You know the show Iron Chef? Someone should organize Iron Blogger. You are the chairman, you assemble your Iron Bloggers, and each week you invite a challenger blogger. The “secret ingredient” is a topic for the challenger and his chosen Iron Blogger to write about. You appoint judges to evaluate the writing according to content, style, and originality.

Considering that most bloggers do this part of their job for free (or nearly free, I suppose the major ones make revenue off of ads and Amazon links), I gotta say it’s going to be awfully difficult to profit off of this idea. It would be a good way to start a conversation, but then again the most interesting memes (such as, for example, a top ten book list) seem to start virally anyway.
