Google Wave is a communication program aimed at making it easy and simple to collaborate with multiple people. There’s really no other way to describe it besides to direct you to my quick review on it or to point you to the site, which has a nice introductory video on Google Wave and what it’s about.

This giveaway is going to work a little different than the ones I’ve done in the past. To be submitted in this contest, you’ll need to do one of two things: tweet the post, or digg it.

1. Tweet this post!

All you’ll need to do to tweet this post is to click the big “Tweet this now!” button below, and clicking the “Update” button to post the tweet. Thats it! If you win, I’ll send you a message on twitter.

If you submit, I’ll follow you, so that’s an added bonus. Plus, if you post your twitter account name in the comments section, I’m sure other viewers would be happy to follow you.

Get on twitter, log in, and then click the image create a tweet with a link to this post. Its that easy!

2. Digg this post.

A horribly easy way to get another submission is to Digg this post. Again, all you have to do is click the big button below, and click “Digg this”.  Oh, and make sure you have a Digg account, too. You’ll need one of those. Reagardless, digging is really easy, and takes one click. Go for it! You might just win.

Come on. How much easier could it be? Heck, I’ll even give you a second submission if your comment is funny.

I’m going to do a giveaway on my 100th post (which is only a few posts away… I think I’m on my 95th or something) so keep posted!

Ok. Enough chit chat. The winners are…

Themecreator and Milkman!

I hope you guys spend your tickets wisely… send me a screenshot with your character and whatever it is you bought and I’ll post it on my site. Thanks a ton for playing, and I wish you guys the best of luck. You’ll be receiving emails with a code shortly (Themecreator, you might have yours already).

I also announced the winners of the contest on the podcast I’m helping to produce, JustJumpIn. You can check it out at http://justjump.in. Look for episode 3 (which I just recorded); its the episode that I mention the winners.

Once again, thanks everyone!

I’m writing this post because I have to push the deadline back to next Monday. I am on vacation without any wifi (except for this unfortunate person’s house I managed to pick up) and wont be able to do all the tallies just yet… Anyways, thank  you for participating, and hang in there!

I’ve found a way to get google voice invites! And its really simple, too, if you’re funny enough. Thats right; the Google Voice Team is willing to give you a beta invite personally if you call their hotline (posted on their twitter account) and tell them something funny. Thats it! If they laugh, they’ll send you  a beta key. Simple as that! No waiting, no pleading, and no angst. You can get all the fantastic features of Google Voice, like cheap long distance calls, group ringing, visual voicemail, messag recording, and voicemail transcribing. I’m writing up a Google Voice review now… and trust me, this is something you can’t pass up.

Well, Whats the Number?
(408) 72-VOICE. Thats it! Just call it, and leave something funny. Don’t believe me? Here is the original tweet, direct from twitter;

We’re checking our (408) 72-VOICE invite hotline for funny vmail msgs, and sending out more invites next week to a select few!

And there you have it! Start making some serious (-ly funny) phone calls. Good luck!

So that people stop asking me, this giveaway has officially been closed as of July 17th, 2009. I’m so sorry to disappoint anyone. If you want to see who the winners are, check here.

What is Battlefield Heroes?

To compete with the tons and tons of free online first person shooters that have been cranking out, like “FEAR Online,” “Combat Arms,” and “Guns,” EA threw out “Battlefield Heroes” to not only compete, but to appease the throngs of Battlefield fans who were still disgruntled from Battlefield: Bad Company not being released on PC. I, being one of these people, was happy to see that EA had provided some sort of compensation. The game is a cartoon shooter, and is totally free. Its (STILL) in closed beta *sigh* but I was lucky enough to get an invite key earlier on. Regardless, there’s been an update recently, and with it came a coupon for 200 BattleFunds. Nice. Seeing as I don’t really want it, I’m going to give it away, along with an additional one I managed to dig up. Thats right… I’mgettin Read on to find out how to get the coupon!

Battlefield Heroes has been updated, fixing a TON of all the issues and adding a load of new features I’ve been wanting to see. Read on for ALL the updates (plus how to get a coupon for 200 BattleFunds (BF’s).

So, What are these Updates, exactly?

Friends System
Battlefield Heroes has been in need of a friends system. The only thing similar to it before was a really useless box on the home page saying “Join a friends game! Type their name here,” which always, always returned an error. Grh. Now, you can add friends, and everyone gets a profile page, displaying achievements, weapons, and even your character”s clothing. Nice. Of course, “Groups,” the name for the stereotypical clans, guilds, etc. etc. And with a friends system comes a Leaderboard, meaning that if you are the best player EVER, everyone will know about it. You can now search for other people as well, a feature which was attempted before, but didn’t work out for some strange reason. Thats about it, on the friend respect.

Battlefield Store Updates
The store has only allowed users to rent items previously. Now, at the right price, you can buy items perminantly. Cool. This keeps me from buying a ton of items, losing all my money, and then taking a week break from the game, only to come back and find myself broke and itemless. For now, however, this is only good for Battlefund appearence items and emotes, so unless you’re willing to pay for the items in cash, you’re sstuck. Lastly, there is now a coupon system out that gives users the opportunity to find discounts, credits, and even weapon unlocks on various sites or sweepsteakes.

The Giveaway! 2 Coupons, each worth 200 BF!

I want to give someone 200 BattleFunds. Two people, in fact. I have 2 coupons, each worth 200 BattleFunds. I figure this is a good way to get me hits, and to give someone something to play around with for a while. These aren’t the credits you can find in-game…. they can ONLY be obtained via cash. So, if you want 200 Battlefunds, you can do one of the following to enter the sweepstakes:

• Just post a comment! – 1 submission (Easiest way!)
• Tweet about this post- 1 submission
• Follow me, either by email or RSS – 1 submission
• Add me to a social network (Facebook, Delicious.com, etc) – 1 submission
• Donate 100 Entrecard Credits-2 submissions
• Review my site on your blog – 3 submissions
• Post a link for my site on yours – 3 submissions
• Post an ad for my site on yours -5 submissions.

Every submission is like a ticket to win. The more you do, the more chances you have to win. On July 17th, I’ll collect all the submissions and select 2 at random. Yes, you can win both. The more you promote this contest, the more likely you are to win, so get cracking! Good luck, everyone!
