    Win Intercontintntal Dubai Prizes - ends 8/09

    From Thursday 7th May, InterContinental Dubai Festival City will begin a summer of amazing prize giveaways, launching the first treasure hunt in Dubai to be directed by Twitter alerts.

    Every second Thursday until the 13th August 2009, the hotel will place a series of ‘Keast Tweets’ on its Twitter profile informing the followers of the location and time where they can collect their stunning gift from InterContinental’s Chief Concierge, Adam Keast. The locations will change, however they will always be near an accessible Dubai landmark. Followers will have to stay poised for the ‘Keast Tweet’ alerts, which will be posted once a fortnight for 16 weeks, to learn where and when the fastest person may claim each of the prizes.

    Prizes are promised to be extremely attractive, ranging from a stay in the Presidential Suite complete with dinner at the fine dining, award winning restaurant ‘Reflets par Pierre Gagnaire’, to spa treatments and helicopter tour packages. The contents of each prize will be announced to all Twitter followers of the hotel, before the ‘Keast Tweet’ clue as to the whereabouts is revealed.
    This will be one of the largest ever giveaways over Twitter, the modern and highly publicised social network medium, but one which the hotel are confident will become extremely popular in Dubai. Since the start of 2009, InterContinental along with its sister hotel Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City have taken advantage of social network media such as Twitter and Facebook as a method of communicating directly with current and potential customers, and offering exclusive online deals. Recently, the hotels also gave away free room nights to whomever of their Twitter followers were the first to reply at a certain time.

    The ‘Keast Tweets’ giveaways will soon be the talk of the town, so stay alert for the next one by following InterContinental Dubai Festival City on their Twitter profile at

    www.twitter.com/intercondfc


    The hotel wish good luck to all their followers, and advise them to keep their running shoes handy!

    Win a Macbook Air - ends 7/16

    DealsPlus is turning 3 years old, and for some reason, we're giving you a birthday gift! For the next 10 days, starting July 6, we'll be giving out a Macbook Air every day for the next 10 days. That's ten Macbook Airs!

    As of this giveaway, we are combining our services with Twitter so that the valuable information we carry about sales and specials can be shared more freely. Check out our new home page!

    Update! - July 8, 2009

    After a long, coffee-fueled debate in our executive cardboard meeting room, we've decided to make several changes to the contest rules:

    • Eligible entries are now tweets made @dealsplus, rather than using the hashtag #dealsplus.
    • Entrants are now limited to five (5) tweets, or entries, per day. If you get picked and you have more than 5 tweets @dealsplus for the day, we'll pick someone else.

    • Too difficult? Just tweet this!

    These changes were made out of respect for Twitterdom. They take effect Wednesday, July 8, 2009!

    How to Enter

    There are a couple of ways to to take a crack at winning your cool new Macbook Air and iPod Touch:

    1. Re-tweet a deal or coupon. Good places to find them are the home page, or the coupons page.
    2. Simply tweet @dealsplus in any of your tweets on Twitter (say that five times fast). Be as funny or creative as you'd like!

    You can tweet @dealsplus up to five (5) times for each day the contest is running (until July 17th). Each tweet will count as one eligible entry and winners will be chosen by Rand-Metrius, the DealsPlus God of all things random. Each day's contest starts at 12:00AM PST, and ends at 11:59PM PST.

    Winners will be announced on our Twitter page, so don't forget to follow @dealsplus to see if you've won!

    The Rules

    1. Contest will run on weekdays (M-F) from July 6 to July 17, excluding Saturday and Sunday.
    2. Limit five (5) tweets/entries @dealsplus per user account. If you get picked and you have more than 5 tweets @dealsplus for the day, we'll pick someone else.
    3. One winner per Twitter account.
    4. To enter, you must send out a tweet from your Twitter account @dealsplus. Each tweet with @dealsplus included is considered an entry. The rest of the tweet text is up to you, so have fun with it!
    5. Blatant usage of scripts or automated tweeting processes of any kind will automatically disqualify you from the contest.
    6. The winning prize will be a $1,399.00 gift certificate to the Apple store which maybe used toward the purchase of a Macbook Air laptop with Apple's "back to school" promotion (iPod touch comes free after a rebate with the same promotion).
    7. No purchase necessary to enter. You do not need to have a DealsPlus account to participate.
    8. Once contacted, winner will be responsible for providing the correct mailing address and personal information.
    9. All entrants must be 14 years of age or older.
    10. Each "day" starts at 12:00AM PST, and ends at 11:59PM PST.

