Contest: Who Wants Some CES Swag?
January 18th, 2010 by Michael Kwan
You might remember my E3 swag giveaway and my top thinker contest, among others, so you’ll know that it pays to read this blog. 
Do you want to win some more free stuff? I think you do!
What Can I Win?
So, what’s up for grabs this time around? In the picture above, you can see the following.
- Black t-shirt (Adult Large) from Roku

- 2GB credit card style USB flash drive from CoolerMaster
- Silicone protective case for Apple iPhone from TomTom
- Bonus pens from MichaelKwan.com and DotComPho.com
How Can I Enter?

- Subscribe to the email digest version of Beyond the Rhetoric. You’ll get the new blog posts delivered straight to your email inbox each day. Here is the subscription link.
- Follow me on Twitter and send out a tweet with a link to this contest. You will also need to post a comment on this post with a link back to your tweet so that I can best track the entries.
What Else Do I Need to Know?
The contest runs for one week, so you have until 10:59 a.m. PDT on January 25, 2010 to enter. Just about anyone in the world with reasonable access to a standard postal service is eligible.

Wow it’s CES Swag time on BTR again, how time flies!
With the exposure from Twitter, I’m sure this contest will be “over-subscribed” beyond the BTR community.
Lady Luck please smile at me this year, I’m so ready to win something from MK.

I think I’m blind and can’t see how to link a specific tweet
If you go to a Twitter feed (mine, yours, whoever) and look at a specific tweet, you’ll notice that the time stamp is a link. That’s the little text underneath that says something like “about 1 hour ago” or whatever. That’s the link to that specific tweet.
So, just to help you out Adam, here is you tweet: http://twitter.com/AlphaDrake/status/7956670953
[...] CES Swag Contest at BTR My Friend Michael Kwan is holding a contest to give away some of the swag he got at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). You have one week to enter, so you have until 10:59 a.m. PDT on January 25, 2010. I have won a few of his contests and have to say that his swag is pretty good. On top of that he writes a pretty mean blog that I think you would like to read. Want to get some of the CES swag? Click through to his blog Beyond the Rhetoric. [...]

Free swag time again? I always wonder if Kwan’s holding out on us and he keeps the really good stuff…
