Our Responsibilities as Giveaway Hosts
Tue, December 20 2011
You can’t join any review/giveaway blogger network without seeing someone express frustration because a giveaway winner has contacted her, demanding to know where her prize is. As giveaway hosts, we frequently act as a middle man between winners, and it makes us look bad when those PR reps and companies don’t follow-through. What’s more is [...]

Love-Hate
Wed, November 9 2011
I’m not sure how I feel about Rafflecopter. I’m not ready to use it myself but I don’t have super popular giveaways. No, I’m conflicted as a reader.

This is Why Your Review Sucks
Mon, September 5 2011
Hi, I’m Cole and this is my review blog. Although, if you don’t know that, you probably can’t read so all you’re seeing is a bunch of garbled mumbo-jumbo anyway. How did you even get here? Seriously, though, the focus of this blog has always been reviews. Giveaways are nice but that’s not the focus. [...]
