Gold Rush 2 Update, GR2
Tuesday, July 31, 2007 10:48 PM

Thanks to gdesignr for this. It was posted a couple of weeks ago, but it has come to my attention not many people saw it, so I am posting it again.

AOL Gold Rush 2 Postponed
Tuesday 17th of July 2007
Disappointing news from AOL today that Gold Rush 2 will be postponed until next year at the earliest. Originally scheduled for fourth quarter of this year, this contest is being moved due to a lukewarm reception by advertisers. That is somewhat surprising due to the success of last year's contest, with close to 9 million participants, and the interactive advertisements which must be more successful than your standard TV commercial. We'll have to wait to see what happens to Gold Rush 2 and the rest of the scheduled AOL contests including Million Dollar Bill and iLand.

Disappointing, yes, but not to worry guys!! Stay tuned to the Winners Circle for games, fun, entertainment and prizes :)

We'll keep you busy until GR2 comes around!

 Found this stash from Allure magazine. At first glance it looks like a bunch of free samples, but on closer inspection the ones I looked at at least were entries to win the products.

Nice bunch of products though, so if you have a free hour, why not give it a try?

Last time Family Circle did something like this I won 3 things.

Good luck! 

Site of the Week, 7/30/07
Monday, July 30, 2007 8:41 AM

 This is a site everyone should know about it they don't already.

http://www.freecycle.org/

This is a site where people advertise things they are getting rid of, for FREE.

Don't throw it out - post it here first! This is a great way to recycle, and presumably a great way to pick up stuff for free too.

 Has anyone ever used it to successfully acquire or donate anything?

www.craigslist.com is also fabulous too because it's free to post ads on there, but of course not everything is being offered for free.
 

I have no winner still for the Ciara CD! No one likes Ciara? I'll give you guys until 6pm today to enter still. I'm looking for the 17th person to email me and tell me who the very first site of the week winner right here on Winners Circle.

Ok, fine you big babies, here's the link to help you out :)

Weekly Round Up 7/26/07
Friday, July 27, 2007 12:10 AM

I am still recouperating, but here's what I'd like to see and share:

1/ I'm hoping someone will post a run down of the Hunt Tribute game which our very own Soccer-ref won

2/ I'm hoping someone will post an update on the Ultimate search for Bourne and how we are going for sightings. Do we stand a chance of making 25 before this ends? I have a lot of catching up to do this weekend.

3/ I will not be choosing a site of the week winner for Monday, although if I am up to it I will see what I can find for you. I expect to return to offering prizes for good sites shared with us again soon.

4/ Blackchild reminded me of something. Shortly after we decided to join up on jellyfish Steeplemedia actually did win a wheel spin. It was before we had any referals, but regardless, it was a rubber chicken, which is why I had forgotten all about it! It is about the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life, but in the spirit of fairness, if you are interested in seeing the aforementioned rubber chicken be raffled off amongst jellyfish referrals, I will see to it that it is!

Let me know your thoughts via email sandi@steeplemedia.net and should we decide to raffle it off, I will let you know when and where you need to be to witness that draw :)

 

Finally thanks to EVERYONE who chipped in this week to make up my slack! You guys rock.

Tell you what, I can't leave you without a competition for the weekend!!

17TH PERSON WHO EMAILS ME AND CAN TELL ME WHO THE VERY FIRST SITE OF THE WEEK WINNER FEATURED ON WINNERS CIRCLE WAS WILL WIN THE CIARA CD "The Evolution".

(Hint - it was not that long ago, there have been 6 all up) 

Good Luck and have a great weekend!

Free Crunch bar,enter to win a Wii
Thursday, July 26, 2007 2:16 PM

Try around 9am (Pacific) each day for your chance to win a free crispy crunch bar, no strings attached.

Worse case scenario, you get a coupon for buy one get one free - which you can have them send you rather than print out if you want, just click on "having problems printing?"  button, and you can enter mailing address

Better yet, you can enter a sweep too for a chance to win a wii. Sweet!

 Since I am recovering, you are on your own :)

Enter all of these and let me know if you win anything.

Oh, I won again on the Sobe Coolatta instant - it's still really annoying, but I still highly recommend trying it 10 times. I have played 10 times now and won 2 x $5 Dunkin Donuts cards. Not bad. 

Someone play a couple games for me, would ya?

(This is a pre-recorded post. I will be back 'live' next week, most likely)
