WHAT?!?!

After weeks of slaving away trying to get points for this competition, a little birdie tells us that Ryan has over 400 points!!!

WHAT?!?!

Is it a rumor made up to scare us and make us loose hope and stop trying? Or has he really created some techie machine to invite everyone!!

I think its time for some friendly sabotage from the product interns

haha jk.........

maybe...

Snacking Increases Productivity

Here we are posing after our amazing feat of strength, intellect, and courage.
Hillary and Stephanie (Product Interns Extraordinaire) are extremely proud to announce that they have consumed an ENTIRE box of Chewy Granola Bars not once, not twice, but THREE times in the past month... (ok..ok...so maybe Jennifer ate one out of that last box)

Suspicions...

As you well know, we over here on the product side have been dutifully keeping our massive viewing audience well-informed of our statistics throughout the big Intern Contest. However, despite verbal reminders from the product interns, the dev interns, a.k.a. the Nerdlets, have yet to post their statistics....Are they trying to hide their stats from us? Have they not started yet? Are they busy building a robot to auto-invite the entire population of the Continental US? Could they be intimidated by our astronomically high numbers? So if any Nerdlets are reading this right now: COME OUT OF HIDING YOU PANSIES! just kidding!!

...but really, how many points do you have??


Meanwhile, the product interns guesstimated the point scale to come up with a closer approximation of their scores. The estimations are as follows:
Jennifer: 153
Hillary: 106
Stephanie: 101

Stay tuned for news of our mission to infiltrate enemy lines to get their data....

Love always,
The Product Interns (Hillary, Stephanie and Jennifer)

Contest Update!!!

After a week, the intern contest is still in full swing!! The Facebook ShareThis group has now grown to 317 members!!

The scores are as follows:
Stephanie - 96 (ish)
Hillary and Jennifer - tied at 62!! its going to be a tough battle between these two!
Ryan, Mike and Joel -??? don't think they've started yet...

BUT WAIT! There's a catch!! The interns only get one point for every friend who joins their group, but they get 5 points for every friend who registers with an account at sharethis.com and 10 points for those who import their contacts to make their own address book. So watch out Stephanie!!!

Part Two: Revenge of the Talking Laptop

As promised, here it is! The other day, as most of the Product Team was in Suite 10 downstairs in a meeting, Hillary was dancing away at Irish Dance Camp, and Jennifer was MIA, my laptop began eating everything in sight! Water bottles, papers, chairs, anything! 

GOTCHA! My laptop did not actually begin to eat things. Instead, it seems that Manu and Jeremy were partners in crime in this little scheme. Manu was the genius behind the idea, yet Jeremy was the executer. In response to them, I have but one word to say: karma.

Intern Contest

Yesterday morning the interns were presented with the challenge of a lifetime: Get all of their friends to download the button AND import their contacts! On August 6th, the intern who has recruited the most friends will be presented with an iPod Touch!

The product interns quickly moved to send out mass invitations to the ShareThis Facebook group, while the nerdlets went old-school and sent out personalized emails.

As of 4:34 on Wednesday July 9th, the score for the product interns stands thus:

Stephanie: 78
Jennifer: 41
Hillary: 44

Watch out Stephanie, an upset could be in the very near future... :)
