Bit-tech competitions ahoy!

Published on 16th June 2011 by Paul Goodhead

To celebrate the fact that the bit-tech Facebook page has just hit 1,000 Likes, we’re going to be having a competition bonanza over the next few days.

We’ll be running a number of competitions, all of which will be open to all of our readers worldwide, on both our Facebook page and our Twitter feed. We've got everything from Corsair PSUs to random T-shirts from Computex to give away.

If you want to get involved, be sure to click the Like button on the bit-tech Facebook page (you could also befriend the Custom PC and bit-gamer pages while you’re there), and also follow the bit-tech Twitter feed.

The competitions will be coming thick and fast too, so be sure to regularly check our social media pages.

The first giveaway will be going up on our Facebook page this afternoon, and we’ll continue the festival of generosity until 6pm on Friday.

Have you got lucky in a bit-tech competition before? Do you already follow us on Facebook? Let us know your thoughts in the forums.

open to US residents?

Ah, yes, should have put that in the article. These are worldwide competitions.

Article updated.

That's good since I'm moving to Aus!

C-Sniper 16th June 2011, 17:10

Sweet! Worldwide Competition, now the people across the pond can take part!

No Facebook. I'm into Anti-Social-Networking!

Xtrafresh 16th June 2011, 17:35

damn it bit, you used to innovative and independant. Facebook like-harvesting with giveaways... i'm disappoint.

kzinti1 16th June 2011, 18:29

I don't use either Facebook, Twitter or any other such crap.
I see the point in this specific competition but not the others. I'm out.

Razer2007 16th June 2011, 18:43

Pumped in at Facebook and twitter now. Not gonna sleep man. I don't want to miss another giveaway!

Cheapskate 16th June 2011, 18:52

So... You want us to wander OFF your website to participate? You were so close to getting something right.

jon 16th June 2011, 18:54

I'll skip this one as, like others before me, I refuse Facebook and Twitter assimilation.

Razer2007 16th June 2011, 18:55

Well the Bit-Tech Facebook page isn't too far from home

Salty Wagyu 16th June 2011, 19:00

Can't understand why it's on Facebook when you have www.bit-tech.net. Can't access FB either since I chose to deactivate my account there.

jrs77 16th June 2011, 19:05

Death to Facebook and all this crap...

I'm strictly Anti-Social-Networking!

do_it_anyway 16th June 2011, 19:09

Another non-facebooker/tweeter

I am missing out on competition goodness, which is sad. But I am not cutting off my nose to spite my face(book).
Your REAL fans are on here. Not on some ridiculous networking site.

Fordy 16th June 2011, 19:41

Awesome, fingers crossed ;)

you redirect to social networks even if you have an own website with a forum? I´m skipping this one, not gonna make a account there only for this competition!

Agreed. I already handed over personal data to Dennis to enter a previous competition, I'm not bothering with this social networking nonsense.

PlayedStation 17th June 2011, 09:32

so shocking to see the lack of FB users in this forum. </end sarcasm>

r8bwp 17th June 2011, 09:38

tehgypsy 17th June 2011, 14:05

Xir 17th June 2011, 14:47

"I befriend you!"

That's it.

Teelzebub 17th June 2011, 16:29

Dont do fartbook so I'm out too :( and I think its wrong to make these competitions dependent on joining it

Kovoet 17th June 2011, 16:36

And I'm sure there's more than just me who has left facebook and there will be more in the future

Razer2007 17th June 2011, 17:13

Couldn't have said it better myself

Chicken76 18th June 2011, 13:01

No Facebook.
No Twitter.
Bummer

Whirly 18th June 2011, 13:30

I'm in the anti-social-networking group. I have no time or desire to share my latest bowel movement with the world so it seems this competition is closed to me and many other bit-tech members.

Good luck to those who enter and remember to tweet just how many sheets you use every day...the world needs to know!

Me, I don't do twitter and only use Facebook as an IM to relatives across the world.

But why B-T competitions on Facebook? That one's easy. It's a commercial business decision.

Anyone on this forum already is their captive audience, to a degree anyway. But I imagine lots of people come via searches directly to B-T with a specific IT need in mind, that's certainly how I ended up here (sorry about that mvag ;))

What better way to achieve large scale exposure to this forum than using a portal with XXX million users. Even a small proportion of them stumbling across B-T on facebook, with freebie competitions too, will increase membership to THIS forum.

srgtherasta 18th June 2011, 19:09

facebook fail. not interested in more pointless social tweeter/drivel.

sinner666999 19th June 2011, 05:37

Worthless.

Dr. Strangelove 20th June 2011, 14:47

Facebook and twit-what, no thanks.

notmeagain 20th June 2011, 17:56

Gah, what the hell is with Facebook.
I read my news on Bit, not Facebook.
And I've never tweeted in my life - i'm out of this one, thanks Bit.
