Wizbang Tech PS3 Christmas Giveaway - Day One (WizbangTech)

Yesterday we announced the Wizbang Tech Christmas PS3 Giveaway. In case you've forgotten what we're giving away, it looks like this...

Here's how it works:

Every day there's a new way to way to enter. Each day we'll post a new assignment, which you are eligible to participate in. There's no cost to you, and most tasks are ridiculously simple. From the pool of eligible applicants who successfully complete the task before the next assignment we'll randomly choose one person as a finalist. Each day a new name will be picked from the previous assignment and another name will be added as a finalist. There's all sorts of different tasks planned and you can attempt all, some or none of the - although you'll have a hard time winning without at least making an effort...

By the final drawing day (Dec. 15) there should be approximately 25 finalists. From that pool of finalists we'll draw one lucky winner who we will attempt to reach via e-mail. If we can't connect with that person within 24 hours we'll pick another winner, and keep repeating the process until we make contact with our winner. The unit will be shipped to arrive before Christmas, so prompt response to our winner notification e-mail is necessary.

Anyway, that's it in a nutshell. Full contest rules will be posted and linked before tomorrow's finalist selection.

Assignment #1: Add Wizbang to your Technorati favorites.

Add to Wizbang to your Technorati Favorites

Kevin:

Each blog at Technorati has a tab that shows who has "favorited" it. For the first assignment the group of Technorati users that has "favorited" Wizbang will be the pool of entries.

Other assignments will have different requirements.
