I don’t really like it when individuals just copy and paste comments…A massive amount of people just comment to get a backlink, however, I can’t blame them because backlinking is regarded as the fundamentals to get a good pagerank and visitors. If however the comment is pertinent to your topic, then it’s actually a far better backlink than just a simple copy and paste and also the importance of having lots of comments is so big. Good post.
should i get the ipad 3g or wifi? i have wifi at my house but i dont know if wifi is worth the money, but i enjoy using youtube but always go over wifi usage at my house and have to pay buttloads!

I am surely ready to win this. I have to keep going, my last try at a comment was just too short, so uh I guess I could begin with a story of my very first memory. No, just too boring to write about here abd besides it is more of a flashback than an actual memory, but I will tell you one thing, I was definetly in a crib at the time it happened. Yes I have a memory back that far, I am pretty sure I wasnt talkin yet either.
You can’t be serious about you must travel to Orlando at $900 roundtrip to pick up a $500 iPad? Just thought I’d point that out in case it’s in error!
If it’s true, then maybe change your rules to say “Open only to FL residents within 150 mile radius of Orlando”.
Curious, why would you choose not to ship the winner the iPad? It woud only cost about 10 bucks. At the very least, ask the winner to pay shipping. It really isnt fair otherwise.
love Knightnews
I don’t know…. There are like, what, 8000 freshmen plus transfer students coming this summer…. I think he might have to cough it up by aug 23
Looks like Stein is getting an iPad
We planned to do it while logged out of Facebook, so our friends wouldn’t have a higher chance. A new account with zero friends could be an option too though, as you suggested. We did say anyone affiliated with knight news is not eligible in the rules.
or, i suppose you could create a new account (with 0 friends) and then see who it pulls up. Even then, however, its not really fair, because you have no idea how facebook chooses people to be on their. It could be random, or it could be based off of some other factor(s). You would have no idea either way.
BTW, that box on the left of fan pages, the algorithm is most likely to choose someone you are friends with. (they are weighted higher than non-friends).
to make this contest fair, you would need to access the facebook api, get all of the users who are a fan of the page, and then randomly choose from the list.
or……. it looks like one of your friends is probably winning.
peace & love,
