We’ve updated the give away to include an Apple iPad!

We’re giving away almost $1000 worth of software, gadgets and swag to our loyal Twitter friends. Here’s the original video explaining what we’re doing (and also introducing myself) before we launched the new website.


 
Here’s what we’re giving away:

It’s pretty simple. You need to follow @orangeapple AND @upthemes and tell other people to follow as well.

That’s it.

We’ll then pick a follower at random using TwitRand after select follower numbers (250, 500, 1000, 2500, etc) are reached with the Mac Mini or iPad being given away once we hit 10k followers! It’s up to you – all you have to do is tell your friends.

You can use this link to tweet:

Follow @orangeapple & RT this msg for your chance to win a Mac Mini, @upthemes package and more! http://ow.ly/10Rny

 
What do you think – sound cool? Let us know.

  • Update: Feb 2
    Congratulations @joannaonthelake & @ich3ryl22 – their Iconfactory Ollie birds are in the mail.
  • Update 2: Feb 9
    Congratulations to @asktheboater. She opted for an Apple gift card instead of the Magic Mouse or The Woo Themes Dev package.
  • Update 3: March 1
    Congratulations to @endcycle, @ChristopherUK & @Josh_Smith. Each of them just won an ExpanDrive license courtesy of @ExpanDrive!
  • Update 4: March 10
    We passed the 1000 mark! Since this is a WordPress specific give-away (WooThemes), I think it’s best if we pick someone from the comments below. If have a WordPress blog can use custom themes, let us know.
  • Update 5: March 17
    A simple random number choice has commenter, Grant, winning the WooThemes Developer package. Congrats Grant!
  • Update 5: April 28
    We passed the 1500 mark! Woohoo! important: Don’t forget to also follow @upthemes.
