ABOUT SUMMIT ON THE SUMMIT
Summit on the Summit is an amazing 50-mile, 19,340 foot expedition to fight the global water crisis led by Grammy-nominated musician, philanthropist and “actionist” Kenna and his supporters Jessica Biel, Isabel Lucas, Lupe Fiasco,Alexandra Cousteau and other global influencers.
YOU can get involved by visiting www.summitonthesummit.com and sponsoring a foot of the 50-mile journey (it’s just $2). Your $2 foot sponsorship brings us steps closer (200 liters to be exact) to providing clean drinking water to those in need.
HP ON THE SUMMIT
Once the climb begins, the team will use the HP Pavilion dm3t and HP Mini 110 by Studio Tord Boontje with Intel processors to capture, blog and share photos and videos from Mt. Kilimanjaro with supporters on the official Summit on the Summit website www.summitonthesummit.com. The base camp will be outfitted with the high-powered HP TouchSmart PC to help track each climber’s progress, monitor weather conditions and capture every aspect of the climb. The HP MediaSmart Server will serve as backup storage for all the climb team’s media content.
wow is this gift lmited to any city? or country or will you deliver my HP anywhere XD?
I’m wondering if you’d consider revising your rules for the giveaway? I started tweeting the giveaway when I learned about it yesterday and now I see my exact tweets retweeted by my followers without my twitter username on it. The tweets are copied and pasted exactly, even down to my spaceless hypen, without the required RT @username. Why? Because, I’m sure that in this case, it’s every tweeter for himself and everyone retweeting wants the laptop, too. While I appreciate the sentiment in getting the word out to everyone about such an important and altruistic cause, I don’t think the motives of some retweeters are as giving.
In addition, a giveaway such as this turns into a popularity contest and makes the odds grossly unfair to new Twitter users who may not have had a chance to cultivate a large Twitter following.
Would you consider making it a random drawing with retweets being allowed every two hours for extra entries into the giveaway? Every 2 hour tweets would make sure the stink-eye of the Twitter spam gods aren’t drawn down upon anyone unfairly and gives everyone, even new Twitter users, fair odds.
Love HP and this is a wonderful gift!!! Thank you to inhabitat for all the wonderful ways you are making this a better place to live!!!
Thank you for the chance to win this green laptop and good luck on your journey to the top! @jillyrh
