“Tweet This” Contest

“Use discount code [sample] for 30% off a Web 2.0 Expo New York conference pass—discount ends October 30! #w2e”

Tweet this sentence to enough of your friends, and you could earn a deeply discounted or free full-price Web 2.0 Expo New York conference pass. Every time someone buys a conference pass using your personalized discount code (which we will send you), you get an additional 10% off the cost of a full-price pass. That’s on top of the 30% discount we will give you for participating.

Here’s how to play:

• Sign up for the contest at the bottom of this post (scroll down, please!). All we need is your name and an email address to send you a personalized code.

• Tweet the discount code we give you to your followers so they can sign up using it.

• Kick back and let us do the rest of the work. We’ll contact you the week of November 1 to tell you how many people signed up using your code… and also to tell you how much money will be shaved off your conference pass.

If you already have a conference pass, you’re still more than welcome to participate. Although the credits you accrue will not work toward the pass you already purchased (retroactively that is), you will be able to earn another deeply discounted or fully paid-for pass for a friend or colleague. You can also use your credits toward an Expo conference in 2010. One last thing—although we think Twitter is the easiest way for you to spread this deal, there is no restriction as to where you can post your code! Feel free to email your friends or post it on your Facebook account.

We are limiting this contest to the first 100 people who apply – so hurry! The discount code you are given will only work through October 30, so the sooner you start spreading the word the better.

Post any questions in the blog comments section or message us @w2e on Twitter.

Good luck!

Congrats to Michael Galpert. And thanks for playing all.

I’m a fangirl. I admit it. Icanhascheezburger is my homepage. Why? Because it’s hilarious. LOLOLOLOL!

So during an afternoon brainstorm session the team here thought it might be fun to see what LOLspeak our community would be able to come up with for some of our photos…

We created an album on Facebook and we’re offering the person with the best caption complimentary 3 nights hotel stay in San Francisco during Web 2.0 Expo.

Contest Outline:

1. Select one of the photos provided in this album

2. Save and upload image onto the LOLbuilder

3. Create caption, save image, upload to Facebook fan page!

Notes:
Deadline is Wednesday, March 11th. Announcement on Friday, March 13th.

You must register to attend Web 2.0 Expo to win the hotel stay.

Personally, my LOLspeak is horrible, but one can keep aspiring to be great!

As a side note, Ben Huh CEO of Pet Holdings, Inc., the company behind I Can Has Cheezburger?, FAIL Blog and others was a keynote during Web 2.0 Expo New York. Here’s his video. You can also watch other keynotes on our channel: web2expo.blip.tv

Update: If you’ve already registered for the conference we can’t back-apply the 40% discount. However, you can share it with a friend. If you’ve registered for an Expo Pass, please use the discount for any upgrades. Thanks!

What’ll be Web 2.0 Expo’s community surprise this week?

Well, we’ll be running a series of Twitter contests so keep an eye (or feed) open for our questions. We’re theming our first set of questions on the fabulous roster of speakers we’ve got lined up for Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco this spring.

So to start, if you can guess the answer to this question, @w2e or DM us with your answer and you’ll get a DM back with the registration code for 40% off.

Q. Who could once whistle at the exact pitch of a 1200 baud modem?

I’ll give you a hint… start here.
