Guess the Spam Contest

Posted by: Aaron Brazell
Woodlawn, MD, USA

Taken from a recent post on a forum elsewhere in the internet world, I am running a contest for a $20 gift certificate for iTunes or Amazon.com.

All you have to do is be the closest person (up or down) to guessing the amount of spam I recieve in my inbox for the month of June (Starting June 2 (today)).

Enter as many times as you like. No more than one guess per hour.

Good luck.

Aaron

      Be nice to know if there was anti-spam ;-)





      For the month? While I’m tempted to yell out 1 Dollar Bob, the rules are ‘up or down’, which isn’t any fun ;-)





      My guess? 5,506.

      Tooth decay eh. I have a small hole forming in an old cavity there the filling came out. Guess i’ll be getting it capped or something.





      Hopefully you don’t need a root canal :O

      Only anti-spam software running is on my client side and all it does is filter it to a different folder. ;)

        Twitter Pitch!

        <p>Twitter pitching is a form of pitch that requires succint "what does this mean for me" kind of pitching. It is the ultimate efficiency of words. You have 140 characters or less to tell me why your pitch matters to me or my readers. Please include a means of contacting you. This is included in your 140 characters. If you send successive pitches, you will likely be ignored, unless it's obvious that the first pitch was a case of "accidental send", etc.</p> <p>This form of pitching does not mean I'm being a diva. It means that my time is valuable, and you want a piece of it. It's good practice for you, and delivers your pitch in a format I want. Win-win.</p>
