  • What you will find is one company running one competition will ask a large number of bloggers to advertise it and this ends up getting loads of entries from all over the place (facebook, blogger, twitter etc etc) and this in turn reduces the chance of winning. And I wonder if some of these prizes actually exist too - hard to prove yes but I do not hear many people of winning anything from the various forums I follow (inc. this one of course!). Considering they only take seconds to enter I personally don't care if I don't win - 2 clicks of a mouse to enter seems minimal in consideration?

    Stephen Fry has thousands following him. The problem arises if someone, such as myself wants to follow thousands of others. I am not allowed to follow more than 2000 people, as I don't have thousands of people following me.

    After the initial 2000 follows the amount of people you can follow depends on the amount who follow you.. approx 10% more I think

  • I just had a momentary panic. How on earth will you survive not knowing what shade of paint to decorate (this week) to best display the crystal glassware and alpaca cushions?
