Win cool BlackBerry prizes in the JanuBerry contest

Twitter and other forms of social media has caused a lot of change in politics and other issues all over the globe (Egypt, Syria...), but you call it lame. smh

While I agree completely regarding Facebook, Twitter can be much more passive. You setup an account and you can follow a site like CrackBerry. You can follow individuals if you want but you certainly don't have to. I follow a BBC news anchor that doesn't post useless drivel and a few companies/websites. You don't have to tweet anything at all, and only the vain care if they have followers and how many. In other words, you don't have to share anything.

I guess they made a typo.

I'm sure they have some old stock remaining.

You can thank the Quebec government for that one.

it's not only you that feel upset, I, from Indonesia, and many blackberry country basis are upset, since the contest is only for Northern America, exclude Quebec.

RIM truly need to change their point of view, since here, at south east asia, cheap android phone is flooding the market, and mostly affordable from a very low budget.

Here is a list (from about.com) of things that need to be done before a contest can be run in Quebec.

•Register the sweepstakes rules and all advertisements used to promote the contest with the Quebec government at least 30 days ahead of the sweepstake's launch.
•Pay a fee of up to 10% of the sweepstake's value, depending on who is allowed to enter.
•Agree to allow the government of Quebec to mediate any lawsuits arising from the contest.
•Follow strict guidelines about the contents of the sweepstakes rules.
•Allow the Quebec government to determine if the sweepstake may be changed or canceled once it has started.
•File a written report after the contest has concluded, attesting that the prizes have been delivered or attempted to be delivered.
•Agree to follow a number of other rules and guidelines.
While these laws are intended to protect the citizens of Quebec, they are also a significant burden of money and resources to sweepstakes sponsors, and the consequences for a mistake are severe. Rather than run the risk of facing legal action if these long and complicated rules are not followed to the letter, many sponsors take the easy route of making their contests void in Quebec.

You don't have to be. RIM isn't a twit, which is slang term for something else.

It only takes a few moments to register with twitter.

Your comment is utterly ridiculous. Twitter has 100 million users worldwide. It is a platform that has helped to cause changes in governments. It has helped get law enforcement and political word out. Disaster information, local, national and International news stories, community organisations use... The list goes on. To you and others bashing Twitter wtf are you thinking?? Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

lmao!
