the mobile experience giveaway - Celebrating 2 Year Anniversary (2nd week update)

I started "the mobile experience" blog two years ago when I was in between jobs. I had taken a month off from the hustle and bustle of the NYC media agency scene and decided to create something for my own. At that time, my goal was to, 1). explore and document my thoughts on a topic that I am genuinely passionate about and 2). learn how blogging and related social marketing platforms work in the world of online marketing. I am happy to say that this blog has given me some unique opportunities to voice my opinion and learn to apply what I learned to my full time job. Over the course of the past two years, I have been very fortunate to have worked with some very good PR professionals representing solid companies in the mobile world. They've worked with me to provide latest information and review samples to give content for this blog. Since the Holidays is here, I would like to give away some of those review items to my faithful readers.

How to win something: Follow me on Twitter and send me a direct message between now until December 31st. I will randomly draw two names each week and give away the following items. I will announce more drawing and prizes every Monday until 12/31/2008. So comeback often for more updates. Cheers! *This giveaway is for the contiguous 48 U.S. States only.

Week 1 (Drawing Takes Place 12/13/2008): I'll be giving away the 1). Aura Bluetooth Speaker and 2). SanDisk Sansa slotMusic Player w/ Nelly MicroSD DRM-Free Album
