Announcing The TechREACTION.net Blogger Incentive Program!

Starting today, September 15th, 2009: All registered bloggers with have the chance to win free hardware at least once a month forever!

That's right! FREE HARDWARE! Just for being a registered and active blogger of TechREACTION.net.

How do I sign up? Simple, first, register at this page to become a TR blogger. Once you receive your account information, half the job is done.

What about the giveaway? It's easy to be eligible and easy to win. All you have to do is be yourself, a technology enthusiast. To qualify just follow these simple rules:

- Stay in active status by maintaining one blog post per 30 day period.
- One post equals one submission to the contest.
- Two posts equals two submissions, and so on, and so forth.

I've never blogged before, what's the deal? Don't think of it as something only for the elite. Blogging is really no different from posting on a forum, such as this. The difference being that it's more organized, looks more professional to the reader, and puts the information on the front page rather than just buried deep in some thread somewhere.

I'm interested, but what can I blog about? Everything...as long as it's technology related. Here are some examples:

Just did some benching with a few buddies or by yourself? Blog it.
Bought a new hi-tech cell phone or mobile device? Blog it.
Testing out the new version of an operating system? Blog it.
Seeing what better cooling does to your new CPU? Blog it.

The list the goes on... Virtually anything is bloggable (new word?) as long as it's related to the main subject: Technology.

Giveaways will occur every 30 days, meaning that as an active blogger you will only need to post once every 30 days to qualify. Sounds easy enough no?

Prize for the blogging period of December 1st - January 1st.

Corsair HX750W Power Supply!

**Neuromancer** · 09-15-2009, 08:59 PM

Really cool idea Alex

Someone will be real happy

Not me, I have nothing interesting to blog about.

**drizzt5** · 09-15-2009, 09:01 PM

Idc, im blogging. I want sexyness hardware.

slugbug · 09-15-2009, 09:01 PM

I always like the chance to win new hardware

Jason · 09-15-2009, 09:01 PM

I'll give it a go, however I'm not interested in hardware at this time.

**Archer** · 09-15-2009, 09:37 PM

Wonder what the Egg has in store for me today????

I have an idea for a blog, but I'll have to assess the mid- to long-term sustainability of it first. I have alot of 2-week interests

Well, if my blog was full of random stuff then yes

I was hoping for some consistency in content.

Randomizer's blog of everything incoherent.

**Neuromancer** · 09-16-2009, 10:24 AM

Hmm actually I do have an idea for a blog.

I am really ghetto (cheap) when it comes to PC parts, also extremely opinionated (nigh fanboy)

Currently piecing together an i7 system for under $500 suppose I could blog about that should last a few months, till the next project comes along

I will sign up later today and give it a try

EDIT: Signed up.

**Sport** · 09-16-2009, 08:30 PM

...what do you consider Technology ...hardware(old vs new), programming, historical antidotes, forward thinking; dealing with tomorrow vs today or yesterday

To me Technology is anything gets my blood pumping!!

**EnJoY** · 09-21-2009, 06:28 PM

A lot of people have registered, but only 5 have actually posted a blog, making them active bloggers (which is what you need to do in order to qualify).

Get blogging so you can give these guys some competition for the 965's!

**Archer** · 09-21-2009, 08:41 PM

I know I am not a blogger but I am going to give this 620 a real rundown

If I find many anomalies from other reviews as I did with the 905e then I will post a blog on it.

**GegeV2** · 09-26-2009, 02:24 PM

Hmm meaning, a single blog post is counted?

Yes, active blogger means you have at least 1 blog post every 45 days. So yes, all you need is one blog to qualify for each contest, every 45 days.

(edit: however, the more posts you make, the more chances you have to win)

**randomizer** · 09-26-2009, 10:18 PM

I assume that if you become "inactive" (say, no posts for 90 days) that you can become active once you start posting again?

**Archer** · 09-26-2009, 11:00 PM

The use of sand paper and a machined and miked Al plate have not been ruled out. This will be fun.

Yup.

**Neuromancer** · 09-27-2009, 10:50 AM

Wow an Antec VCool. That was the first review I ever wrote

**Neuromancer** · 09-30-2009, 12:10 PM

Been insane busy lately so have not had a chance to start typing up the rest of my Blog series yet

Definitely like the idea of writing a blog though. After I finish up this piecemeal upgrade series, I will focus on something with a little more pertinence to more advanced users

Havenot even had much time for overclocking my new i7 rig yet *sigh

Sounds good. And yea, that's a bummer. Get to it!

KTE · 10-02-2009, 06:10 AM

Look forward to reading some blogs.

Archer, you know, that gauge eeks to measure that Propus' power...

randomizer, I have high expectations from your blog

Generally, I rarely read blogs unless I'm searching for something in specific though... similar to how I avoid socializing networks. Shunned Eds rant haven in the same way for years. Making an exception for here.
