Life Changing

Here’s an unusual promotion and an interesting way to use a
Facebook application to build the buzz about, presumptively , a new
product. I added a widget over on the sidebar so you can keep up with the progress.

The Life Changing Box is possibly the first big-ticket,
promotional Facebook app. You have a chance to win 20 prizes with
values ranging from $400 to $14,000, including a 52-inch super-
big flat screen TV, home theaters, tickets to exclusive baseball
games, domestic and international trips, and more.

The game resembles Hot Potato in reverse. But the potato is a
box, and inside each box is a prize. The goal is to be in
possession of the box when it opens, thus winning the prize.

There are 10 boxes total and the game lasts four weeks. To gain
possession of a box, participants use a currency called a
“Touch.” All players get 24 touches per day. Each Touch enters
the player into a round.

Part of the fun of Facebook is the option to invite your friends
to install an application you enjoy. If someone you invited into
the game wins a prize, you win the exact same prize.

But you must be extremely patient to understand out how this
works. And you’ll have to endure the headache-inducing white
print on a black background on the social media press release
that explains the game at http://lifechangingbox.smnr.us. (If you
can’t figure it out, please don’t ask me to explain it).

You can start playing the game by visiting my Facebook page
here. Then tell your friends about it. By
the way, the Facebook site has been down several hours today. If
you can’t get to my page, try again later today.

Who knows…..maybe it’ll change my life AND yours!
