Winner Announced For Our HP Netbook Computer Giveaway
Last month we asked you to share your best Twitter Tips with us and in return we would enter you in our most recent giveaway.
The prize? A beautiful, brand new HP 1116NR netbook computer.
We received about 150 tips (some multiple tips from the same person). The tips came in via Twitter, through email, and as comments on the blog post.
After our editors reviewed them, we ended up with 137 excellent usable tips that are currently being composed into a downloadable document which we will make available to you very soon.
Using the Random.org tool, we chose one lucky winner at random.
Congratulations to Cynthia Sutton the winner of the HP mini Netbook computer!
Cynthia’s winning Twitter tip for small businesses in the category of “time management” was:
“Set specific times for interacting on Twitter. Don’t keep a desktop app open that alerts you to new tweets.”
Now let us tell you a little bit about Cynthia.
Cynthia’s business, The Silver Barn, is located in Columbus, Texas (pictured right).
Situated on the historic town square, her beautiful store features home decor items and a variety of gift ideas. You can read more about Cynthia and her business on The Silver Barn blog or follow her Twitter account, @thesilverbarn.
Upon learning she won our grand prize, Cynthia tweeted “wow, am I shocked and excited. I’ve never won anything, oh wait, I won a jelly bean count in 5 grade!”.
Thank you to everyone who partcipated and our congratulations to Cynthia!
And thank you to our sponsor, HP, for making it possible to give this computer away to one of our readers.

Congrats Cynthia! & great Twitter tip.
Wow… You’re so lucky Cynthia. I hope smallbiztrends will bring more contests in the future.
Cynthia Sutton: Congratulations! Great tip. I have to figure out how to change the default setting in Seesmic Desktop with the new tweet alerts. According to my new strucuralized way of doing things, I will set up certain time slots for tweeting…
I have to check out your business site in the near future.
Congrats Cynthia, you lucky gal! You won a terrific prize.
