Node Knockout with http://blitz.io

Node Knockout with blitz.io

We are super excited about sponsoring Node Knockout and have something fun planned:

http://blitz.io/events/nodeknockout

At the start of the event, we are planning on providing all contestants with enough blitz-power so you can generate lots of hits against your cool node.js app for 48 hours. We are also working on a scoreboard so you get bragging rights on the app with the most number of hits. Watch that page at the start of the event and you'll know what to do.

To build cool node.js apps is awesome, to watch it scale out? priceless!

Just my $0.02, I think this needs to be more of a "how to / why to" format.

The first part is almost there, but you need to do a better job showing people how it works. What do they have to do to get it set-up? What does the leaderboard look like? Why would I care when I have 100 other things to do in 48 hours... you need to convince me that it's super simple and super fun.

The continuous integration part doesn't make any sense to me. Why would you use blitz as part of CI? How do you use it? Show how the node.js client implementation works, don't just point people to a link.
