Wikigiz has been launched for 6 months, total of 243 posts, 60,000+ page impressions and gave away 4 prizes (including the 4GB USB+ $20 that just won). This is way beyond my initial expectation! As a thank you to our regular website visitors, I’m giving away more prizes.

Currently, I have 30 RSS Email Subscribers, still pretty low for a 6 month old blog. For getting more people involved and to leverage the number of RSS Email Subscribers, simply enter your email address using the form below or the right hand side by June 30, 2008. Or write an article about this blog and send me the url by June 30, 2008 to be eligible for one entry - multiple entries by the same person is allowed!

1 person will get $50 cash (via paypal)
1 person will get a 4GB USB Drive (Sponsored by Flitech - my neighborhood computer store)
1 person will get a featured ad 125×125 on this site (1 Year term)
Good luck!

I received emails that asked me how they could win from this blog. There’s no secret, I encourage you to visit the site more frequently especially when the meter reached above 90% and subscribe to my RSS. For example, this particular post depicts that the meter is 92%, you know this from your inbox or RSS reader! Some readers only check out the main page (wikigiz.com) but did not click on any subpages, links or leave a comment. They have just missed out the opportunity to trigger the Gizmo-meter!

The Gizmo-meter reacts to any actions like Google Ads, leave a comment and page views within a degree. To prevent abuse of the blog, refreshing a page many times will NOT increase your chances or deliberately making comments to multiple posts in a short time.

The quality of the prizes are directly proportional to the amount this blog earned. Since we made a record high profit of $246.28 last month, let see what’s the coming up gift. It may surprised you. Good Luck!

More explanation from the previous post.

As I’m writing this post, the meter reached 99% that means the $20 Best Buy card will be giving out any moment!

I’m excited to announce that we have another Giveaway! We have a sponsor!
Canada Computers is willing to sponsor us with a Kingston 4GB USB Drive! It takes a bit of work for me to get this prize. Thanks to my friend who employed at Canada Computers and he referred me to one of the sales managers. After numerous talks, I’m able to get my hands on this product

Not enough? Ok, I’m going to throw in $20 (via PayPal) as well! This $20 bonus came from the $203.57 that we made from Google Adsense in the January 2008 Report.

Thank You for your continuing support and I hope you don’t mind the multiple Ads being displayed on this site as this is our main source of income!

How to win? Check out the Gizmo-meter for details.

Today I received lots of emails regarding the Gizmo-meter. I just want to clarify that when the meter reached 100%, meaning the prize could be triggered any moment! (Could be the next minute or 1 hour or 12 hour) You will see a Big Red Box at the top of the site if You’re a Lucky Winner. You can’t miss it, the notification box will be shown for a little while during your session. (prevent refreshing the page by accident) Keep visiting the site for a greater chance to win.

If you’re on a budget and would like to get a Cool Christmas gift for your nephew or some kids, I strongly recommend this amazing toy! Picoo Z The remote controlled helicopter fits comfortably into the palm of your hand weighing a mere 10g. (Due to the super lightweight design, indoor is the only option) A 20 minute charge direct from the controller gives 10 minutes flight time with flashing lights. It’s robust yet light polypropylene structure makes it easy to fly and extremely robust.

Once you have mastered the Picoo Z (it’s hard to get the hang of it initially), the more competitive amongst you may want to try challenging another two of your friends to a PicooZ race or sky battle, made possible with their tri-band technology (Up to 3 Simultaneous Planes in the air).

Combine all this with an auto-stability system and precision speed; the PicooZ is quite simply superb.

I picked up one from Wal-mart for $19.99CDN

One thing that’s kind of disappointed is the bulky remote control, it is a bit oversized if I’m a kid or teen.
