T-Shirt design winner!

A lot of you have voted on the XboxTweet T-Shirt design entries, and I followed your votes by declaring the winner to be ...

...

BOTH Doney and Paaaaaaaaaaul!

The votes were too close to make one design stick out (20 vs. 21) so I've decided to declare both entries to be a winner. Doney and Paaaaaaaaaaul, please send me a DM on twitter with your email addresses, so we can get these shirts to the printer and, more important, to you.

Contratulations!

Twazzup invites, grab one while you can!

For a while, I've been using Twazzup as a Twitter client and am enjoying it very much! Now the fine folk of Twazzup have granted me with 100 invites to try out their beta client (it's web-based)!

So, follow this link and sign up while you can.

And of course, let's all thank @sphilipakis for handing out the invites to us.

New poll: URL shorteners

Again, I'll throw a poll at you guys. Since the beginning, XboxTweet has been using TinyURL to shorten the xboxtweet.com links, but is this what you want?

The poll consists of four choices: Switch to bit.ly (the popular service); keep tinyurl; some other service (please explain in the comments why it beats all the others) and the last option is for those of you that can't care less, as long as it works ;-)

So, Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, may we have your votes please?

Be creative, win a shirt!

As the latest poll showed, at least some of us XboxTweet'ers want T-Shirts. So here we go! Another contest! Currently I'm looking at Zazzle as printer / provider (but suggestions are welcome).

Here's what you need to do: Download a guide file and design a cool XboxTweet T-Shirt!

What can you win? The winner will get the shirt he or she designed, and of course the winning design will be available for everyone else! Your design might end up on shirts in 30+ countries!

If I find more than one stunning design, I'll choose more than one winner ;-)

So, get creative and start designing! Mail your designs to support [at] xboxtweet [dot] com, or better yet, upload it somewhere and post a link here in the comments. Do this before March 1st to be able to win.

Happy Designing!

Fine print: of course you'll have to agree to allow XboxTweet to use your design.

XboxTweet merch?

Recently we've welcomed SLai23 as our 2500th active user and he was quick to respond with:

"all right! does that mean I get a t-shirt or something? lol"

Besides eternal fame, there's little I could offer, but it got me thinking. Why don't we have XboxTweet shirts? It'd be a heck of a lot easier to hand out with new contests and hey, it's just cool!

So I've added a poll on this website, asking for your thoughts on XboxTweet merchandise. If enough people are interested, we might even get some merch!

Please vote :-)

... I feel a design contest coming up ;-)
