TwitterBar is a winner!

(And so are you, for using it!)

It was announced today that TwitterBar is one of the ten winners of the Mozilla Mobile Add-on Challenge:

“After reviewing a multitude of submissions and much debate around many worthy contenders, the judges from the AMO and Mobile teams have chosen ten (10) of the best (innovative, useful, compatible) Firefox mobile add-ons. We’re very pleased to announce our winners (and thrilled to start using their add-ons soon) and award them each with a brand new Nokia N900.”

I was really pleased with how the mobile version of TwitterBar turned out; I slimmed down the interface (which was already pretty slim), and I found a great Twitter bird icon that I modified to allow TwitterBar to have its own branding separate from Twitter:

I’m planning on eventually using this same icon in the Firefox version of TwitterBar too so that there’s consistent branding across the Mobile, Firefox, and Chrome versions of TwitterBar. What do you think?

Congratulations to Sean, Ricardo, and Jeff, the winners of Mahalo’s iPhone Contest. I knew as soon as I read it that Sean’s Time Travel SERP was going to be tough competition.

The waiting is the hardest part

Looks like I’m not the only one interested in finding out the results of the Mahalo.com iPhone contest: the top Mahalo search term today is “iPhone Contest Entries.”

Seriously, when are the winners going to be — wait, Sexsomnia??

Here is my sixth entry for the Mahalo.com iPhone Contest: OPML.

I am really gaining an appreciation for the work that Mahalo Guides do.

Mahalo.com iPhone Contest: Mall of America

Here is my fifth entry for the Mahalo.com iPhone Contest: Mall of America.

I’ve probably been to the MOA more times (a dozen maybe? could be more) than any Mahalo guide, so this was a natural fit for me.

Here is my third entry for the Mahalo.com iPhone Contest: NewsRadio.

When contests allow you to enter as many times as you want, I usually take that as a challenge. When I was 14, I filled out over 100 entry forms just to win a 12-pack of Coke and a pizza at the Rock County Fair because there was no rule prohibiting multiple entries. (And I won. Victory never tastes as good as when it comes with 144 ounces of soda.) After that, they changed the rules to “one entry per person” (also known as the “Finke provision.”)
