does not say anithing, just call all days, 10 times a day
These people, whoever they are, call us every half hour exactly, starting at about 9am (even on weekends, when it's technically illegal to do so in Canada), and we receive these calls up to ten times daily. They are a company representing Capital One and want to get us to sign up for a credit card. I can't figure out how to stop them from calling, as apparently even if you put your name on their list to be removed, they still call you. I'm getting so fed up with it, it's ridiculous!
I am sick and tired of your phone calls two and three times a day!!!!

calls started from this number 07/22 and have continued to date.... the calls seem to come in at all times of the day morning afternoon and night and even weekends..... I have never answered but the pattren seems to indicate an automated system trying to track a point at which a call is answered...... Last week these calls have been amediatly followed by a blocked, or unknown caller with no visual id secounds after the first call comes in from the 888 number
They call me at least a few times a day... I would like to know how to stop this and sue them...
Getting called multipe times a day! Never anyone at the other end. Signed up to be removed from list, not been removed!!

THE SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES Blu-ray. Redemption.
Jean Rollin's follow-up to La Vampire Nue eschews the comic book psychedelia of that film for a more conventional tale of the supernatural, with an almost classical horror narrative in which a honeymooning couple (Sandra Julien and Jean-Marie Durand) find themselves staying at an old family castle. They are told that the wife's cousins have passed away, and are surprised to then see them, seemingly alive and well. It soon becomes clear that they have become vampires, and are determined to draw their relataive into the cult. As with most of Rollin's work, his sympathies lie with the alleged monsters as much as with the victims, and his story is a romanticised tale of vampirism, with our living heroes being drawn into the vampire cult out of love, not malice. And so it's unsurprising that he goes for a dreamlike feel, with the remarkable visual tableau that make his films so unique, rather than horror shocks. This film is also considerably more openly erotic than its predecessors – there are no real sex scenes, but there's plenty of nudity and an aura of sensuality pervades. There is a downside – the film has rather too many lengthy dialogue scenes that somewhat lack pace, suggesting that Rollin was more at home creating his delirious visions of ecstasy rather than dealing with straight-forward narrative. Better to let the images do the talking – something he thankfully returned to in his next film, Requiem for a Vampire. This minor criticism aside, The Shiver of the Vampires - aka Le Frisson des Vampires, which perhaps more appropriately translates as The Vampire's Thrill - remains a remarkable and compulsive film, unlike anything (apart from other Rollin movies) that you'll ever see. This new Blu-ray edition from Redemption looks great - better than the film was ever appearaed before - and offers the choice of English dubbed or subtitled versions, Rollin trailers and 40 minutes of Rollin interview footage, as well as the booklet that is uniform to the series.


text: Your first rodeo might be something of a shock if you're not used to the brutality of some of the sports. There's a reason people get beat up and even die at these events. An average size man on the back of an angry bull who weighs more than a ton is going to have pretty poor odds if he lands wrong under that bull's feet. Perhaps the bravest cowboys of them all are the rodeo clowns who work to distract the bulls when the rider needs a chance to pick himself up out of the dirt and get to the sidelines.

Wipes: What kind do you buy and how do you decide?
We use cloth wipes, two layers of an old recieving blanket sewed together. I keep a sports bottle with plain water by the changing table & squirt it on the wipe when I need it. We also cloth diaper so I just toss them in with the diapers. We DO use disposable wipes in the diaper bag & I usually jsut buy whatever is cheaper without scent.
Quoting KRYSTALK1013:
What do you use to make them?
Quoting leanntx:
I make my own. They work great, and my ds has yet to get any kind of rash.
I like the Huggies brand b/c they are thick and attached together so they will pop up together out of the box in case you need more than you pulled out. I also like the Sam's Brand (Member's Mark) or Walmart Brand. Those are both thick!

