The winner of the Evil Microsoft Zune conest is Danielle from MsDanielle.com. This must be her lucky day. First she gets a plug in my What’s Happening In The Community post, now I just pulled her name out of the draw box.
Ms Danielle is the proud owner of a band new brown (that’s the new black) 30GB Microsoft Zune MP3 player. Not only did her entry win but her contest submission was actually very good!
I would like to tell Danielle to enjoy the Zune but judging from her contest post it looks like she is going to give it away as well!
If I win it, I’ll be giving it away in my next link promotion, too. I’ve already got two iPods, so what do I need a Zune for? A second backup? I wouldn’t be surprised if the guys from Millnic Media who gave away the prize somehow recycled it as well. Looks like the Zune is the new “white elephant” gift!
Please consider this as my contest entry. Who knows, maybe I’ll win it back!

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Congratulations Ms. Danielle! Hurry up and buy a lottery ticket before the day’s over

congrats Danielle!
Yep, congratulations!
Seriously . . . . it must be her bday! I sit right next to her and you can’t wipe that smile off her face!
well, gary, let her know that she is one of the sexiest blogger online if not the sexiest. maybe that’s why john chose her in the first place
have you told her yet, gary
Congratulations!!!,
you were certainly lucky today!
Congrats D! I do have to say I was crossing my fingers. Not so much for the actual prize, but just to win something
And it was so close to your b day too…well deserved
never mind, jane. maybe you should keep an eye on missd’s blog, just in case she puts it up and gives it away too.
if it does happen, i wish luck be with you this time
thanks everyone! i did say in my review that i’d give it away, and i never thought i’d actually win! hahahaa…. i need to think of a creative contest now…since i doubt Nate will trade me it for the Wii
Would you look at that…congratulations, MsDanielle! You know what they say about these things — it comes in threes. I wonder what good news you’re going to get next…
im writing a post about it now
i hope luck doesn’t swing too quickly the other way or else i’m gonna get hit by a bus on the way out of my bldg
What about a bus full of hundred dollar bills — that would be nice; painful, but nice.
hahaha… as long as it doesn’t kill me, that would be awesome. i’d buy a whole new wardrobe of shoes as soon as my ankles heal
well done msdenielle. enjoy
congratulations. Guess I just don’t lucky enough. Any coming contest, John?
Great work msDanielle and that’s good news for us losers (or non-winners) that we might have another chance to win!
definitely, i hope she’d give it away
WISH I HAD ENTERED!!! UGGH!!! When’s the next giveaway!
-Sam from MarketMatador.com
same here, i was being lazy…
If your blog is not updated frequently and enter, you won’t win. John will not pick blogs that aren’t updated in the frequency that he expects.
Anyway, congrats Danielle!
that’s a good point
He did say he pulled her name out of a box so a little luck came into play.
ooo… now i know it
Congrats, congrats…to the winner
I smell a fish! First the blog shout out and now this?
Just teasin… congrats!
HAHA! i know huh?? i was super happy when i saw the community mention, so imagine how i felt a few hours later seeing that i won the contest!
it’s definitely been a great week so far
Btw, congrats Danielle!!

Congratulations Ms. Danielle! Your lucky day!

LOL you’re right! here’s my contest write-up: http://www.msdanielle.com/zune-is-the-new-white-elephant/
i was actually pretty proud of myself when i wrote it. hahahaha…
Damn it when’s the next one, prizes, prizes prizes
You know what would be cool…John putting up something really awesome for auction, that would definitely bring in the traffic (and some $$$). All proceeds go to charity — could be stellar!
nice..I never had this kind of luck..well I have my own free Zune contest.
You know what they say…some are winners, some are losers, but someone has to run the contests.
