This Week in Startups Review Contest!

Friday, August 28th, 2009

What, a contest you say?  For just writing a simple review?

Yep!

The rules are pretty straightforward : You write a review of TWiST episode #13.  What did you like?  What didn’t you like?  Great episode of TWiST or GREATEST episode of TWiST?  Just lay it all down in a blog post.

What’s the contest aspect?

Jason is giving away a $500 dollar iPhone gift card to the BEST review.  That means you can get an iPhone without giving Apple and Crazy (talented) Steve Jobs your first born!

Post it on your blog, or start a new blog and let TWiST be the first review, either way, email us a copy at contact@thisweekinstartups.com (so Jason knows where to look).

Write an awesome review, and get a brand new iPhone 3G S, and a few months of service.  Simple, right?

Now get crackin’!
