Get a Brightkite sticker, Viddler Tshirt and sticker!

Brightkite, in their infinite generosity, sent me a few stickers that I could give away here on my site.  When I got them in the mail yesterday I immediately began to think of a fun way to give them away, and I think I’ve come up with an easy and fun way.

And I think I can find some Viddler tshirts laying around to give away with the stickers.  These people seem to like them, so maybe you will too!

How to “win” a Brightkite sticker and a Viddler tshirt!

Let’s keep this simple, shall we?

  1. Create a Viddler account.
  2. Friend me on Viddler!
  3. Leave a video comment on this post stating about why you’d like a sticker and a tshirt ((Bonus points if you show where you’d put the sticker. Keep it clean.)).

Pretty simple.  If you have a Brightkite account already, friend me up there as well, but if you don’t your sticker will also come with an invite.

There will be 8 winners!  I will select the winners based on the video.  If you don’t have a video camera attached to your computer, you can upload a video to Viddler first and then select it using the Viddler Wordpress plugin (just click the link by the comment box and you should be able to figure out the rest).

You can put in entries until tomorrow at noon.

Update: Rob has some Viddler stickers so we’re going to add those to the mix as well!

A note to Brightkite admins: If you have any invites you can drop into my bucket, please do and I will personally invite anyone that leaves a comment on this post.

    What a fun contest! Those BrightKite stickers and Viddler shirts look awesome!

  2. Posted July 30, 2008 at 2:28 pm | Permalink

    Why should I get a tshirt? Because I’m a Philly head who’s transplanted in SF and try to hit up all the different web conferences and parties out here. Would totally love to rock some Viddler pride when I’m out and about!

    @JamesBayliss That is a really plain t-shirt. You definitely need one!

    James Bayliss: Please note that comments by the President of Viddler do not count towards your contest entry. ;) Ha! (Oh, that is a really plain tshirt. I agree.)

    Surprisingly, this was only a little bit embarrassing.

  11. Posted July 30, 2008 at 3:06 pm | Permalink

    Adding some viddler stickers to the mix!

  12. Posted July 30, 2008 at 3:10 pm | Permalink

    @RobSandie Even better! You can stick a viddler sticker on your viddler t-shirt and look extra-cool!

  13. Posted July 30, 2008 at 3:34 pm | Permalink

    whoa! this contest is getting hardcore now! Must get creative and submit an entry…

    I need to get home so I can make a video! I’ll throw in a Zappos.com sticker!

  17. Posted July 30, 2008 at 4:59 pm | Permalink

    Oh – I really need a viddler Shirt. I guess nobody in Germany has one… – anyhow. I think I need a Webcam… Why is my MacBook still “under construction”… this is unfair competition.

    I’m in.. Sticker or shirt, I need something to cover me up when I streak. Come on!!

  19. Posted July 30, 2008 at 5:45 pm | Permalink

    Dude, you know I want a Viddler shirt. I missed out on SXSW and didn’t get one so I need a Viddler Shirt to be rockin’ to RefreshOKC and RefreshDallas…

  20. Posted July 30, 2008 at 5:55 pm | Permalink

    I’d love a Viddler shirt & the brightkite stickers. Why you ask? I’ve been prone to not showing my geekyness in public because of my lack of tech clothing, even resorting to wear Hollister shirts, the horror! Please help a worthy cause, and keep up the great work w/ Viddler. :)

  21. Posted July 30, 2008 at 7:39 pm | Permalink

    I’m gonna help grow the Viddler community in Milwaukee! Help me help you get the support of the upper midwesterners.

    Great idea for the contest. Keep it coming!

  22. Posted July 30, 2008 at 7:55 pm | Permalink

    Continuing my ongoing quest for the elusive Viddler T-shirt. Colin, you rock for putting on this competition. Way to support a great service!

    viddler is for more that just webcam comments! (IMHO)

    Competition is getting stiff! Brb, trying to solve the space-time continuum. If I am successful, I will post a video. To infinity.. And beyond!

  33. Posted July 31, 2008 at 10:20 am | Permalink

    @Stompy all that work and Viddler hasn’t been added to your dictionary? Don’t think we didn’t notice the red spellcheck underline!

  34. Posted July 31, 2008 at 10:33 am | Permalink

    Nice work Stompy!!! Great video!

  35. Posted July 31, 2008 at 10:33 am | Permalink

    Trevor Smith: Yep. I’ll probably do a video comment!

    Ben Kessler: Reading is fundamental! :) I was at Wordcamp 07… I’d love to swing an appearance at 08. If I do, I’ll look ya up! Not a Brightkite fan? Dude. :)

    Ooh! I’m very excited!! I lurve free T-shirts! It would be interest to see who would have won if you were picking winners (conditional AND subjunctive *has a love-hate relationship with language studies*). It was fun watching all the videos.

  71. Posted August 1, 2008 at 9:21 pm | Permalink

    Sounds great Colin. I await your email… :)

  72. Posted August 3, 2008 at 11:02 pm | Permalink

    Is this over or can I still submit a video?

  73. Posted August 6, 2008 at 3:19 pm | Permalink

    Have you sent out the e-mail for sizes and addresses yet? Just want to be sure I didn’t miss it if you have sent it already. Thanks!

  74. Posted August 19, 2008 at 3:24 pm | Permalink

    I never found out if emails had been sent out yet? I know you have been busy with NME but I’m looking forward to a viddler t-shirt.

  75. Posted August 19, 2008 at 3:57 pm | Permalink

    The email for this has definitely been sent to everyone eligible. If you didn’t receive one, but should have, please email me from my about page.

  76. Posted September 15, 2008 at 9:29 am | Permalink

    Did people actually get shirts and stickers? I’ve submitted everything and got nothing, its been awhile, was just wondering, was looking forward to a Viddler t-shirt.