    iPod touch giveaway - ends 7/10

    To celebrate and announce the upcoming Happn.in iPhone application, we are giving away an iPod Touch on July 10. Here’s the deal:

    To enter, just @-reply Happn.in within Twitter – that’s @happn_in (note the underscore). We will randomly choose one winner on July 10 at 5 PM Eastern Time.

    TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING (three-fold): be sure you are a follower of one of the Happn.in cities on Twitter – check the list to find the city nearest you.

    Happn.in makes Twitter more useful (see this recent blog post for why we think Twitter is mostly not useful right now) – we collect local data so you can see what people are Twittering about around you. Currently, we have over 130,000 people following 67 Happn.in cities worldwide. With our upcoming iPhone application, we’re going give our users even more ways to engage with their local community through Twitter.

    Starting Sunday July 5, you can throw your name in the hat for our 8 GB iPod Touch Giveaway, and on Friday, July 10 at 5 PM Eastern, we’ll choose one of you at random.

    Contest Rules

    1. Contest runs from July 5 through July 10.
    2. You enter by replying to @happn_in from your Twitter Account (doesn’t matter what you say, but if you use profane or offensive language, we’ll disqualify you and think lowly of you).
    3. If, on July 10th, you are a follower of one of the 67 Happn.in Cities, you will be three times as likely to win the contest (think of it like this: anyone can get a raffle ticket, but Happn.in followers get THREE raffle tickets). You can see the full list (with links to their Twitter accounts) at Happn.in. You can follow more than one city, of course, but this won’t increase your chances.
    4. A winner will be chosen at random on Friday, July 10 at 5 PM Eastern; and will be announced via the official Happn.in Twitter User (@happn_in)
    5. The winner must provide us with a legit mailing address within 7 days of the announcement. We will attempt to contact the winner through Twitter Direct Message (though, that person must follow @happn_in for us to be able to do that). The 8 GB iPod Touch will be sent out within 7 days after receiving the mailing address.
    6. We reserve the right to change or update these rules as necessary.

    What? You don't tweet? Then sign up for a twitter account today at https://twitter.com/signup. It's easy -- just put in your name, you password and your e-mail and you're good to go!

    win a Playstation 3 - ends ??



    April 18, 2009. Here's an update on my first Twitter contest, which is for a Playstation 3. Because, you know, it plays Blu-ray movies--as well as some of the most advanced games around. And there's nothing better than seeing a movie in high-definition.

    Winning never has been easier, though you do have to be a member of Twitter to play.


    Here’s how you can improve your chances to win it.

    1. Follow me on Twitter.
    2. Tweet the following message to your followers:
    Just entered the Playstation 3 contest. You can win by following @WeekinRewind and retweet. http://xr.com/w1c He follows back too!

    • Tweet and retweet the above message daily. The more your name is in our database, it significantly improves your chances of winning.
    Ends when followers reaches 5,000.

    Every 10th follower wins - ends @6000

    In order to help you make the leap into social networking, I am giving away some signed copies of my new book (written with Richie Stanley and Jason Hayes), Lost and Found: The Younger Unchurched and Churches that Reach Them.

    Here's a quick look into what it's all about:

    Who are the young unchurched, and how can they be reached with the good news of Jesus Christ?

    In a poll result highlighted by CNN Headline News and USA Today, nearly half of nonchurchgoers between the ages of twenty and twenty-nine agreed with the statement, "Christians get on my nerves." Now, researchers behind the larger study present Lost and Found, a blend of dynamic hard data and modern day parable that tells the real story of an unchurched generation that is actually quite spiritual and yet circumspect, open to Jesus but not the church.


