Here's a new site where you can win prizes for playing (pretty easy) games; Live Search Club.

 

 

In a funny coincidence, I saw this on Venkat Narayanan's blog.  Venkat was one of the (three) original members of the Start.com team, along with Steve Rider and Sanaz Ahari.

Right now it may not seem like it, but it certainly does not look like just a marketing campaign to me.
