Facebook vs. Google Contest, Take 2!
Our first attempt at the facebook vs. Google contest ran into a problem: while it is easy to see who “liked” our page on facebook and enter them into the contest, it turns out that it is not possible to see who “+1ed” our page on Google… so we couldn’t enter them into the contest! So we are modifying the way Googlers enter, extending the contest and adding more prizes!
New prizes:
EVERYONE WHO ENTERS WINS A FREE CTA EXAM, up to a limit of 250.
That’s right, you read correctly. It means the first 250 people to enter the contest win a CTA Exam. (What are you waiting for?)
New way of entering the contest:
facebook - one step: go to www.teracomtraining.com (link is above) and click the “like” button. We can see who you are.
Google +1 - two steps:
1) Go to www.teracomtraining.com (link is above) and click the “+1″ button on that web page.
2) Leave a comment on this post:
https://plus.google.com/114985100635173859816/posts/53Nk9Rvod63
saying you +1ed our home page. With that, we can see who you are.
Both steps are required for Googlers to enter. Note that +1ing this post does not enter you in the contest. You must +1 our web page www.teracomtraining.com.
New expiry date:
Contest ends September 30, 2011 or when the 250 CTA Exams are won, whichever comes first. Prizes will be distributed the first week of October. Prizes have no cash value. Void where prohibited.
Thanks for participating!

802.11g Wireless LAN (WiFi) base station on my new Samsung Galaxy Android phone
Waiting for a flight at the airport. Time on my hands, I try out a feature included with the Android operating system on my new Samsung Galaxy: create an 802.11g Wireless LAN (WiFi) base station on the phone.
This WiFi network is automatically bridged inside the phone to the Internet connection provided by the cellular carrier.
Easy step-by-step instructions were included on the setup screen.
Fired up my laptop and found the WiFi network and connected no problem.
In fact, I sent a post to Google’s servers over the very link!
Ain’t technology wonderful.
Bonus: your car can now be a WiFi hotspot! You could even get a WiFi hotsopt logo sticker and put it on your back window, like Greyhound… On a long car trip with my family, all of whom have WiFi enabled iPhones, iPods, DSs etc. etc., I can tell them the WiFi password, and they can share my internet connection.
Double bonus: If the kids start squabbling, I can threaten to turn it off!
btw, I have 6 GB/month in my plan, so not so worried about usage-based pricing for the connection. Best check your billing plan before trying it.
