I want to give a huge thanks to Brie for the generous donation to the “CES 2011″ fund. She has been the most loyal of all my listeners as she has been listening since I started podcasting over 5 years ago. She has always supported me by listening to the show, writing it and has even made a “DEW-nation” to my Mountain Dew Soda fund.

Brie, thank you so very much for your support! I really appreciate it.

IvyWorldWide has let Totally Cool Tech know that they got well over their 400 needed survey responses, but around %40  of the respondents did NOT fill out the survey correctly. What does that mean? It means that YOU still have a great chance to win some prizes. Now read the instructions below for what they are looking for and get your email entered. They will not SPAM or harass you later. I would not partner up with them if they did.

Did you know that your thoughts are worth something? Well of course they are, and to IvyWorldWide, it’s worth a bunch of  “Totally Cool Tech“!

Now what are they looking for from you, well your thoughts on SMB (Small & Medium Businesses) purchasing habits. So to drive response rates, IvyWorldWide is offering to randomly award prizes to respondents once the survey period is completed, likely end of July or once they’ve received a minimum of 400 complete responses (this allows for statistical significance of the data). All respondents fully completing the survey with useful answers (i.e., one cannot simply enter nonsense into the text areas) and providing a valid email address will be eligible for a prize. They ‘ll select winners at random and contact them directly once selected, and then inform inform me of the winners for an announcement on the podcast and website.

The prizes are:

• Grand prize: One Lenovo A70z all-in-one PC
• Second prize: Five prize packages, each containing one of each of the following three devices:
  o One LG Bluetooth headset (HBM-210)
  o One LG Bluetooth stereo headset (HBS-250)
  o One LG Bluetooth Solar Car Kit & Emergency Charger (HFB-500)

To reiterate, the criteria for eligibility for the prize drawing are:

• Complete the full survey (the revenues question (or any other) can be skipped if too sensitive, although they’d of course prefer all questions be answered)
• Supply valid information in the free-text areas (i.e., no nonsensical answers)
• Supply a valid email address

Email addresses will only be used to contact eligible winners and WILL NOT be retained once prize selection has occurred. IvyWorldWide  WILL NOT share contact data or otherwise contact any respondent.

The link for the survey is here: http://www.surveymon…decision-making.

I do encourage you to enter as The Totally Cool Tech did have one of our followers win on the last such contest from IvyWorldWide.
