Recently I came across an interesting web business model in whogets.com. This site has people compete for online prizes. Essentially, you pick an item you like, join the contest, and write why you should get this prize. Users vote and the person with the most votes overall (though semi-finals and finals) wins. The prizes range from DVDs to flat screen LCDs.

The FAQ repeatedly says they won’t spam you or disclose your private information. It looks as though they’re trying to monetize through ads and through a “buy-now” button on their contests. It’s certainly an interesting business model, heck, it could even be fun. We’ll follow whogets.com trajectory with interest.
