I am telling you: These giveaways totally and absolutely beat Lipton’s bike giveaways!!
The 31 Days of the Dragon is a promotion between 31 participating web sites, with the sponsorship of HP.
HP is working with those websites offering 31 prize packages - one a day for 31 days during a period from 09 May through 08 June 2008.
Don’t panic! I, too, felt really bad about missing 8 of these giveaways, but I keep telling myself that there are still many to come. And I might just be lucky to win one of them. Who knows…
Each participating website will have its own competition with its own HP HDX Dragon Entertainment Notebook loaded with features and software (valued at $5000+). I checked the past giveaways and they all had different rules. Some required active participation in some forum, and some required some deep research in the hosting blog to answer some specific questions about the bloggers behind it.
As far as I gather, each contest runs on a week period, and only on the date of its start, does a blog/website announce its rules. We might see one of them require blog posting, if that was not done already.
Keep an eye on the list of the websites hosting these giveaways on the 31 days of the dragon website.
