The Fantastic Facebook Challenge
Facebook Status
Pug Sage: Just because I walk around with a banana in my ear doesn't mean I am insane. I am merely creatively accessorized."
This month's contest is simple. We expect tons of entries and have turned over the judging of the contest to our arbiter of good taste and man with a plan, the Sagacious Swami of Spin.
Here's what you have to do: Merely write a one or two sentence status. You know, like you do on Facebook, or vkontakte.ru, or odnoklassniki.ru.
The most interesting, funny, insightful, creatively stimulating entry wins the prize. Since last month we gave the store away, we've gone back down in the Willard wine cellar to come up with a big bottle of Baileys Irish Cream. It's guaranteed to please.
That's it, a simple line or two. As always, employees of Willard are not allowed to enter, even under pseudonyms and wearing fake handlebar mustaches.
If you do win, you will also receive a genuine certificate of achievement and be featured in the March edition of Willard Marketing Monthly.
Send entries to oksana.yerofeyeva@twg.com.ua
Good luck.

More Ukrainians say they trust so-called "new" media over traditional media but 70 per cent say they would not pay for access to online content.These are just two of the findings in a major study by iVOX* Ukraine on the attitudes of Ukrainian internet users toward traditional and new media.
