Announcing the “Virtual Karma Counts” Contest Program
February 23, 2010 - By Justin E. Gehrke
February 22, 2010 – Today, Geek Shui Living is proud to announce the inauguration of what we hope will be the first of many contests. What are these contests, you ask? Well, we want to give away free stuff to our loyal followers. We would be remiss not to acknowledge that its the retweets of Geek Shui News articles, blogs, etc. that help drive traffic to our site and spread the word about the wonders of Geek Shui Living. So, we decided that we need to give something back to those who help us. While we hope that, in the future, prospective technology partners throw a few distributable gifts our way (hint, hint), we’re committed to taking the hit in our pocket, for now!
Since we have a natural tendency to go over the top, with just about everything we do, we decided contests should be no exception. So, we’re giving the program a name befitting of Geek Shui Living’s message. It will henceforth be known as the Virtual Karma Counts contest program. Why Virtual Karma Counts? Well, part of Geek Shui Living’s philosophy is that one should have a healthy balance between their real and virtual worlds. Accordingly, what you do with Information Technology, or “IT”, really dictates how “IT” treats you. If you’re good to others, it will eventually come back to you. If you’re bad to others…well…you get the gist. So to help you build your virtual karma (You didn’t know you had any, right?), we’ll ask you to do something for us. In return, you might just be the winner. Sounds easy, right? Well, read on to find out the rules for our inaugural contest.
Contest Dates: February 22 – 28, 2010
Contest Prize: Two lucky winners will each receive an iTunes Gift Certificate, valued at $10.00
Rules: To register to win, you need only have a Twittter account and complete two simple steps:
1. Follow Geek Shui Living on Twitter (@GeekShui); Then,
2. Simply Tweet the following phrase: @GeekShui taught me “Virtual Karma Counts” at http://geekshui.com #GeekShui Follow us, RT & be eligible to win a $10 iTunes Certificate
The details are important, so make sure your tweet includes the exact phrase, as it is shown above. If the Twitter mention, website, hash-tag, or prize is omitted, you aren’t considered eligible. To qualify, your tweet must be posted on Geek Shui Living’s Mention page, by midnight on February 28, 2010. The two contest winners will be selected at random from all submissions. Once the winners have been selected, Geek Shui Living will announce the winners, via its Twitter account. Winners will have two days to respond, via Direct Message (DM) with their email address. In the event, the selected winner(s) does not respond, via DM, another winner(s) will be selected at random, from the remaining entries received.
Its that easy! The important part is to make sure you keep following Geek Shui Living on Twitter, so you’ll know if you won. Even if you don’t win this one, make sure you keep following us, so you’ll know about our next one, which we hope will be even better! In the end, everyone’s a winner because, as you now know, Virtual Karma Counts!
Ok, consider the contest officially started. Good luck to everyone!
