The Influence Of The Blogospere Demonstrated Again

Overstock.com is launching a huge promotion on December 3rd called the "All I want for Christmas Giveaway" and they have, like so many advertisers are finally recognizing, are turning to the power of the blogosphere to promote their contest and prizes.

When you enter the contest you can select one item from their website up to but not more than $1,000.00. You can also then send an “invitation link” to up to five friends by putting in the friend's email address. And of course you obviously can't "invite" yourself so don't try. The cool thing is, is that if you win all the friends you referred win as well. Also if one of the friends you referred win too. Pretty cool.

The item that chose upon entering was the Ebel Men's 1911 Steel Watch. Why? Because that is what I wanted. Well, the one I really want is a bit higher priced so this was the one for under the $1000. Yep a watch. I did refer five friends that I know would appreciate the watch. You could pick a TV, an IPOD, or choose anything from the site.

In the spirit of Christmas and the nature of the promotion itself I am just going to link to 5 blogs to which I want to say Merry Christmas. So since I can't enter email addresses here I will link to 5 blog addresses instead. It's a great contest. Why don't you head on over and enter, refer a few friends if you wish and LINK TO FIVE BLOGS as a way of saying Merry Christmas. Which five friends would you refer? Other bloggers? If so feel free to link to their site! Which bloggers chose you?

My Merry Christmas Five!

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E...

The Stripping Aristologist Contest Winner

Well as you can see from the above screen capture the winning entry is #5. Heading over to the contest post and looking through the comments and the trackbacks I found that Anton of Link Right Contests was entry #5 with his guess of Julia Child. The actual answer was incorrect so he won the $50 but not the bonus prize. I was a bit generous to 2 entries that commented and entered but did not give the link. I had to search their blog to find the answer. There were several that commented and gave a link to their blog but I could not find a post about the contest or any links back to this blog. Anywho....Congrats to Anton and thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to interact with this blog and really make it what it is. Oh and Anton you might want to consider some kind of Contact Me link for your blog. Other than trackback to your post and a comment I have no way to contact you regarding your winning entry. Having a Contact Me is one of the first things any blogger should ...
