How the iPhone winner from Viddler TARDED out!

by Patrick Algrim

Okay, hello everyone. I apologize in advance for the bad grammar. But I am extremely shocked right now and decided this is the best way to share.

So, I love viddler.com and created an account under the username “thepda”. Well, I was using the account through the month of July, in which I only found a small amount of time to create “MeTodays”

Well, I never thought that I would win the iPhone contest that Viddler was having for the “MeToday” videos during the month of July. So I just created a couple of MeTodays and mostly watched other people like iJustine and DjSteen on Viddler. I mostly watched and commented since I had a crappy camera.

Well, as of today Friday NOVEMBER 30th!, I googled my name like most people do, only to find that I had WON the contest! I had won the 1 in 1000 chance of winning an iPhone through viddler! I only made one video!

BUT, throughout that time, I had changed usernames to help promote THIS site! I mostly watched iJustine video’s and Brent Spore’s video’s, commented a bit, and stayed in touch. But I had a bad camera and could only make one video through the username “hellyeahdude”!

I don’t know why, but I completely tarded out by using a different email address for my username “thepda” than I use regularly. So I never got an email notification, because I never checked that email address!

I completely understand if Viddler didn’t keep the iPhone for such a long time! It has almost been 3 months! Currently I have sent a reply message to cdevroe (co-owner of Viddler) hoping to talk to him. But, I have no high hopes for an iPhone really being there! So I am in shock, I am also pooping my pants.
