Shout-out your passion and win!
MANILA, Philippines - In the new digital age, becoming an online sensation doesn’t require putting up a video or even listing your life in a blog to show your passion. The next phase is in status messages and shout-outs. What reigns Supreme now is big ideas that are witty, imaginative and K.I.S.S-able (Keep It Short and Simple!). Less is more in making your digital first impression. You are not anymore as beautiful as you look but as what you share and say in an instant, whether it be a phrase, a picture of even a sound bite. Samsung, the leader in digital technology, is celebrating this new phase in web 2.0 with its Samsung I Imagine Shout-Out Making contest.
If you are a 15-to 25-year-old college student in Metro Manila, register and log on to http:/www.samsungimagine.com/ph, click on the banner ad, and post a rock out shout out that can only be written by you. Let passion meet imagination as you show the digital world who you are in a sentence or two.
