[Publib] 23 Things on a Shoestring--what to use for rewards/prizes?

[Michael]

Tiffany,

Good things like this can be done within your resources and limitations.
Kudos for the efforts.

As a starting point, see the Webjunction summit on the 23 Things "movement"
held in March, 2009. Some great ideas, links, and more there.
