We just launched a new feature called the Happn.in Feed. Try out that feature and you could win one of four iPod Touches1
Update (10/11/09): We’re changing the schedule a little bit from what we previously announced. In order to coincide with the release of the Happn.in iPhone app in a couple weeks, we are putting the remaining two iPod Touch contests on hold. We will announce here and via our Twitter Account when the contest is back on.
Each week for the next four weeks, we will be giving away an iPod Touch to the person who gets the most votes in their city’s Happn.in Feed.
The Happn.in Feed?
The Happn.in Feed gives you the ability to Tweet directly to your city. Similarly, it gives you access to city-focused tweets. Have a show coming up? Have a restaurant review? Want to just talk about the weather? The Happn.in feed focuses your Tweets on your community.
How to use the Happn.in Feed to win an iPod Touch.
- Go to your city’s Happn.in page (find your city on the homepage)
- Use the text box to talk to your city
- You will be authorized through your Twitter account
- Your Tweet will appear on the Happn.in Feed
- Get your Tweets Voted Up.
Each tweet in the Happn.in feed can be voted either up or down.
We keep score; and the person with the most votes at the end of the week from each city gets a chance at the iPod. We put all the city winners’ names into a hat and pull one out at random. Got it? You can tweet in your city’s Happn.in Feed as much as you like; but remember – if you are annoying, there is a bigger likelihood you will be voted down.
The contest starts now. We choose the first winner Friday, Oct. 2 and then every Friday for the next three weeks (Oct. 9, 16, 23).
Contest Rules
1NOTE: The prize is actually an apple gift card in the amount of $199 – the price of an 8GB iPod Touch. Because we thought: maybe you don’t want an iPod touch – maybe you want $199 worth of some other Apple product? You know?
