Win a FREE Hard Drive on Twitter! – Update!

We have changed things up! We are going to switch to a WEEKLY giveaway for a month rather than bi-weekly!

With all the software, photos, music, and videos we seem to need every day on our Macintosh computers, we all need more hard drive space! Here is your chance to win a 320GB miniG Firewire Hard Drive!

The rules are very simple:
Using Twitter, simply tweet this:

Twitter Contest @MyMac Win a free miniG Firewire HD from Transintl.com! Just RT this post. Details http://tiny.cc/kOqq2

Simple, no?

Why are we doing this? Well, MyMac.com loves our sponsors, of course, and Transintl.com are good people who we want to help bring awareness to. It really is as simple as that!

(And they are supplying the drives, so there is no money coming out of our pockets!)

Winners will be chosen every week for one month! The contest starts September 15, 2009 and ends October 13th, 2009. Dates the winners will be chosen:

• Sept. 22, 2009 – Winner! Phil Paxman @IDDW. Congratulations, Phil!
  Sept. 29, 2009 – Winner! Ben Avery @whisperingloon. Congratulations, Bill!
  Oct. 6, 2009 – Winner! Cindy Hickman @lifeonprint. Congratulations, Cindy!
  Oct. 13, 2009 –Winner! John Darrow @JD_Denver_SW. Congratulations, John!

Rules:
We will enter each twitter user name in a custom FileMaker Pro database that we will use to randomly select the winner. The database will be emptied every time a winner is chosen. You are allowed to RT that post once every 24 hours, increasing your chance of winning 14 times every two weeks. Winners will be contacted via message on Twitter, at which point the winner will have to submit shipping information to contest@mymac.com. The prizes will be shipped directly from Transintl.com to the winner.

Each RT of the above Twitter post by YOU will get you one (1) entry. Please don’t spam twitter, though, as only one RT will be counted. If you send out 100 RT in one day, that is still only one entry.

Hey, it’s a free hard drive! Why not enter?

Only continental US residents eligible. No shipping to P.O. or drop boxes. MyMac.com makes no warranties or claims on the prizes. No one affiliated with MyMac.com or the MyMac.com podcast is eligible. You are not eligible to win if your Twitter posts are set to private. This contest is void where prohibited and open to anyone.
