It’s week 2 of “NAME THAT SAMPLE!”
Week 1 was pretty fun … we had some great guesses (and some not so great ones) … but all guesses/entries are encouraged.
This one is definitely a hard one. Whoever guesses correctly first will win a 1GB ASPEX USB STICK. (winner will be contacted via email) AND a $50 Giftcard to Amazon.com (we’re upping the stakes on this one since no oone has guessed correctly in over a week.)
Just comment below with your guess! The contest was supposed to end on Friday, but since no one has guessed correctly, we’re going to let it run for a few more days ..
UPDATE: December 19, 2009 – Noone has guessed correctly. A few people have come pretty close though. Let the guesses keep coming in!
UPDATE: December 22, 2009 – WE HAVE A WINNER! or someone that has answered pretty close … we will announce it later today! Our next NAME THAT SAMPLE campaign will start TONIGHT!
