When Is IGotNewsForYou Going Live?
Good question. And it's a question more and more people have been asking me. The pressure's on folks. We said April, didn't we?
Well that's still our goal, but we're now looking at the end of April. I know, I know, that's not terribly precise, but our list of things to do is still pretty long. I won't bore you with the details. We are getting there though.
Hang in there, hold on tight and get ready for the launch! (End of April, honest.)
A few things to remember:
1. The Funny Fake News Writing Contest is going strong. I'm still looking for more submissions, and hoping that people who submitted the first time do so again. I know you're out there crafting brilliant fake news, so send it along already! The prize package is growing, and I'm thinking of breaking it up into 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes - so there'll be more to go around!
2. Everyone that contributes a story to the writing contest will receive a 1 year FREE subscription to IGotNewsForYou. That'll allow you to send out as many pages as you like to friends, family, etc.
3. If you've got a prize you'd like to donate to the contest, please let me know. We've already got some great prizes from the likes of BlogBeat, Mark Rayner, Jim Estill and SnapShirts.com.
4. If you're interested in helping us promote the launch of IGotNewsForYou, please get in touch with me via email.
I'd like to thank everyone for their patience. I know the wait will be worth it, and you'll get a huge kick out of IGotNewsForYou once it's live.
