See You After The Half! For Now, a Twitter Contest.

I have so much I want to write — and my NYC Half Marathon on Sunday — but work has been so busy and stressful that I just don’t have the energy right now. I did want to tell you all about a very cool content that Dick’s Sporting Goods is holding on my favorite website of all time, the Twitters. I don’t even have to write this, they wrote it all for me:

Enter on Twitter for a chance to become a member of Dick’s Sporting Goods “Starting Lineup.” If you are one of 10 winners, you get to test out new products for Dick’s Sporting Goods!

FAQs:

What does it mean to be on the “Starting Lineup”?

  • A chance to try out and preview new products
  • A spot on an online panel of experts for one season (for approximately 3 months)
  • Access to exclusive online surveys
  • A chance to sound off on all things sports

How does someone try for a chance to be on the “Starting Lineup”?

  • Follow http://twitter.com/dickssportcmo.
  • Vote for yourself (or someone else) by telling @dickssportcmo who should be on the “Starting Lineup” and why. Sample Tweet: “@dickssportcmo my vote is for @TwitterID because…”
  • Recruit others to do the same.
  • You can only vote for the same person once per day, but you can vote for multiple people in the same day.

*Make sure you’re following @dickssportcmo or your vote won’t count!

The 10 nominees with the most votes by March 31, 2010 win. More details on their Facebook page. This is a very cool contest, so I hope you all have some fun with it. As far as I’m concerned, everything is fun on Twitter. Time to crash.

Disclaimer: I received a $50 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift card in exchange for this promotion

The next time you hear from me, I will be a full year older and a half marathon wiser.
