twittermoms-Samsung

Samsung have you lost your minds?

Seriously, you are going to continue to work with a group who can’t stick to rules, and who can not remove cheaters? This seals it for me with my new home I move into on December 1st this year. NOTHING Samsung will enter that home, ever for any reason. I am even pitching my Samsung Eternity cell phone and going to go pay FULL PRICE for an iPhone, because I refuse to be connected to a company who can not stand up for morals and honesty.

I noticed TwitterMoms closed comments so noone can voice their negative take on this contest. Lucky for all of us we have BLOGS, so we can just come here and talk, talk, talk our little hearts out and not have it removed or silenced.

You actually paid good money to have someone who (from her actions) has no honesty of her own to host a LARGE giveaway on your behalf. Are you purposefully trying to connect your company as being one who supports cheaters and unethical contests?

I noticed the rules are still there for the contest, however they were NOT followed by Twitter moms. They did not select a winner per the posted rules. They also did not follow their OWN time line for ending and announcing the winner. They are a week late to be exact. I surely hope you (Samsung) will rethink your association with TwitterMoms for all future en-devours as this one did not make either of you look good.

One final thought for you, I didnt even enter this contest, but how it was ran moved me to write about the lack of concern for cheating that happened. What lesson does this teach the youth of this great country? Feel free to leave me a comment, I WON’T be deleting them, and I WILL respond. Want to e-mail me? Go for it: Blog4Mom [at] att[dot]net

I didn’t enter this contest either but I feel sorry for all those people who did and got duped by Twitter Moms. Because of this I am canceling my membership to Twitter Moms and like you, will no longer buy Samsung appliances. They should both be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed!

    It is very very sad, that a large company has no more ethics than to uphold the rules of a contest. This is community blogging at it’s WORST.

And the winner they chose did not even fully qualify it sounds like…didn’t display the badge and didn’t even have a single comment on her entry post.

I too made a post on this issue but it is from a different side. I did participate in the contest and lost
Sure I’m a bit upset but I see if from another different side.

This whole contest was an epic fail. Twittermoms is just using us bloggers and it makes me sad for the community as a whole that she has gotten away with it this long.

I had this put aside and was planning to enter. I never got a chance to because YOU were helping me with my website. I am so glad I didn’t waste my time. When I enter contests like this, for me it’s very time consuming and my time is precious to me. Not only would I have been pissed that I didn’t win but I would of had to go kick ass for wasting all that precious time.

are you KIDDING me? November 4, 2009

for real?? You have NOTHING better to complain about in your lives? Count your blessings, shut up and move on!

Good for you for speaking your mind about a topic you’re passionate about. It’s no secret that many companies pay moms and bloggers to promote for them – I’m not familiar with this particular contest so I can’t comment if this was the case here but I’m happy to see folks who stand up for what they believe in. Kudos!
