F.A.Q.

Q: What is the #symbiangives campaign?

A: We have recently made our source code free to everyone and we’re still feeling in a generous mood.  So to share our joy, we decided to reward the community for celebrating with us through their Twitter Tweets.  For ten days (Monday – Friday from Feb. 8-19,2010), we’ll be giving away various prizes to randomly selected people who either  Retweet us with the hashtag #symbiangives, or who send us a clever line following the creative template from our campaign.

Q: I forgot to include the “#symbiangives” in my Tweet, but I did everything else right.  Am I still eligible?

A: Sorry, no.  We ask you follow the directions to win the gift card each day exactly as specified.

Q: Am I limited to the amount of times I can participate in this promotion?

A: No. You may participate as often as you’d like.  Just follow the instructions provided on the day of the giveaway, as the giveaways change throughout the campaign.  You may Tweet and Retweet as many times as you’d like to increase your chances of being selected.

Q: What will be given away and what do I need to do to win?
