… because there’s nothing better to do. |
Last month we announced our second giveaway and the prize was 1,500 entrecard credits to be transfered to one random participant at the end of the giveaway period.
We got lot of entries and we wish we had more credits to give to more than 1 person.
Anyway here we are! Ready to know the winner’s name?
Today’s post will not include any tip or trick to apply on your computer, but rather an advice to make us all more socially responsible. Make sure to read it, after all it is related to computers!
If you use e-mail at work, then we’re pretty sure you print a lot of e-mails. Maybe because they look more clear when printed, or simply because you like to hold whatever you have to read between your hands. But do you recall how many times you printed emails and threw them away after few minutes? And do you know the impact of your action on the environment?
We’re not claiming to be doing better, we actually used to do the same until today, we stopped this habit because of an e-mail we received from one of our clients.
Contests and giveaways are a good way to increase both traffic and RSS readers. With our last 350 Entrecard credits giveaway we have succeeded to attract more visitors and our feed readers have also increased, quite satisfying!
Today we decided to hold a new giveaway, this time worth 1,500 Entrecard credits, and will be granted to 1 lucky winner. We’re not going to divide the prize over multiple winners because we believe that one person winning 1,500 credits can make better use of the 1,500 credits by advertising on expensive blog in addition to buying items from the shop at the same time.
The giveaway will end on March 1st 15th, and the winner will be announced on March 2nd 16th.
So how to enter the giveaway?
Two weeks ago we announced our first giveaway and we promised to transfer 350 credits to the entrecard account of one random participant at the end of the giveaway period, which is today.

Although it was not intentional we took a good 12 hours trip to the moon, but we’re back !!!
In fact we didn’t our server was down for more than 12 hours due to a cable issue at our host.
We will do our best not to have such problems again but there was really nothing we could do about it was it ?
I would like to dedicate this post to thank all of those who voted for me in the RuffPC contest. Even though I did not win, but finishing in the 3rd place in a competition full of really famous internet marketers is nothing but great (review the list of competitors here). Knowing that my blog is less than 1 month old!
Competition, as you can see below, ended up mainly between TechTreak and John Chow. The latter won with a massive 116,930 votes.
I assume you all know that I am participating into the contest held at The Thinking Blog to win a RuffPC. Good news is that I made it into the top 5 (thanks to YOUR votes), and the final round of voting has just started and will last until January 3rd 2008. The winner will be announced on January 4th.
The really good part! In case I win, I have decided to give away the RuffPC laptop to Maxime Chaya, who’s currently completing the 3 poles challenge.
For those of you who don’t know who this is, Maxime is the first Lebanese to climb Everest, he achieved it on May 15th 2006 as the last of his seven summits.
His next challenge was to complete the 3 poles. 2 days ago, he completed his second pole (the south pole) after Everest, and the 3rd pole (the north pole) is scheduled to be completed in 2009. He will then become the 8th person in the world to have achieved BOTH of the 3 poles AND the 7 summits.
Maxime is simply our national hero and I’m pretty sure he’ll make use of a RuffPC while completing his challenge!
To contribute, take a second of your time to vote for me and make me a winner in the poll below in order to say thank you to Maxime for raising our country name on the highest place on earth.
Instead of voting to get a slim chance to win, vote where it can make a difference

Well, that’s what I am trying to do by participating in the competition held at the thinking blog to win a laptop that may scare ANY other ordinary computer!
