I spent about a week trying to understand how the Habr administration (and of course its audience) relates to contests. After a long analytical analysis and statistics calculation, I decided to go eat, and then write a small text about my competition, which is not aimed at developers, but at ordinary users of Google Chrome browser. If I remember correctly, no one has yet tried to hold contests among users of apps for Chrome, so I’ll be the first to go.
Prehistory
Recently, I wrote a
post about the cloud player Listen! for Google Chrome, and received quite decent feedback. From that moment about a month passed, during which I tried to correct all the errors that were in the application, and also added many of the wishes of the users, without weighing down the player interface itself. For example, this month appeared:
- LastFM scrobbling and recommendations based on scored data
- adding tracks to your wall
- download music from computer to wall by drag-n-drop files in the application window
- most popular tracks from performers
- settings, navigation and support shortcuts
- ... and other nice little things

But my desire for beauty cannot leave me, and for Chrome users to see the benefits of new applications, about which Google I / O talked so much, I want to hold a small contest that promotes new applications and Listen! in particular. After all, the competition from an independent developer - it is always
clearer and more like a competition from large companies. Moreover, the rules are simple, and there are seven prizes at once.
Prizes, gifts, that's all
To participate in the contest, it is enough to
install the Listen application! and log in to it, and also make a repost of this record on VKontakte . On December 12, a special program will count all those who made repost and randomly select 7 winners. One winner will receive a
Jawbone Jambox wireless speaker. Another winner will get a
Beats Solo headset. And immediately, five people will get
Dancing Water Speakers - great speakers, inside of which water dances to the beat with music.

There are restrictions about which I wrote on the contest page (prizes can be picked up in St. Petersburg and Moscow, you must have 50 friends and something else). Good luck to everyone and let "you get lucky"!
