Shop208 Beta

The Prizes

Grand Prize: 16 GB iPod Nano

The new iPod Nano is probably my favorite iPod. With the new video and FM radio it has a lot of great functionality. We are giving out one to our grand prize winner. Winner may choose any color. (Retail value: $179)

Second Place: $25 iTunes Gift Card

Movies, books, music. Use it for whatever most entertains you. (Retail value: $25. Obviously.)

How to Enter

You don’t have to do any nonsense that doesn’t relate to the site or community. We want to keep it simple to participate, so here are the details.

Create a free profile on Shop208 Beta and fill out your basic profile information. This would include:

• Name (use a real name)
• A profile photo
• city (You must live in Idaho)
• Favorites

Any profiles that are left empty won’t qualify for the contest. If you already have a profile, just make sure that you filled out enough information and you will qualify for the contest. Winners will be chosen November 27, 2009. So enter right away. Pretty simple!

Winners will be chosen at random from the qualifying profiles. Get started:

Oh, and don’t forget to add me (Nathan Barry) as a friend once you join.

I am happy to announce that members now have the ability to upload photos to their profiles!

We are still working on adding more functionality like multiple galleries, bulk photo upload, and more. But in the mean time go to your profile and click on Album to start uploading photos.

For an example of this functionality you can take a look at some photos I just uploaded:

Enjoy!

If you don’t already have a Shop208 profile you can request an invite at Shop208.com. We look forward to having you join our community.

Wow. We made it. It is really exciting to see the first version of Shop208 go live. Even if it doesn’t yet have all the features and is only in beta.

We know the site has some bugs that still need to be worked out. What we ask from you is that you help identify them so we can make improvements quickly and efficiently. We truly believe Shop208 will be a great platform for local business and appreciate you for jumping on board early.
