The HP Magic Giveaways Begin!

Posted on 28 November 2008 by


Ready…Set…GO!

The table below lets you know when each of the 50 sites in the HP Magic Giveaway will be conducting their individual contests.

Worth noting are that from November 28 through December 16 there will be a certain number of sites a day going live with their rules, and from December 4 through December 22 there will be a certain number of sites a day announcing winners.

It is going to be pretty darn difficult to keep up with every site, but at least you’ll have one week to enter each contest. We’ll do our best to feature the three sites and their individual rules as they go live each day, and of course you all will want to mark December 4th on your calendars – as that is the day Gear Diary will start our giveaway.

Are you ready? :mrgreen:

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford

    HP (or whoever organizes the contest) should have mandated that every site that is participating has an “ENTER HERE” (readily identifiable button) that visitors could click.

    While I love the folks blabber that some of these sites run (for pages and pages) — I’m a bit perplexed when it comes down to the big question…

    TELL ME HOW TO ENTER ON YOUR DAMN SITE

    I am going to try to keep up with it everyday. I may fall a bit behind the 8th through the 11th, since that is when I will be in Seattle for Mobius, but maybe I can get you to do it those days. ;-) :lol:

    Amazing contest!!! I know I am in need of an upgrade, and we have a family that lost everything in a fire, here at work, and they would be great to share with.
