I’d seen these a while back, but not for some time now. They used to do this as advertising promotions “back in the day”.

I’ve come up with something. I think it should link back to Rachel’s blog, where she could keep a list of participants somewhere.

Here’s how it works … in a comment, or in a blog post, you can place a piece of text.

For example:

Roll your mouse over **this piece of text**

I’d take part in a heartbeat. A kind of treasure hunt could be an interesting way of propagating ideas across blogs, too. This is the kind of playful experimentation that can result in useful tools down the road, too. I’m thinking of Where’s George site, which began as a novelty site for tracking the movement of dollar bills “just for fun” and ended up as a tool in the hands of epidemiologists. I think playing with toys is a great way to create space for innovation.

That sounds really cool! Something akin to NotPron perhaps, in that there could even be clues cleverly hidden in the source/template? Heh. I’d do it.
