TechCrunch’s Google Nexus Giveaway !
So my favorite technology blog TechCrunch announced today that they were giving away a brand new Google Nexus to one lucky person who retweeted their blog post OR posted a comment about why they deserved to win one. This seems to have set off a tsunami of Retweets (6380 as I write this) and a veritajble flood of comments (2809 as of now). The contest ends at Noon PST tomorrow (Jan 6, 2010) - so expect those numbers to swell even more.
Intrigued by the hype and promise of the Nexus I thought it could be the perfect antidote to cure my Iphone envy. So just for fun I took Arrington’s bait and decided to take the plunge. And yes folks, this pretty much … ahem… locks me in for the first spot to win the phone as who can resist a good old, funny limerick, right ? 
So (drum roll…) here it is (originally posted on TechCrunch here …)
* Kugel (pronounced koogel) is a baked Jewish pudding or casserole most commonly made from egg noodles (lochshen kugels) or potatoes, served as a side dish. ( from wikipedia)
And in case TechCrunch thinks I am all talk with rhyme but no reason - I will go on record to guarantee that if I do ever win the Nexus I will find a restaurant that serves the Kugel for lunch, order it for the first time and Tweet about it from my Nexus ! How is that for commitment to a cause ?
