Answer Wiki:
<b>I believe the contest should be quantitative and measurable in regards to sales?
For instance as an expert replies to a question, and it leads directly to a Solution - and preferrably a SALE. That will show real value, and results too!</b>
Bob VL
but how to measure it - objectively (not subjectively)?

Sales is not always applicable, methinks.

I think an interesting contest could be one where the poster who posts the question which generates the most “useful” comments or replies gets rewarded.
Basically allowing the user base to decide which questions are the best based on the number of comments which go with the question.
1. a monthly random draw for bloggers.
2. best question of the week
3. best answer of the week
4. best blog of the week
The data center stories were good. Thanks for sharing.
How about best or worst use of consumer electronics to solve a business issue?
Best story of user to user support where IT was not involved.
How about selecting a number of “best” answers each week, and reward the member (or members) with more best answers during the month ?
The problem is how to select those best answers… An answer may seem to be the best, but if it does not help the asker, it’s not good. So, one of the judges should be the member who asked the question.
Some interesting ideas. Keep em coming. We will launch something mid month

How about if the recepient of an answer nominates the provider of the answer based on the value of the answer. Then the ITKE judges can select a winner from the nominees. Could be done once a month or so.
