WTG guys! Nice idea! Already set my reminder!

 

i like the sound of that!
ill be keeping up with it!

 

Just and FYI for you guys, Blizzard has stated that their Twitter StarCraft contest is being way underutilized. Supposedly if they ended the contest now there would still be keys left over so make sure you participate!

 

nice!! good stuff man =]

 

Anyone heard back from this 'contest'?

They said they'd let people know over the next two weeks. I wasn't sure if that meant they'll let a few people know each day or if at some point in the next two weeks they'd let all 500 winners know.

Hopefully the participation remained low to increase chances :yes:

 

So I take it there were no winners here? :wacko:

 

I haven't heard anything back on this whatsoever. I've contacted Blizzard about it...

 

BlizzLive.com really turned out to be quite a failure. I'm disappointed. SCLegacy's forum has had more coverage so far and that's from one or two topics.

 

Yeah didn't turn out to be the best option for joint coverage. But you can't blame us for lack of effort! Don't forget that this BlizzCon lacked SC2 news in general.

 

You have a point there. Still, I expected Blizzlive to be some sort of compilation site. You know, news stories that were posted on each site, all in one place. Until now, my RRS feed of Blizzlive is stuck at 0, while the seperate sites all have articles.

 

Yeah this is kind of typical of collaborative coverage. At some point one of the sites decides to break off and do it on their own.

Not defending my own actions, I did it too. LOL
