Thanks for the entries! I’m printing them out and my wife and I will choose a winner on the plane this afternoon. A winner will be announced either when I get back or (possibly) sometime this weekend if I have net access.

Hi there,

I came here via your trackback on Copyblogger- nice blog!

I just recently got turned on to Twitter with the CB 140-character contest, and I am finding it pretty cool.

By the way, as for the contest itself, I was getting fed up with trying to read all the entries, flicking back and forth between CB and twitter, so I put together an aggregated list where all entries can be viewed in one place. If you share the same frustration, you may want to check it out; just head over to my blog, a quick explanation and links to two different views are there.

Cheers,

Daniel Smith

Write a Story in 140 Characters…

Texting. Photo by drserg1.Want to win a 4gb iPod Nano? If you’re a Twitter user, write a story (preferably related to running) in 140 characters or less and link to it over at Run to Win. Sounds like fun…….
