    Jonny's Partay MIMOBOT Giveaway

    Here at Mimoco, we're quite fond of our furry little friends - in fact, we have a de facto office cat and dog that come in occasionally and shed on your favorite MIMOBOT drives! Well, now we've got a chance to help out the four-legged denizens of this world who are short on hope - our friend Jonny of JonnysPartay.com is running a contest to raise awareness about puppies in shelters who need homes. I, for one, can't think of a cuter cause.


    Check out the contest here, and take advantage of your opportunity to win a tokidoki for MIMOBOT design!


    Thanks Jonny, and best of luck!

    Last chance to win a tokidoki Prize Pack!

    Hey all, needed to let you know something very, very important - it's your LAST CHANCE to win a tokidoki Prize Pack! The prize pack consists of a hard-to-find tokidoki for LeSportsac bag, a limited-edition tokidoki for MIMOBOT, and a one-of-a-kind vinyl toy - yes, a Vimobot! - hand-painted by Simone Legno, the genius behind tokidoki!

    To enter, either pre-order (or buy... soon, my pretties...) a tokidoki for MIMOBOT at our lab, or sign up for the MIMOBOT newsletter. If you entered before and didn't win, enter again - each week is a clean slate!

    The final prize pack winner will be announced via our newsletter next Wednesday, April 23rd, and you have until 11:59pm Tuesday the 22nd to enter. What are you waiting for? Why are you still here?!? Get over to the lab and buy a tokidoki for MIMOBOT before it's too late!

    Oh, and if you're interested, below is a picture of the prize pack (note: we have five different designs of the Vimobot... yours may vary, they're all one-of-a-kind). Don't drool on your keyboard, the extended warranty doesn't cover that.

    mimobot holiday trivia contest on twitter.com

    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!

    1. mimobot will pose up to twelve trivia questions between the hours of 3PM and 11:59PM Eastern time on Monday, December 24, 2007.
    2. The first of twelve trivia questions will be posed at mimobot's discretion.
    3. Up to eleven subsequent trivia questions will be presented, one question for every 12 new mimobot "followers" added beyond mimobot's baseline of 221 "followers" (i.e., when mimobot reaches 233, 245, 257, etc., "followers").
    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.
    5. Each trivia question will have one winner, as determined by the first to correctly respond with the answer. The winner of each trivia question round will receive a gift certificate valued at $65 US Dollars redeemable at lab.mimoco.com.

    7. Have fun!
