Parting is such sweet sorrow and a twitter contest

Goodbye my love, you've served me well. We've been through so much together, I've walked all over you and still you've supported me. I guess I should mention that I'm talking about my Nike cross trainers and not a real person. I know I won't find another pair like them but I'm hopeful Dicks Sporting Goods will have a pair I like since they've offered to send me a little gift card to offset the price. Very helpful especially during tax season (don't ask, it hurts) and knowing I won't get my first paycheck from the new job for a month.

This is probably the best twitter contest I've ever heard of so I wanted to share it with you. Dicks Sporting Goods is having a fun twitter contest called Dicks Sporting Goods "Starting Lineup" Contest

Enter on Twitter (http://twitter.com/dickssportcmo) for a chance to become a member of Dick’s Sporting Goods “Starting Lineup."

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.

The 10 nominees with the most votes by March 31, 2010 win.

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

Sound like fun? Who should we nominate and all vote for? Let me know if you're nominating, I'll vote for you!!

  1. I know how you feel. I was in mourning for years when my Nike Air Rifts died. Still am, actually.
