iPhone Giveaway from SocialGuides, finale
I hate long speeches. I do insist, however, on thanking everyone who joined, got friends to join, and especially those who continue to use our site and stick with us as we grow from “in the basement” startup to a site that aims to become a part of our everyday lexicon. Okay, long enough…
@asbird is the final winner. He had the most friends join, doing the very social method of recruitment: he went to friends and asked them to join, use the site, and see about going places. Congratulations! (We shall be in touch for details, dude.)
@nicholaspatten did an amazing job, and I want to thank him especially for all his blog posts, Twitter activity, and even working some magic by getting people to donate to charity as they joined SocialGuides using his invite. Nice work, @nicholaspatten.
@Elphaba had a phenomenal run as well, with some of her friends being the more active members of the site overall. Additionally, she is the only one I found with a friend who joined, indicating in their profile that they were “…made to do it.” -laugh- Apparently, @Elphaba is not to be trifled with.
The remaining standings were:
2 quick things in closing. Next up is an Android Giveaway, but before people start conjuring images of C-3PO serving them breakfast & doing their French final (he does speak over 500 languages), I’m talking about the Google Android G1 smart phone. We’re launching an application for that phone, so in the next day or two, we will start a contest for a free giveaway of one those phones. I used to work at Google, so there should be some fun stories for ya as that contest goes on.
Lastly, now that the contest has ended, I would love to know what you thought of the contest - what you disliked, liked, want to see more of? Contact me on SocialGuides by typing a note with @threedukes at the beginning. If you want to send me a lot of information, tell me so on SocialGuides and I’ll send over my email to ya.
I look forward to hearing from everyone, but not before you’ve talking about some places you were at this weekend, on SocialGuides, first.
As always, I am @threedukes.