Arizona Cardinals
Whisenhunt: Fair to say Patrick Peterson pressing of late
During his rookie season with the Cardinals in 2011, no player was more electrifying than Patrick Peterson.
Serving as both the team's top cornerback and punt returner, Peterson burst on to the NFL scene with a bang last season.
In 16 games, the former No. 5 pick tied the league record for most punt return touchdowns in a season with four. Each of his four touchdowns were for 80 yards or more, and two were of the game-winning variety -- including a franchise-record 99-yard return to beat the St. Louis Rams in overtime.
Fast forward to 2012, and it appears at the very least like Peterson is mired in a bit of a sophomore slump at least as it pertains to the return game.
In the final minutes of the Cardinals' 31-17 loss at Green Bay Sunday, Peterson muffed a punt inside the Arizona 5-yard line. The ball was recovered by Jarrett Bush, and the Packers subsequently ran out the clock.
It was his second muffed/fumbled punt of the game and fifth of the season.
While Peterson's late-game error didn't cause the Cardinals to lose their fifth straight game, his latest miscue is yet another sign that things aren't coming quite as easily for Arizona's special teams star during his second year.
"Patrick is a very driven, competitive athlete," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "He wants to be the best at everything he does. Is he pressing now? I'd say that's probably fair that he is. He's trying to make a play."
Whether Peterson's recent slip-ups are a product of trying to do too much or a result of poor reads on hang time remains to be seen, but the reality is in a game defined by field position, muffed/fumbled punts can prove costly.
"I'm sure every great punt returner in this league has dropped a punt or two in their time," said Whisenhunt. "And it's not so much that, it's what you do after that happens, understanding how important field position is and what we're trying to get done."
When Peterson has gotten his hands on the football this season his numbers are still dramatically down from his rookie campaign.
Peterson's average of 7.7 yards per return is currently good for only 18th best in the league among punt returners this season. Last season, however, Peterson was statistically the second best return man in the league -- 15.9 yards per return -- falling just behind perennial Pro Bowler Devin Hester.

Correlation of serotype-specific dengue virus infection with clinical manifestations. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22563516 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV) is a significant cause of morbidity throughout the world. Although prior research has focused on the association of specific DENV serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4) with the development of severe outcomes such as dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, relatively little work has correlated other clinical manifestations with a particular DENV serotype. The goal of this study was to estimate and compare the prevalence of non-hemorrhagic clinical manifestations of DENV infection by serotype. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Between the years 2005-2010, individuals with febrile disease from Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Paraguay were enrolled in an outpatient passive surveillance study. Detailed information regarding clinical signs and symptoms, as well as demographic information, was collected. DENV infection was confirmed in patient sera with polyclonal antibodies in a culture-based immunofluorescence assay, and the infecting serotype was determined by serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies. Differences in the prevalence of individual and organ-system manifestations were compared across DENV serotypes. One thousand seven hundred and sixteen individuals were identified as being infected with DENV-1 (39.8%), DENV-2 (4.3%), DENV-3 (41.5%), or DENV-4 (14.4%). When all four DENV serotypes were compared with each other, individuals infected with DENV-3 had a higher prevalence of musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal manifestations, and individuals infected with DENV-4 had a higher prevalence of respiratory and cutaneous manifestations. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Specific clinical manifestations, as well as groups of clinical manifestations, are often overrepresented by an individual DENV serotype. |

Posts: 1 Could someone shed light on the derivation of the word "guinea" when used as a somewhat pejorative
or disparaging description of one of Italian descent similar to the use of the word "wop" for instance?

Posts: 1981 I don't know about the usage you describe. Is it used in any particular place?
You probably know that a guinea was a unit of UK currency - one pound and a shilling -it's still sometimes used for prizes for horse races (100 guineas, for example). I don't know if there would be any link there.

Posts: 20 I don't know what the origin of the word "guinea" is, but I have heard it used as a slur towards Italians.
It is also used in another way, one that is perhaps related. A "guinea-tee" is a white tank-top undershirt, worn by men. I'm guessing that it is related to the pejorative use of "guinea". I've also heard this undershirt called a "wife-beater." Whether or not these are all related, I don't know.

Loc: Hobart, Tasmania, Australia My Shorter Oxford indicates that the word was used (early 19th century) to describe a black person, especially one recently arrived from Guinea or West Africa. By the late 19th century, it was used derogatively (in the US) to describe an immigrant of Italian or Spanish origin. It doesn't suggest any link between the two terms.

Loc: this too shall pass Someone must have really loathed the Itals; guinea originally applied to West African slaves and dago initially referred to Spanish sailors.

The thread IS 4 months old, and the OP has already purchased a scope and shared his opinion. So, further recommendations a pretty much just a waste of time.

