Change the city in your live header and make them guess which city it is.

How about a photo scavenger hunt, maybe with Flickr. Create a group, then once a week pick, say, 5-10 things to photograph. The first one to do them all wins, or maybe make it artistic and pick the set you like the best.

The nice thing with that is it’d be fun for everyone, not just the winner.

I think you could do something creative with your “currently reading” column. Perhaps you could say the first person that comes up with the common category or common theme among a list of twenty links wins.

You could also maKe it subtle, for example: a list of links containing a story about flickr and a story about livejournal would be about mergers/buyouts, that sort of thing.

How about best publicity stunt? ;O) Whoever gets your blog the most publicity wins (preferably a screenshot on national tv news) :O)

Howabout the most creative “shuffle”?

I personally am able to shuffle cards, my feet/shoes, songs (in iTunes of course)..

ok, maybe that’s not such a great idea – i’m at a loss after 3 suggestions… ;-)

Ok, another idea (this one is a little weird).

The most creative url’s that the first letter of each spell out the words “iPod Shuffle”. Each url has to have something to do with the iPod shuffle of course.

Ok, i’ve had too much red wine – feel free to delete this comment..

How about picking some (slightly less than) random site that can be reached by following links from your site and then asking everyone to tell you the correct path to get there.

A sort of treasure hunt via hyperlinks if you will.

I can't think of any novel internet use, but limericks would be better than haiku's. More words, more fun.

How about giving them away to the person who can most convince you that they don’t “get” Ipods?

If someone really doesn’t see why Ipods are so great, or really isn’t feeling the whole shuffle concept then perhaps they need one so they can find out.

People who actually want one can go out and buy one easily enough, but people who don’t want to buy one maybe just need the opportunity to try. If they don’t like it they could always send it back again.

How about giving it to the best giver? So, the guy who delivers the most valuable tip/trick/photo/resource/software theme/insert_anything_here to community in given period, gets the prize.

A few ideas:

Post up 5 completely random and unrelated photos. Whoever comes up with the best short story (under 150 words?) utilizing all of the photos wins.

Same idea as above, but different! — Post up 5 pictures. Using google, and google images, we have to find a picture that contains all of those images(or elements of each image) in one. Tie goes to the person who comes up with the most interesting image (Of course no photoshopping or personal photographs allowed — URL’s to the image would have to be provided)

Caption games. You post up an unusual photo, and whoever comes up with the most interesting/funny caption wins.

Make people find images of for example cities whose first letters make up your name, shuffle or something else and then judge it byt the weidest cities, finest images or something like that combined.
