I promised that after we made the front page on Digg for my recent article about the Top 100 Mac Apps, I would give away an Apacer USB stick. In order to win, you had to have Dugg the story, and be present in the chat room.
We used a GoToMeeting during this giveaway. I let one of the participants be there person to scroll through the names list, and my video encoder Kat told him when to stop scrolling each time via Ventrilo. GoToMeeting is a great way for you to get people together and have live meetings, share desktops and information, and the like. You can get a free 45-day trial by clicking the link at the beginning of this paragraph.
Ok so let’s get this show on the road! The first person chosen was Bughouse. Unfortunately, he didn’t answer our call, and was found to have been idle for 21 hours. On to the next person! Second up was nvista. He doesn’t show as idle, but he never answered us or provided a Digg link. The third person chosen was dontknowanything. Excellent! They’re present in chat! Wait, what? Ohhhh well dang. No Digg account. That’s a requirement for this particular giveaway. Let’s try again…
Finally! Neoyoshi1 was chosen, is present in the channel, and pasted his Digg account link immediately. We have a winner!! Congratulations!
Thank you everyone for continuing to support us, Digging those articles, and leaving so much feedback. I appreciate it more than you know.