    Now, here are the giveaway rules:

    Lost and Found_medium.jpgOnce my Twitter "followers" reach 6000, I will give away a free book to every tenth person that follows. That should be 6000, 6010, 6020, etc. up until 6100. However, the count is based on my notifications. (Each time someone follows you get an email notice.) So, I will simply mark when I get the 6000th follower and then count every 10 after that until 10 books are given away.

    If someone "unfollows" during that time, it could mean that the count you see and the number of follows I receive do not line up. My count is final. And, since more than one person might "follow" at 6000, my notification will be the signal for a free book.

    And, these are for those wanting to live the good life I am encouraging to connect with via Twitter. If you are brand new Twitter, that will be great, but if we are just new "Twitter friends," that is OK, too. (And, I follow back all who follow me.) Now, for the 26 of you who "unfollowed" after I announced the contest on Twitter for "new" followers, I will let your conscience be your guide. ;-)

    Everyone will be notified via Twitter direct message within 24 hours.

    I hope to see you on Twitter.

    Win a New Kindle 2 - ends @ 5,000 followers

    Follow - Jump the Curve


    Jump the Curve is offering a new Amazon Kindle 2 to a randomly selected follower once they attain 5000 followers. There is nothing inherently magical about 5000 followers, I just felt it was an ambitious yet attainable goal. (Here’s a list of 10 reasons you—or may not—want a new Kindle 2.)

    If you are reading this posting for the first time, I would greatly appreciate it if you would tweet this offer to your followers. If you have stumbled across this post due to Twitter, I’d sincerely appreciate it if you would consider retweeting it. Don’t know what either Twitter or a retweet is?


    The reason I have chosen a Kindle as the prize is because it is symbolic of the work I do as a business/technology forecaster and public speaker—in that I help organizations discern (or “read") the future. All of my tweets are geared toward this end. Thus, if you have even the slightest interest in the future—and I sincerely hope you do because it is, after all, where all of us will spend our remaining time on this planet—I’m confident you’ll find value in following me. Also, I’m happy to follow you back—especially if you’ve got some interesting, informative, innovative, insightful or just plain entertaining to say.

    Check out book reviews for your Kindle as well.

    To ensure that I really do offer a new Kindle, I will conduct a live drawing on LiveCast and announce the winner’s name and then later post the recording of the event to my YouTube account. (Note: In the interest of fairness, my current followers will also be eligible to win as it wouldn’t be fair to unnecessarily penalize them just because they began following me early.)

    Win a P183 - ends 4/15

    Antec Twitter 500 Contest

    Win an Acer Aspire One +++ MORE - ends 3/31

    HOW TO ENTER

    1. Follow @MichelleM (that’s me) on Twitter

    2. Tweet this to your friends: I just entered to win an Acer netbook - follow @MichelleM & retweet to enter too! http://is.gd/oD1E

    CLICK HERE to send the Tweet out to your Twitter friends automatically.

    The giveaway ends March 31, 2009 at midnight PST. Three winners will be picked at random (one for each prize) and notified via Twitter DM. If notified, you will have 24 hours to respond and claim your prize, at which point it will be given to another contestant.

    PRIZES

    For prizes, I’ve chosen a few of my “favorite things” (queue Oprah theme music). These are handpicked, items that I own, adore, love, learn from and use.

    Acer Aspire One 8.9-Inch Netbook: This Model comes with Windows XP, a 160 gig harddrive (unlike some of the netbooks out there - hello Dell? - you can actually store a few files or programs on it) and the 6-cell battery, so it’ll run for about 5.5 hours (what a netbook is for - being able to work with it on-the-go and not charge it up all the time). Of course it’s got wireless and USB ports and whatnot, and has consistently been among the top performing netbooks by review sites.

    Snowball USB Microphone: I replaced my old, $14 mic with this model about 2 months ago and love the sound quality. Plus it looks cool - and there’s something to be said about cool looking equipment! It definitely gets comments from anyone who visits the office. Installs like a dream, has switches on the back to adjust the way it picks up sound - good for group vs. individual recording and adjusting for the sound qualities of the room you’re in.

    Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat: This book (that I originally was referred to by Rich Schefren) has given me a kick in the arse - really! A must-read for ANYONE with their own business (internet marketing or not).
