Have you been enjoying Multiply's new Audio/Video Reply feature?

If you answered no, could it possibly be because you haven't tried it yet? And if you indeed haven't tried it yet, could it perhaps be that you don't have a webcam from which to leave a video comment? That's terrible!

If so, there's no need to be sad; we have just the solution for pulling yourself out of your webcam-less funk – to celebrate our new Audio/Video Reply feature, Multiply is giving away ten Logitech QuickCam Messengers!


If you'd like to win one, here's what you've got to do:

1. Ask a friend of yours who already owns a webcam to come to this blog entry and nominate you by leaving a video comment. (Perhaps send them a Personal Message? Maybe post a blog entry asking all of your contacts?)
   
2. If their video comment is among those randomly selected, you win your own webcam!
3. (There is no step three!)
   

Increase your chances of winning a camera by getting more people to nominate you!
To make this easier, perhaps paste the following HTML code to easily get your friends here:



If you'd like to help a friend win one, just:

1. Post a video reply to this blog entry nominating them.
   
2. In this video, make sure to hold up a piece of paper with the user ID of the user you're nominating. (Remember their user ID is the first part of their site's URL: http://userID.multiply.com/. Also, make sure the user ID appears clearly in the video; we need to be able to read it. :-)
   
3. If your nomination video is the one selected, they win a webcam... and you get a Multiply t-shirt!
   
4. (There is no step four!)
   

Each user is only allowed to nominate one other user, though you're free to get as many people as possible to nominate you. So if you're nominating someone, make sure to pick your favorite friend! ;-)

The contest runs for two weeks (from now until 11:59 PM ET on 12/26; see this in your time zone), so don't wait!

We're pretty sure you already love Multiply, and now that we've made sharing your videos about as easy as pie, you're probably looking for every excuse you can find to make and post new videos to Multiply.

So we'll give you another one.
We're thrilled to announce the

I LOVE MULTIPLY

VIDEO CONTEST

We'll assume for a minute that you, in fact, do love Multiply.
Consistent with that, we'd love to hear why!
(And yes, in the form of a short video would be great.)

It's easy:

Step 1: Check to see if your digital camera or cell-phone can take video. (If you're not sure, contact us and we'll try to help you figure it out.) If it doesn't grab a friend's so you can win one that does!

Step 2: Shoot a video of yourself telling everybody why you love Multiply. Be funny. Be serious. Be honest. Or, heck... you can even lie if you want. But make sure your video is between 15 and 60 seconds in length.

Step 3: Upload the video to your Multiply site; making sure to tag it "I Love Multiply" (without the quotes, please). Also, make sure it's posted with "Everyone" access, so we (and everyone else) can see it!

Step 4: Tell your friends to submit their videos. (Yeah, this isn't a requirement, but it'll definitely make things more fun.)

That's it! To get things going, the first 25 people to upload a suitable video will receive a Multiply t-shirt. They're great (even we wear them!), but they're not the real prize.

Three lucky Grand Prize winners will be chosen at random to receive brand spanking new Casio Exilim digital cameras.

They take photos. And videos. And Multiply just so happens to be the perfect place to share both -- and the rest of your digital creations!

So just remember -- tag your videos I Love Multiply and share them with the world!

Sorry, the contest is only open to U.S. residents, but everyone should feel free to post their videos... we'd still like to see them! For the full rules and conditions our lawyers make us include, click here.
