Introducing Facebook Fan and Twitter Follower of the Week Contest!

Monday, September 12th, 2011

You guys have been such great members of our online community, we wanted to find a way to give a little something back. We think we’ve found it.

Starting Monday September 12, waze is going to be looking for a fan of the week on our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/wazeapp) and a follower of the week of our twitter page (www.twitter.com/waze).

Each week we will select both a fan and a follower who we feel has stood out in an a-waze-ing way (funny no?) and send them an awesome piece of swag!

Waze you can earn brownie points on Facebook: Liking and commenting on our posts, sharing our content, putting nice things on our page wall, tagging yourself in waze pictures (when applicable), tagging waze (@waze) in your status updates, making us smile :) etc.

Waze you can earn brownie points on twitter:  Reply, Re-tweet, and by being a super-enthusiastic waze brand ambassador of course.

To celebrate our first week we’re gonna be giving away some beautiful waze sunshades (as seen in the pic below) to our fan and follower of the week.

So what are you waiting for??? Like and RT away!!
