Become a Fan, Win a 1Tb ioSafe Drive
ioSafe started a fan page on Facebook to provide a forum for users to share ans discuss experiences with the ioSafe drives, and for ioSafe to be able to share news and updates related to the devices. To provide incentive for users to join the community on the Facebook page, ioSafe is running a contest to give away a 1Tb ioSafe drive.
The original target was 5,000 fans. ioSafe has discovered that driving membership to the Facebook page is easier said than done even if you’re giving away a 1Tb drive. So, the goal has been modified to 1,000 followers. Once the ioSafe Facebook page reaches 1,000 followers, ioSafe will select one lucky fan to win a 1Tb ioSafe drive- a drive that the ioSafe Facebook page says is “Like an aircraft black box for your data.”
There are currently about 500 followers. Go to the ioSafe fan page on Facebook and join to become a fan for a chance to win an 1 Tb ioSafe drive.
ioSafe posted the following rules for the contest on the Facebook page:
RULES: 1. The judge’s decision is final. No bellyaching or petulant whining is permitted! 2. The contest is open to real humans only. Dogs, cats, fish and discarnate entities on the astral plane are excluded. 3. Should you not tell us your address within 14 days of us sending the notification that you’ve won, we’ll give the ioSafe to somebody else. If you think this is unfair, see clause #1.

that was a real puffpiece in the Wash post, obviously in bed with Bill Gates, the great O/S scam artist

I agree with Garrett: to wit, item #4, 3rd sentence is missing some rather critical information.

Go read the original.
The Washington Post did some ‘creative editing’ when they borrowed my blog post. They cut out key text like Item #4, sentence 3.
Here is the original blog post:

Thanks for pointing it out, I see the missing html. Makes one reconsider WP’s intent.

Actually- I looked into it some more and it seems like a simple formatting incompatibility. Basically- the Washington Post feed ignored the text that was in BOLD print from the original.

I’m not commenting about this post but to ask a question: I cannot find your e-mail address anywhere and would like to write you. I wanted to comment on your MSN Facebook Makeover piece but saw no place for comments there nor did I find your e-mail there or here. If you don’t want to send your e-mail and would rather I comment here, I will do so but I didn’t want to comment on a thoroughly unrelated piece here (although I realize to some degree that is exactly what I have done). Thanks.

I actually wanted to e-mail you about some questions and issues with the new Facebook makeover that you raised in your piece that I have since either received answers to or had resolved. Thank you anyway for your response with your e-mail address. I will keep it on the off-chance I have any questions in the future. Sorry to trouble you for it. Thanks again.
