your site too.) Thanks for spreading the list, Alex!

Thanks for the nod, Alex! Great idea!

Awesome contest!

Great! I’m in. I will also pot this blog contest on my blog!

What a self-made and eclectic network of bloggers.

What a great idea Alex, you always seem to find a way to make things better than they already are. Thank you!

This is a great contest!
Do you ship overseas?

You bet Luciano.

I’m really honoured to be part of this gigantic list!

And I wouldn’t mind a free Ipod.

Hey Alex,

Count me in for this one. I’ve also commented on the “secret” post mentioned in your feed. And i’ve blogged about this here : http://myblogcontests.com/2007/09/14/an-ipod-shuffle-from-alex-shalman/

I suggest that you fix a deadline for this.

Here’s a link to an article I just posted about this here. Thanks again!

I reply thusly.

Thanks for the mention, Alex! I appreciate it. Good luck with the contest!

Great idea. I’m in! And thanks for putting up this list. It is always nice to see my site listed somewhere.

Fantastic idea, thanks Alex.

Dear Alex,

I am very happy to see that you are working your efforts to spread the word of personal growth, sometimes we do need to use the free giveaway trick to make people wake up…. that is how the universe works and there is nothing to be ashamed of… most of the people notice that they are in control of their lifes when something really bad happens so better off noticing by winning an Ipod

This is heart-warming idea and encourages readers to discover a wealth of personal development blogs. Thanks for your inspiring ideas. Keep up the great blogging!

And thanks for linking!

Awesome idea. Gah, I want to copy it, but that would be lame. Need to turn on the creativity center.

Thanks very much for including me - much obliged!

Nice to read your blog

Alex,

Just wanted to clarify publicly that my own contest for an iPod was in no way meant to step on your toes! In fact, I had forgotten all about your contest until you reminded me.

It just so happens that your contest coincided with the site launch of PDP, so our contests to win an iPod ended up on the ‘net at the same time.

I’ll pop a link to this post into one of my upcoming posts (probably Saturday’s), and that way some more people will become aware of your awesome contest, too.

Keep up the great work with this site, Alex, and as always, let me know how I can help you out!

Aaron,

I would never assume such a thing. I’ll be posting about your contest on Sunday as well. Good luck

I know it, Alex! You and I have spent enough time corresponding via email that we know each other pretty well.

I just wanted to make sure that the public at large also knows how much I respect you, and how much I endorse your efforts hear at AlexShalman.com!

Hah, you’re funny. Thank you very much for your endorsement

Wow that is one big list of personal development sites. Great contest, Alex, I look forward to checking some of these blogs out for info on Personal development.

Here is my comment on your blog.
I joined your RSS feed, and subscribed to your free newsletter. And here is my blog post about your contest: http://internationalfreebies.blogspot.com/2007/09/blog-contest-free-ipod-shuffle.html

I guess I should just win now!

Good luck to everyone. I hope you are announcing the winner shortly after the deadline, unlike many other blog contest.
