Be one of the first to own a new Amazon Kindle 2

Help us alpha test Swattr and you could win an Amazon Kindle 2. It's just our little way of saying "Thanks" for helping us innovate Swattr into the best Twitter tool on the planet.

How the contest works:

  • Signup and start using Swattr to kill the noise on Twitter. (Requires a Twitter and Facebook account.)
  • Be one of the top 50 users with the highest average SwarmKarma by April 4th, 2009.
  • The person with the highest profile swarmkarma will win an Amazon Kindle 2. The next 50 runner-ups will be given a very cool Swattr shirt. (Read the Official Rules here.)



So even if you don't win the Kindle you may still get a sweet T-shirt. Nice deal.

Get started by creating an account and increase your chances of winning by simply using Swattr and increasing your SwarmKarma. SwarmKarma is a rank based on performance. The more good stuff you do for the swarm, the higher your karma. It's kind of like a credit score of the value you bring to the swarm.

Why we are doing this: We need smart, creative and innovative Twitter users to truly test our Swattr tool and provide us feedback. Because it is an alpha product, there are still some kinks to be worked out. So to motivate people to test the waters and as a way to say thanks, we are giving away the Kindle.
