Together with online shopping site WantItAll, Memeburn decided to give away this amazing prize to the person who could motivate on Twitter the best reason why they deserved to own a brand new iPad .
No ad to show here.
Readers had to complete this tweet: “#wantanipad from @memeburn & @wantitall_news becos…”. We received more than 310 tweets and quite a few Facebook Likes. You can see all the Tweets that were submitted here.
There were a couple of classic tweets that came close:
- @debbietagg: …becos, dead comp at home, no money, kids2feed, techgeek…
- @sindyLP: ….becos not having one makes me a sad Panda – and we’re endangered mind you!
- @maankind: becos… that is the only way I’ll EVER have something that is 9.7 inches…
- @quentinarendse: becos…it’ll impresses the heck out of the ladies
- @blikkies: becos…I almost dropped my iPhone in the toilet while reading.@ least the iPad won’t fit…
- @addamac: becos…I promise only to use my iPad to battle the forces of evil such as the PC!
- @_jason_stevens_: becos… I need a GIANT remote control for my TV. I am always losing mine!
There was this one too, which we thought funny, if not on the bizarre side: “@bokbites: becos…. Simple! So I can sit on the loo and prioritise my day while I Poo! 🙂 lol”
These were just some of the hilarious entries we received, but at the end of the day we settled on a Johannesburg-based journalist Georgina Guedes (@georginaguedes), who entered with a Twitter haiku that read:
“becos….innovative thing/ buzzing with the possible/ I touch and am touched”
… which was followed a few days later by:
“becos you can shrink Alice in Wonderland with a stroke of the screen.”
… and her third, and final, tweet:
“becos my ability to read at night without the lights on will save my marriage”.
Three great tweets from Georgina — which reveal an insomniac with a poetic soul who will use the iPad creatively and at the same time “save her marriage” — was in our view a winning formula.
Congratulations to Georgina Guedes from all of us at Memeburn and WantItAll!
