Win a free Google Wave invite.

Google Wave is the new craze over the Web. The new communication tool is as interesting as promised and many a company are thinking about switching from their own internal collaboration tool to Google Wave even if the latter is still in Beta/Preview. So people are all running after the wave which is currently looking more like a tsunami than the simple caressing ripples we usually get on our Mauritian shores. Why? @webmastergeek showed me that the Google wave invites were even on sale for nearly $50 on ebay.

As usual the Web Design Bureau of Mauritius will not be doing things like everybody else does! Here things are free and offered. Just ask all the winners we’ve had over the past months, everybody’s happy. Now, let’s wave together.

The new craze, Google Wave

15 Google Wave invites to be won!

Now, this one will be short and quick. You want a free Google Wave invite? Just enter the contest here on the Web Design Bureau of Mauritius. The terms first. The contest will last 10 days as from today the 26th of October 2009. Thus ending on Wednesday 4th of November 2009 at midnight. 15 (fifteen) wave invites will be immediately sent to the winners after random listing. The contest is open to EVERYBODY. Here are the different options you have to enter the contest, just do one or both of these:

  1. Write a post on your blog talking about this contest (it does not have to be a long one) linking back to the Web Design Bureau of Mauritius and then put a link to that post in the comments here.
  2. Tweet about this contest on your Twitter profile with a link to the Web Design Bureau of Mauritius and then put a link to that Tweet in the comments here.

Really easy huh. Just for precision, only those comments abiding by the above rules will be entering the competition. Up to you now.

And another word, check out Zack’s superb article on the new Google Wave Haters… a real must!

EDIT

I am not the only one giving these invites away. Maximize your chances by participating on all these sites:

Mauritians win again for the 200th post.

Win a 1 year Rapidshare Premium Account!

This post is the 200th post of the Web Design Bureau of Mauritius. It was rather unexpected that the previous post had to be the contest winners announcement. So, I thought that we could not go by the Mauritian web design reference blog’s 200th post without something special. Here it is then. We can’t just let this great moment go by without doing anything. You are therefore in for a new give away contest. This new bash will surely catch the attention of non web designers.

The subtitle is enough yeah? I’ll be offering a 1 year (365 days) Rapidshare Premium Account worth 55€/approx Rs 2500.

Here are the rules then:

  • Click on the Tweet button at the end of the article to retweet it.
  • Post a message on your facebook page about this contest.

  • If none of the above catches your attention, you might as well read my other blog: Wait For It…

How to win?

  • Post a comment in KREOL on how you would like the Internet to change in Mauritius (facebook, websites, social media, twitter, high speed Internet….).
  • As usual, the contest lasts for 1 month, ending on the 24th of October 2009.

Now go for it people and make it a success… for you!
