I would like to start by thanking everyone for taking part in the GoDaddy e-Gift card contest. With over 25 unique contestants and a total of 107 entries, I feel it is safe to say that the contest was a great success. I took me a while to add all the entries into my randomizing script.

And now, the moment you have been waiting for. Can I have a drum roll, please? Tatatatatatatatatata, the winner is:

İbrahim Korkmaz

Congratulations İbrahim, I have emailed your GoDaddy e-Gift voucher to the address that you used when commenting. Please let me know if you have any problems using it.

I have attached a screenshot of the selection window for your viewing pleasure. I also ran the randomizing script a second time to select a runner up, congratulations to Sanil. If İbrahim does not claim his e-Gift card, I will award it to the runner up in 48 hours from now.

Remember that the competition will continue to run over the next 4 weeks, so you still have 4 more chances at winning. Your current entries are still valid and I will add any new comments to your total. Thanks again for taking part and good luck for next week.

Thanks to all my loyal readers, the blog has grown extremely quickly over the past 2 weeks. I would like to thank all of you by introducing my very first competition. I will be giving away 5 GoDaddy e-Gift Cards worth $15 each over the next 5 weeks. These e-Gift cards can be used for purchasing any product from GoDaddy, such as domain names or hosting. So now you can get that domain name you’ve always wanted, even if you don’t have a credit card.

I will randomly select a winner every Sunday evening for the next 5 weeks, around 8pm GMT+7. By now you are probably salivating all over your keyboard. Well before you cause any permanent damage to you computer let me explain how you can enter this awesome competition.

Well for once I think my luck is turning. I’ve been browsing the net looking for an affordable and easy to use video camera when I noticed that my “online idol”, John Chow, is giving not one but two Flip Video recorders away on his blog.

The Flip Video recorder would suit my needs perfectly. I need a camera that is small enough to carry with me everywhere I go and also easy to use. Judging from all the reviews this camera has received all over the net, this seems like an awesome little tech toy.

While you are not going to be ale to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster on it, it still manages to take relatively good quality videos and stores them on its internal memory. The camera has a built in USB connector, so you don’t have to carry around any extra cables when you are out on the road.

John is partnering up with BIC Promo Pens to bring us all this great offer. BIC is probably one of the best known companies in the stationary world. I remember using BIC pens when I was in school. Now the chance to promote you business using brand-able promotional pens from BIC will really be of a benefit to most businesses.