Although I'm not a big Weaver fan generally, I really like my Weaver "Classic K" in 4x28mm config on a Marlin 39.
I once had a $600 Trijicon on a Marlin 60 I bought for $99. There's no right or wrong answer to how much glass. An accurate rifle of any value deserves good repeatable glass.

Solid GRAY STAIN for pine furniture?
While we were at the store picking up Sikkens SRD for our exterior cedar, we saw their color display for Benjamin Moores Arborcoat stains and felling in love with the wide selection of colors ESPECIALLY the grays!
We have an ikea solid pine bed frame that we wanted to paint gray. Originally with latex but I'm thinking solid stain might turn out nicer. Issue is the salesmen said he would not recommend using exterior stain for interior purposes. Then he said the only interior gray stain he knew of was by Minwax Pastels which apparently is now discontinued due to VOC laws... Are there really no gray stains for interior purposes? thanks! |
Cabot makes interior stains too and besides having premixed colors they also have custom colors.

Cajun as well will do it. Jalapenos as snacks, now that's spicy! I honestly feel like such a wimp. I used to be able to handle spicy stuff much better but I guess I've lost my tolerance.

I tried to hold it off but it began to hurt to the point I was loosing concentration, that coupled with the fact I still had about 100km to go before fuel I decided I needed to go. Letting the other competitiors back past again and being stuck in their dust was not an option so.....and I did think about this long and hard.......I basically pissed myself!
Now, this wasn't easy, I discovered that I could not break the seal while I was 'on-it', it just would not go, so I had to ease eout of the gas on a straight and concentrate really hard to get her going. Once she was flowing I was able to get back on the gas and empty out at the same time. It was a major bonus!
Initially it was warm but then as it hit the air and began to evapourate I got some serious cooling benefits! The worst part was when the trickes reached my boots and I knew it would be there for some time :-(

Toby Younger is my hero- he made that race as hard as it could be made and still grinned every time I saw him.
The easiest Dakars are for the guys like me that rode fast-ish but not actually fast. The guys at the front have the wear and tear of wanting it every foot and holding it wide all the time. The guys in back never get a break.
While I'm holding forth on my favorite subject in the world, a few notes on pace. IMO, the most dangerous riders in Dakar are the 10th-35th place guys, who all think they should be up front, and take chances to try to get there. The guys who actually are up front belong there, and the guys in ~40th-100th have most of the skills but probably a little more self-control. Some of the 100th and back guys are going to suffer amazingly and persevere regardless, and to me, that's a very beautiful thing too.
The top riders are on the same pace all over the world. Kurt was fast here, he was fast in Dakar. Same with Jonah, Quinn, Chris B, etc. The middle of the pack is more varied. There are guys with amazing skills (Chris Birch comes to mind) who struggle a little with the raw speed of the event, and guys with somewhat more mediocre skills who thrive on it- so you wind up with a crazy mixture of folks riding near each other, some of whom thrive when it gets nasty, some of whom thrive when it gets straight and pinned, but who nevertheless finish near each other on net time.
My eyes are on Mike Johnson. He's a super nice guy, legitimately fast, I think he had a bad day yesterday but I don't think they'll all be bad for him, he's got the pace to run quite a bit further forward.
Dreaming of Dakar
Everyone has a max speed, 90% of that max speed is much safer and easier, and if that 90% speed isn't fast enough at Dakar, you enter the snowball.

