Are you a media contact currently on Twitter or know of a media contact on Twitter? If so, read on for your chance to win a Kindle 2.
The MediaOnTwitter Database is a collaborative effort powered by TrackVia in partnership with @prsarahevans, @skydiver, @melissahourigan, and @edunigan to create an online database of media and prominent bloggers on Twitter. The database is populated by Twitter users, vetted by editors and FREE to the entire community. Users submit information via an easy-to-use web form (see form at bottom of post) where entries go directly to site editors for approval. Journalists will also be reminded to populate the list when submitting a query for the popular Help a Reporter Out (HARO).
We will be running a two-week contest to encourage PR professionals, bloggers and journalists to submit Twitter ID’s to the growing global database. Here is how it works:
• Submit a media/blogger name in the form below. Include your email address and Twitter ID as well for the drawing. (Note we will only use submitter’s email address and Twitter ID to contact you if you win).
• After you have submitted your media/blogger name, send a tweet with the hashtag, #mediatweet, mentioning the contest. Note: promoting the contest on Twitter is a requirement for the Kindle 2 contest.
• On Monday, April 13th we will hold a random drawing of all individuals who submitted media contacts and helped promote the database on Twitter. One select individual will be awarded a Kindle 2 for participating in the database project.
• At the conclusion of the contest, TrackVia will donate the use of its online database to keep powering the MediaOnTwitter Database. You will be able to find the media list and make ongoing contributions at the conclusion of the contest on the following sites: PRSarahEvans and Digital Idea Media
In the meantime, you can find a comprehensive listing of MediaOnTwitter submissions on TrackVia.
