I have five iPhones to give away


Thanks to team Mahalo I have five iPhones to give away. Yes, I’m going to give these away in a Mahalo.com contest. I’m not sure exactly how to give them away. I was thinking about:

  1. a photoshop contest
  2. an easter egg contest where we hide something on a Mahalo page
  3. give one to each Part-time Guide in the Mahalo Greenhouse as they hit 100 completed search result pages (aka SeRPs).
  4. give them to whoever creates the best proposed Mahalo search result page (i.e. folks post to their blog their best search result for a creative topic they pick–our staff pick the best ones).

How do you think we should them away?!?! Looking for feedback.

  2. a photoshop contest. Photoshop is good.
    I have an idea.
    You can make a championship to create a new layout for this site.
    sorry, my english is boring, I’m brazilian, but I can create a new website layout for you.

  25. You should send to Brazil at least, better to me. Just kidding.
    Maybe you could ask some questions about what you like most,
    then we can answer. And you choose the winner.
    Obrigado (thank you)

  26. You should send it to Brazil, at least one directly to me.
    Just kidding.

    I think you should ask questions about something you like
    most, then we can try to please you like a king.