The Complete Facebook Success Formula Every Marketer Should Know
At the f8 Developer Conference in April 2010, two Facebook engineers shared Facebook's EdgeRank formula, and since then most marketers have misinterpreted how to apply it to their own brand challenges. Simply put, this is Facebook's equation, not your brand's. This formula reveals how Facebook determines what will appear in users' newsfeeds, but it does not tell your brand what is needed to drive business success on Facebook.
What Facebook shared about EdgeRank is important for marketers to understand, but it is merely a portion of the Facebook brand success formula. It is a little like the owner's manual for your car, which is helpful for learning how to operate the vehicle but does not tell you how to successfully, safely and efficiently get from point A to point B. Marketers must recognize EdgeRank, both for what it is and what it is not.
What is EdgeRank?
Source: http://allisterfrost.com |
EdgeRank is Facebook's secret sauce. It is designed to make the site as useful, engaging and sticky as possible. Its purpose is not to enhance marketers' experiences but users' (which ultimately benefits Facebook itself with more traffic and ad revenue, of course.)
You are probably aware that when you sign on to Facebook, your newsfeed is not simply a stream of every friend's and brand's posts in reverse chronological order. Facebook knows that you would not find a raw stream of posts very interesting--you are fonder of some friends than others, and not everything your friends post is equally appealing-- and so Facebook filters your newsfeed. Based on your past interactions on the platform, Facebook knows who and what you find most relevant, and it applies this knowledge to make your newsfeed as interesting as possible. (For the record, I think Facebook's current EdgeRank formula does a good job, but it has a long way to go before it's filtering feels as natural and accurate as it should for users.)
To understand how EdgeRank works, you first must realize that everything that occurs on Facebook is an "edge" in the parlance of Facebook. Which of your friends' edges you see in your newsfeed and which ones Facebook omits depend on three factors:
Ue: Affinity between user and edge creator: Facebook monitors how much you interact with friends and brands. Those people and brands that earn your engagement--liking, sharing, commenting and so on--are more likely to appear in your newsfeed. The people and brands you tend to ignore eventually disappear because Facebook (correctly) interprets that you simply do not find their content interesting.
Right off the bat, you can see the enormous challenge for brands: How can a brand possibly be as interesting to a user as his or her own friends? You can see this challenge demonstrated within your own personal newsfeed--you are presented with posts made by your friends much more often than from brands you have liked. In fact, many of the brands you have "liked" never appear in your newsfeed. This is not (just) Facebook's way to encourage brands to use paid sponsored posts to increase visibility; instead, it is the reality of your own Facebook habits. You find the people in your life more interesting than brands, and Facebook recognizes and reflects your authentic affinity.
We: Weight for this edge: Every one of us reacts with different types of content differently--you may love videos, I may enjoy photos and someone else may prefer text. This means each content type has a different "weight" for each user. In addition, as an "edge" gains comments and likes, it gains more "weight;" thus, as others interact with an edge, it increases the likelihood that edge will appear in other people's newsfeeds. The more your brand posts match topics and content type to users' interests, the greater the weight of your content and the higher the likelihood your content will appear in fans' newsfeeds.
De: Time decay factor for this edge: The last of Facebook's EdgeRank attributes is a simple one: The more recent the post, the more likely you are to see it. You do not often launch Facebook and see something posted a week ago. Facebook knows that we are all real-time junkies--if a band is hot, a TV show is great, a meme is growing or our friends found a great party, we must know now!
Facebook's EdgeRank is not rocket science--the more affinity an individual has for your brand, the more interest he or she has for the types of content your brand posts, the more others find your content engaging and the more timely your posts, the greater your brand's chances of being included in a fan's newsfeed. While this all seems obvious, marketers must take note of several vital things about EdgeRank:
- Facebook does not exist to give your brand the opportunity for free earned media. Its purpose is to give users a great social experience, which may include the brands that authentically earn their attention.
- The same rules apply to people as to brands. If your brand posts interesting content that gets people engaging, the content is seen in more users' newsfeeds. If not...
- A brand that fails to engage fans can disappear from fans' newsfeeds. If this happens...
- Your brand can become invisible on Facebook. Consumers rarely visit brand pages; in fact, Facebook reports that fans are 40 to 150 times more likely to interact with brands on their newsfeeds than going to a brand page. If you disappear from consumers' newsfeeds, you disappear from Facebook.
