Win an iPod shuffle!

Podcast News is offering podcasters and podcast listeners a unique opportunity to win an iPod shuffle.

Podcasting News is giving away an iPod shuffle 512mb to thank people for contributing to the Podcast Directory, the only major podcast directory that lets you add and edit your own links.

To participate, just add a podcast link to the Podcast Directory between now and March 19th, 2005. Add two podcasts and double your chances. Add three podcasts, and triple your chances! Up to ten podcast additions per user will be considered for the contest.

The winner will be selected randomly from podcast links added between Feb 19th & March 19th, 2005.

Adding a Podcast

• Login or Register at the site. This is necessary, or we'd have the Internet Viagra podcast directory.
• If the podcast isn't new, search the Podcast Directory to make sure that the podcast hasn't already been added.
• Browse the Directory to find the best category. When you find the right category, select Add Link.
• Enter the Podcast Name, Description, and Podcast Feed URL.
• Rinse & repeat!

Contest Rules

• Add any podcast you like.
• Add multiple podcasts, up to ten. One chance per podcast addition.
• Podcast additions will be screened for duplicates and relevancy. Bogus links, bad entries and duplicates will be deleted at Podcasting News discretion, and will not be considered for the giveaway.
• The winner will be selected randomly from the list of valid submissions added between Feb 19th & March 19th, 2005, and will be announced in the Podcasting News forum.
• By participating, you agree not to lay some obscure Internet contest legal mumbo-jumbo on us. It's just a friggin' iPod shuffle!

• Weighs only .78 of an ounce
• Up to 12 hours of continuous playback
• Play MP3, AAC and audiobooks
• Charge in four hours via USB or optional Power Adapter
