Someone walked up to me and asked me to write any word down on a piece of paper .. i wrote swamble. Later in the night these guys took the stage to do some freestyle .. and they pulled swamble out of the hat!

Apparently, we announced Swamble a bit too loud during our private beta and, thus, acted a little less than private so we will not be included in the final 20 of the TechCrunch20. It’s kind of a bummer to not be in the top 20 but, we will be at the conference in the demo pit. If you are going to be there, stop on by and say hello!

Yesterday, Mike Arrington wrote an article about Swamble over at TechCrunch. Thanks for the coverage Mike, we greatly appreciate it. In the last 36 hours or so, a couple hundred of the loyal TC readers have requested invites to swamble.

I created a poll on facebook last night for a couple reasons.

• I wanted to see how the app worked
• I’m doing some market research on facebook users.

The poll application is the fastest way to gather demographic statistics I have ever seen. What topped it off was the real time updating of the statistics while the poll was going on. Here are the results…

How often do you make friendly bets with friends?
Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly or never.

Audience: Age 18-24 Male and Female
Responses: 200
Total Cost: $21.00

Well worth it. AND it has convinced me to build a facebook app for swamble. We’ll be blogin the whole way through this adventure .. so stick around and start swamblin! Register Here.

If this were Young Joc, I’d probably be in Hotlanta, talking about Nitty beats, the new J’s on my feet, patron and getting like me but, we all know that is is Scott, aka scottalk from Swamble, talking about me and G, doing the damn thang with Swamble, Swambles, and Swamblers (and meeting us in Swamble Town, it’s going down!).

This ain’t White Men Can’t Jump so, we ain’t goin’ Sizzler, this is Swamble and I’m goin’ Ruth’s Chris! In case you haven’t browsed the latest Swambles yet, let me inform you that I have won another friendly match of fun, games and competition (Swamble!). That’s right, and I am not talking about the massage that I won last week from my darling, I am talking about the dinner at Ruth’s Chris that I won after Tom (aka chef) challenged me to a Swamble.

Tom, who is from Minnesota and living in Las Vegas, NV, stated that Ruth’s Chris originated in Minnesota. Now, me, being the good old boy from the southern region of New Orleans, LA, had to disagree because I know that the first Ruth’s Chris is located on Broad Street in New Orleans. Well, Tom had to see for himself and, now, thanks to Swamble, I will be eating good (real good to be exact) soon enough.

When Scott Wiese predicted that the Bears would defeat the Colts, he put his name where his mouth was and signed his former existence as Scott Wiese away. At a bar, in front of a crowd, Scott agreed (on paper) to change his name to Peyton Manning if the Colts defeated his beloved Bears. Unfortunately, for the man formerly known as Scott Wiese, a 29 to 17 victory over the Bears allowed Peyton Manning’s Colts to make history on the field in Miami, Florida and off of the field in Forsyth, Illinois.

To keep up his end of the bargain and thus, a reputable status, Scott Wiese arrived at the Macon County Courts Facility on Tuesday to request his name change. Wiese will now have to publicize his desire to alter his name in the local newspaper before a judge can grant him the permission to use Peyton Manning as his title. Sure, he may not be a millionaire, 6′5″ NFL QB but, this soon to be Peyton Manning will definitely gain more attention than your average die-hard Bears fan.
