I would really like to win this book because I’m really awkward at cockttail parties and I’m still trying to figure this whole social media thing out. So if I win, I can use the book as an ice breaker at cocktail parties and also plug the book at the same time. Hey, if I win, it sounds like I’m becoming a brand advocate! That’s part of social media isn’t it? See, I need more guidance and that’s why I need to win this book.

As random as Google’s algorithm I’m sure. There must be some sort of theory behind the madness of choosing people randomly. Maybe it’s through one of those sweet Wordpress plugins you recently talked about?
