    We're having a holiday trivia contest on Twitter.com today, where we'll be giving away up to $780 in mimobot merchandise! That's up to 12 winners, each getting $65 gift certificates that can be used on lab.mimoco.com. Check out the rules below, and hope to see you over there!

    Happy holidays from mimoco and the mimobots!

    mimobot holiday trivia contest rules on Twitter.com:

    General Rules:
    1. You must "follow" mimobot on Twitter.com to be eligible for the contest. To "follow" mimobot, go to www.Twitter.com/mimobot and click the "follow" button to receive Twitter updates from mimobot in your Twitter feed. (Note: you must create or be signed into your Twitter account before you can follow other members.)
    2. Once you are a mimobot "follower", you can then eligibly respond to the trivia questions. To answer trivia questions, you must use the @ syntax to respond. For example, when responding directly to the mimobot trivia question, your answer should begin with: @mimobot (i.e, "@mimobot 42 is the answer!").
    3. All entries that do not abide by the first two rules above will be disqualified. Don't worry, you can still enter future trivia question rounds if you did not qualify based on the two rules above. Just be sure to "follow" mimobot and use the @mimobot syntax to respond for the next time.
    4. The first mimobot follower to correctly respond to the trivia question wins the prize for that round. The order of responses will be judged by the message time stamp as indicated by Twitter.
    5. If you are the winner of a round, mimobot will first send a Direct Message via Twitter as notification. Winner will also be announced publicly in the mimobot Twitter feed. Please do not Direct Message mimobot to find out if you are the winner. All winners will be notified approximately 5-30 minutes after the trivia question is answered correctly. If you are the winner, please respond to the Direct Message with your email address so that you may claim your prize.
    6. No cry babies, whiners, poor losers, party poopers, or pouters allowed. mimobot has the right to ban any member from the mimobot "follower" list.
    7. Have fun!

    4. The subsequent trivia questions (up to eleven questions) will be presented at mimobot's discretion anytime after a new question has been qualified for through the addition of 12 new "followers" as described above.
