We like to have fun at work too, so we took it to Twitter for the past couple weeks with a contest. Sister companies Rocket Aldon, Rocket Seagull and Rocket BlueZone teamed up for a little “Best IT Tips” contest. We asked our Customers and the Twitterverse to tweet out their juiciest, coolest, most stellar IT tip (product related or not) to earn their shot at winning Apple’s latest and greatest iPad 2 or one of three $50 Amazon gift cards. In the end we got some great tips (below) and got to have fun rewarding our new followers. Now we’d like to officially announce our winners and thank them for their enthusiasm and willingness to share their IT wisdom.
The Grand Prize iPad2 goes to @kyleortman – Congrats on a tip sharing job well done.
The 3 $50 Amazon Gift Cards go to @mocheng123, @simulacra10, and @tmanns1 – Congrats to you three as well and nice work.
