MySpace Already Paying Dividends. JonBoy Donates a Book of Limericks to the Writing Contest!
Yesterday, I posted about my MySpace profile and my experiment with it. I contacted a bunch of people and within the span of a few hours I had 40+ friends, some of which came to my profile and commented, others which contacted me directly.
I noticed that one of those friends, jonBoy (as he's known on MySpace) had written a book, called "What is a Limerick?"
He looks like a funny guy, and the book looks like fun, so I sent him a comment asking if he'd be interested in donating a prize to IGotNewsForYou.com's Fake Funny News Writing Contest.
A couple of messages back and forth through MySpace, and voila, jonBoy donates his book. Easy as pie and a great addition to the prizes we already have!
The best way to read up on his book (and if you want to buy it!) is to check out his profile at authorhouse. You can buy the book directly from there and I think it could be a fun, unique gift for someone into limericks, poetry and silliness.
I want to thank jonBoy (whose real name is Jonathan Dean) for donating the book, and take this time to thank all of the people donating prizes.
This is also a good time to remind people that I extended the duration of the contest to July 14th to allow people the time to get their submissions in. So submit your funny, fake news stories as soon as you can!