- EdgeRank is Facebook's formula for keeping users' newsfeeds as interesting and relevant as possible, but this is far from the entire equation for brand success on Facebook. Two key components for Facebook marketing success are missing, and far too many marketers overlook these.
Missing Facebook Attribute #1: Fans that matter
What is missing? Well the first thing should be evident: Fans, but not just any fans, the right fans.
Not all fans are created equal, although you would not know this given some of the relatively desperate methods brands use to accumulate "fans." EdgeRank tells us that brands must collect signals of affinity as quickly as possible, so the primary goal in your brand's fan accumulation strategy should not be raw numbers of fans but collecting the right fans--ones that arrive with some level of affinity or immediate potential for affinity.
An interested customer is likely to interact with your brand, which tells Facebook he or she wants to see more from your brand. On the other hand, a disinterested fan fails to interact, resulting in the expulsion of the your brand from the fan's newsfeed.
I have never understood why brands turn to general-interest sweepstakes and contests to earn "likes," for this seems to offer no path to Facebook success. The theory is that a fan acquired through these means will move up the value ladder--he or she may start as a disinterested prospect, but soon this person will become so enamored with the brand's wonderful content that the individual will rise to prospect, then customer and finally loyal advocate. This is the traditional advertising funnel view of the brand journey, and applying it to Facebook is, in the words of the immortal Joe Biden, "Malarkey!"
Facebook's EdgeRank prevents disinterested prospects from gaining value. A new fan who was seduced by a contest or sweepstakes will see a few posts from your brand, and if they ignore these posts (and they will), your brand is gone. When this happens, your marketing investment will have incremented a number at the top of your fan page but delivered nothing else, least of all a prospect with an opportunity to see your brand's content within his or her newsfeed.
Brands are treating Facebook "likes" as if they are email subscription requests, but EdgeRank tells us this is not an effective strategy. Instead, you must find fans with affinity and keep that affinity to remain part of fans' Facebook experience. The path to greater brand awareness is not to collect disinterested fans and hope your content reaches them, because it won't; instead, brands achieve awareness on Facebook by collecting fans with existing or immediately available affinity and giving them content and interactions they will share with others (either purposely or inadvertently through Facebook's platform.)
In my Facebook success equation, I call this "Fans to the power of Affinity." Affinity does not grow your brand's Facebook success mathematically but exponentially. A fan with zero affinity stands almost no chance of seeing your content; a fan with modest affinity may or may not interact sufficiently to keep your brand present within his or her newsfeed; but a fan with strong existing affinity or the opportunity to gain it immediately can be a regular receiver, engager and sharer of your content.
To affinity and beyond! (Sorry, the Disney fan in me came out there.)
Missing Facebook Attribute #2: Brand Vector
The second component that we must add to Facebook's EdgeRank equation is brand vector. This means that your content and interactions must move people closer to the brand.
Engagement for engagement's sake may get your brand on fans' newsfeeds, but your brand must drive marketing value and not merely be seen. It is not enough to capture attention; you have to capture hearts and minds. If you collect "eyeballs" but fail to change perception or behavior around your brand, you've failed, no matter what your fan count or "talking about this" number says.
Brands have long fallen into the trap of settling for mere likeability and engagement. One of my favorite pre-social-era examples of this is Taco Bell's Chihuahua. For years, Taco Bell ran ads with the popular pup telling people "Yo Quiero Taco Bell." The dog abruptly disappeared from airwaves because the Chihuahua was more effective at selling T-shirts and plush animals than he was at selling tacos. In the language of the social era, Taco Bell settled for engagement but lacked brand vector.
For a more recent example, look at Progressive's recent social media PR event. Angry customers flooded into Progressive's fan page to protest the company's handling of a claim. Progressive has the most popular fan page in insurance, at least as measured in simple metrics--4.7 million likes and 30,000 people talking about the brand--but despite those amazing numbers, Progressive saw little to no advocacy in the midst of the company's negative PR event. It is easy to see why: Flo posts lots of fun and games, but where is the discussion about risk, protecting families, the value of insurance or why Progressive is worth consideration? There is little brand vector evident in the engagement Flo creates, so Flo is just another popular character. That's great if Progressive produces sitcoms but is of dubious value if Progressive wishes to change awareness, consideration and intent around its financial products.
Here, in its complete form, is the entire Facebook success equation for marketers. Not just Facebook's EdgeRank formula, but also the inclusion of the right fans and the right messaging. What do you think? Have I missed anything? Your comments are welcome and appreciated.

