DoubleClick Sudoku Keychain Game

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Now that we’ve finished showcasing our Google Fridge in Dan’s super awesome contest, it’s time to return to our regularly scheduled programming. We’ll be reviewing the entries this week and a winner will be chosen next week. After learning how much it costs, I must say I’m sad that I was not eligible to enter 🙂 But moving on…

At SES San Jose, DoubleClick (you know, the company that got acquired by Google) was handing out this Sudoku keychain game. I haven’t played it yet but the concept is a good one.

By the way, the backdrop for this picture is my Google beanbag chair. It serves multiple purposes. How nifty.

Schwag Addict Contest: Win a Google Fridge

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Golfer and Internet Marketer Dan Perry has an awesome ton piece of schwag he wants to give away. Sure, I want it (I’m not going to lie), but instead, we decided it would be in all fairness to start the first Schwag Addict contest.

The winner gets a box…

Google Fridge Box

Inside that box is a really awesome fridge:

Google Fridge: Innards

Want to see more? Watch the whole video in its entirety and you’ll see how amazing this fridge is (and I still won’t lie. I want it!)

So, how can you win this?

Create a blog post or page on your website that links back to Dan Perry’s official post on the contest so that he gets a trackback and knows you’re in the running. Then, leave a comment on this post to let solidify your vote. What’s the entry? Explain what you’d do with a Google Fridge. The most creative answer (even if you don’t actually apply these creative skills) wins.

In case you missed that, there are 2 steps:

  1. Create a page that links to Dan’s contest on his blog explaining what you’d do with a Google Fridge.
  2. Write a comment here letting us know that you’ve entered in the contest.

We have 4 judges for the contest, so the more unique your answer is, the better your chances are to win a piece of Cooler Thinking in your car (yes, this baby is portable), office, or kitchen. The contest will run until Monday, January 14th. Until then, think hard, write your blog post, and maybe you’ll win a piece of serious awesome Google schwag from the very generous Dan.

Good luck, and may the most creative entry win!

Update January 15: Hey guys. The contest is now closed. We’ll be announcing winners next week. Thanks for your entries!

Think Partnership Keyboard Cleaner

Friday, January 4th, 2008

The Think Partnership online marketing agency gave out a pretty cool keyboard cleaner at one of the most recent conferences. As you can see, there’s a brush that can be accessed when you push down a button. The bristles feel a bit funny, though.

Findology Back Massager Looks Like its Logo

Friday, January 4th, 2008

If you’ve been to the Findology Search Portal website, you’ve no doubt seen the molecule style logo that defines the search site. Well, they’ve gone a step further and created a back massager that is built in the style of their logo. This is one of the only companies in my experience of swag collecting that really was able to turn their logo into a piece of memorabilia. Here’s a picture of what it looks like (in case you haven’t seen it, but they’re really at every conference!)
