This is unbelievable! Have you read these contest rules? Go ahead, read these rules. I’ll wait.
It’s almost as effective as asking people to:
Post a video to three social media sites with an excruciatingly specific title with extremely specific tags then email us, tweet us, call us on a satellite phone, text us, stand on your head for 3 minutes, do a backflip, jump up & down while scream IM+ is the best thing in this world!
In all seriousness the contest rules should be:
- Post a video to YouTube after March 28, 2011 and before May 31, 2011
- The winner will be the person with the most views at midnight EDT May 31, 2011
Let it go viral and get lots of publicity for the price of a 16GB iPad. Instead they are putting so many restrictions on how to enter that people just won’t do it. Good luck with that IM+.
Also, why are they giving away 5 promo codes to an app people need to own and use in order to enter the contest.
