A Social Media Christmas Contest
Yesterday when I was checking my e-mails, I noticed a message from Tinu Abayomi-Paul sent through StumbleUpon (on SU you can either send pages to other SU members or send a page to someone’s e-mail) titled How to Know if You’re “That Guy” in Social Media.
I really enjoyed the article, which uses humor to discuss a big issue in social media…are you part of the conversation?
One of the things I love about Plurk is that it makes having conversations simple. In one afternoon I can discuss the newest James Bond movie (and how cute Daniel Craig is :)), talk about long distance relationships, and agree to participate in a blog contest.
NAMG’s idea for a blog contest really puts the social in social media.
I’m going to copy her explanation below. I hope you think it’s a good idea and want to join in. 
Hey my friends! It is contest time once again! When I
was deciding on my prize for my previous contest I wanted to do
something to help one of my readers defray some of the expense of the
holidays. I realized, though, that I wouldn’t be able to do
much alone.Sooooo..,. I turned to my fellow bloggers on Plurk. (The
BESTEST SOCIAL NETWORK EVAR!) Several of them have pitched in and
we are having a contest across all our blogs.Now, the rules. You can enter once per participating blog per
day. Entries are simple… just comment on our post for the
day. If you blog and would like to post about our contest, doing
so will get you 5 extra entries. There will be 2 winners.
Each winner will need to give us a mini bio of your family.
(Ages, genders, wants, needs, likes) and we will buy prizes
accordingly. Prizes will be wrapped for under the tree and sent
post haste! Comments and posts from Sunday November 23 through November
26th will be taken as entries. Black Friday we will announce the
winners!!!!The following Blogs are participating in this prize package!