Well, it seems like there's a little disagreement as to how to go about using Facebook for marketing, but we all at least know that we should. I think one problem that many businesses get into when using social media is combining it for business and personal use. A business' social media profiles should be separate from personal social media profiles, and a business should not use it to comment on things that are of a personal nature. Not that you should be dull and dry; you should show that you are personable and human. But lines must be drawn to keep things on a professional level when using social media for business.
Dec 26 Posted 2 years ago
Sorry to disagree but as a marketer for small business I never recommend sponsored stories or buying Facebook advertising unless a client is running a campaign, event, or coupon. Data shows us that users are more likely to engage with friends than they are with brands so the goal of advocacy (getting people to share and recommend to friends) is much more desired than advertising. Our strategies are working more towards developing the kind of content that engages super users and advocates who share and recommend products and brands through a number of different strategies. The data on return is much higher. Ron Fugetta's new book, Brand Advocacy, has a ton of great info on advocacy strategies and data to back it all up. I would recommend taking a look. Reach is a small part of the total Facebook picture anymore.
Dec 25 Posted 2 years ago
For me as a Facebook (FB) user with 400+ pages I follow I am really struggling to keep up with the volume of content in my newsfeed. Edgerank is good and I can see how it benefits me but I think all marketers must consider that FB users like me can be very hard to connect with unless you start paying for sponsored stories and advertising.
Nov 8 Posted 2 years ago
I'd be very wary of competitions, sweepstakes etc. There are rules for minimum levels of prize value. If you breach them in the wrong state or country, you could end up with a Court summons.
Nov 7 Posted 2 years ago
Chris, I agree that there are additional complexities to EdgeRank than I address. My primary interest was expanding on EdgeRank with the discussion on Brand Vector and quality fans. Moreover, even with the changes, brands can succeed by building true engagement that move fans closer to the brand rather than just create chatter. Obviously, a book could be written on EdgeRank (and some have been), but I feel too many brands obsess with fan count and comments when they should consider whether or not they are building authentic relationships.
Thanks for the comment!
Nov 7 Posted 2 years ago
The only problem I have with this is that we know Facebook has changed this algorithm at least twice (maybe more since 2010). A couple things--Edge Rank is now different for brands. We know that sometime in the last two month the algorithm was changed to allow brands only a percentage of their true reach, no matter how well they hit Edge Rank.. This has been well documented all over the net. We even have a Facebook VP on record as saying, "the free ride for brands is over." Facebook is forcing brands to buy Facebook ads and Promoted Posts to reach the fans they have worked to build. It's time to explore other strategies--particularly Advocacy strategies--if your brand does not have a budget for ads on Facebook. The crunch is now on small brands and those of us that help them market must put our thinking caps back on and figure out how to help them engage all over again.
Nov 7 Posted 2 years ago
Contests are a great way to bring people to a brand, but don't seal affinity and I think that's one of the key points this post makes. If running a contest is your way, be prepared to back it up with an ongoing stream of intersting, engaging content. Frequency, as Amy suggests, is probably a factor in not dropping out of streams but the meta point is about substance.
I think the missing piece here is understanding what your customers care about and creating content that speaks to this. That's how you grow and maintain engagements on Facebook and other online touchpoints.
Nov 7 Posted 2 years ago
Great Article. Is it possible to pay Facebook to be included in all your fan's newsfeeds?
Nov 7 Posted 2 years ago
Thanks, Amy. You and I agree. A contest CAN be done right. So can a sweepstakes. Most that I see, however, are not. As you point out, it's about the award, the targetig, the interaction, etc. Giving away virtual Farmville crap is the way to do Facebook wrong; offering a prize that would be uniquely interesting to the brand's unique audience is tougher, probably smaller, but definitely more valuable.
Thanks for the feedback! -
Nov 7 Posted 2 years ago
Nice article, and I agree with most of what you've said.
I do disagree somewhat with what you've said about competitions not being a good way of gaining fans.
In my opinion, a competition executed correctly is a good way of raising brand awareness and simultaneously, gaining fans on your social media channels.
The fact is that most brands hold a competition at some point or another, some do it many times, meaning that they must be getting something out of it, or why would they keep doing it?
I know of one company in particular, who built their Facebook page largely through competitions, and now they have a pretty loyal, and active, fanbase.
I think they key is in the prize - don't give away something *everyone* wants. Give away an iPad and you'll get 1 million + likes on your Facebook page, but how many will have an interest in your products?
However, give away one of your products, or if you don't have a product to give away, something that only your customer base would be interested in, and you're going to be targeting people who *do* have some sort of interest in what you do.I think you also need to milk the brand buzz that forms during the competition for all it's worth. People are going to be more responsive to your Facebook page during this time, so be sure to make the most of it, and get your edgerank up. And don't abandon your page once the competition finishes - keep posting daily to ensure you don't drop of the edge of the newsfeed planet.
Either way - running a competition doesn't have to cost much, and I can't see any way in which it would do harm (unless you start breaking laws or something). I'd always tell a company to go for it.
