Avoid the lines, save time, and win an iPad®!

Use Localmind to find the shortest lines and the best deals around town. As a special promotion for Black Friday, when you check in and answer any question this coming Friday, you will become eligble to win fabulous prizes. Here’s how it works:

1. Sign up

If haven’t already, grab the Localmind app and sign up. No iOS device? That’s OK! See below.

2. Connect Foursquare®

Connect your Foursquare account to Localmind (under Profile/Settings).

3. Check in

Check in with Foursquare anywhere you shop on Black Friday (11/25/2011).

4. Answer and Win!

The best answers on Black Friday win!

The holidays can get busy. Localmind is here to help.

Use Localmind to find the shortest lines, locate the hard-to-get items on your shopping list, route around traffic, and participate in the holiday fun in your community. This contest is just an example! We’ll be paying attention to all the creative ways people use Localmind this season, and the best ones will go on our blog.

On Friday, check out all the Black Friday activity at http://www.localmind.com/blackfriday2011:

The rules:

1. We’ve giving away an iPad 2, an iPod Touch, and a $50 Apple gift certificate for the three best answers to Localmind questions on Black Friday 2011 (11/25/2011).
2. Answer as many questions as you like, but you are only eligible to win one prize.
3. You must share the answer on Twitter (tap the Twitter icon before submitting your answer).
4. Answers will be judged on: creativity, quality of the answer (a photo attached to the answer is highly encouraged!), how quickly the answer is received, and how many times other Twitter users re-tweet your answer.
5. If you do not have an iPhone, or do not receive a question, simply tweet a photo of a crowd with a mention of “@Localmind” and “#blackfriday” to enter the contest.
6. Entries will be judged by their creativity and how well they capture the frenzy of Black Friday, so writing a Perl script to sign up a thousand Foursquare and Localmind accounts will not increase your chance of winning. (Localmind likes the way you think, though; have you perused our jobs page lately?)
7. Apple® is not a participant in or sponsor of this promotion. iPad® and iPod touch® are registered trademarks of Apple Inc.
8. Complete contest rules can be found here.

Happy Holidays from Team Localmind, and good luck!
