Google Wave Giveaway

うみねこかれんだー by ハノ家具. See ‘Fur­ther reading’

The title rhymes and I’ve finally got my invit­a­tion cred­its from Google Wave. Now I can invite people to the beta test of this really mag­ni­fi­cent web applic­a­tion I slowly find my way into. What I’ve seen on web­design blogs I fol­low but haven’t seen on any anib­log are such giveaway posts, ask­ing people on Twit­ter instead, even though a giveaway post would be very use­ful to any blog­ger. Hav­ing told it on Twit­ter, Meflo­raine supposed:

Anib­log­gers are nicer? Or don’t think ahead as much?

For one I’m for both. They are nicer and they don’t think ahead. On the other hand, hav­ing a lim­ited amount of invit­a­tions avail­able, if one has more friends or people who ask to add them than they can invite, it can seem unfair to the ones left out who was picked at last. What I do right now is in this case more of a fair thing.

Namely, I go after the genes of my mer­chant grand-grandfather and cre­ate a win:win situ­ation. You leave a com­ment here (using the e-mail address the invit­a­tion should be sent to) and a ran­dom gen­er­ator script chooses 8 of you as win­ners. You get an invit­a­tion then.

I don’t hinder you on also sub­scrib­ing to our RSS feed, pro­mot­ing our art­icles on vari­ous social net­works and that like, although that isn’t the required cri­teria and won’t influ­ence the ran­dom generator.
