So are we supposed to mention a link here? My modest mission is to spread the good cause among Opera Mini fans: http://my.opera.com/opera.mini/blog/2008/06/14/opera-9-5-and-opera-link

Edit: Although this cause of mine must be disqualified already because it's not an new group aka there are old members on that group :wink:

Friday, 20. June 2008, 23:58:56 (edited)

I'll be participating. Expect me to edit this post with all the latest infos.

Edit: I give up. I started by making a thread on RLLMUK before this competition was announced. Once I knew about the competition I created a Facebook Event to highlight that Opera 9.5 was available to download. Whilst one person messaged me saying they'd download it, and three people accepted the invite / downloaded Opera, the majority of people hated the spammy nature of Facebook's event invite.

Yes, simply add a link to a site where you've promoted Opera (9.5). You can for example ask group members to write a comment if they've downloaded and tried Opera, etc. Anything goes, really. The submissions will be evaluated by representatives from Opera's marketing department.
Edit: The social networking group has to be newly established with you as the owner. This is to make sure everyone starts from scratchs and has an equal opportunity to win one of the three great prizes. An Opera representative will review both number of members, but also the group itself (theme, day created, messaging, etc.). In cases where it's difficult for you to show us how many users have joined, either send an email to: erich[at]opera.com or contact me via private message and we'll take it from there.

This was not specified in the rules, but the purpose is to create a new group/event and help continue supporting the launch of Opera 9.5.

Okay, in that case the site is http://my.opera.com/opera.mini/

Edit: Besides I'm trying to promote Opera 9.5 on that site anyway :wink:

So, the site I mentioned here has to be disqualified after all? I really don't mind. It's more important that rules become clear for everyone :smile:

Edit: Yes, I decided to disqualify myself. Instead I advertise this contest, Opera 9.5, Opera Link and Opera Mini on that blog. Good luck folks! :D

I run a ton of Ning's and groups within Ning. My best one now has a group in it for Opera!
I also have a banner to get Opera 9.5 on the whole network! It's the only browser that works well with Ning anyway. P:

Hey man, the journal you linked isn't dedicated to Opera 9.5.
Have you also read a comment from the Opera person in the previous posts? He says:

This is correct. The entry must clearly promote Opera 9.5 and also be newly created.

I made a Facebook Application to support Opera!

All those with accounts on facebook, support you favourite browser, add the "Opera 9dot5" application!
To add app click here: http://apps.facebook.com/operaninedotfive/

Once added the application adds an Opera badge (profile box) to your face book profile. It adds on to the narrow side so you dont have to worry about crowding your profile page.

Fan pages can add the app too!

Yeah, I didn't expect that also, Tamil. But the greatest unexpected one prize goes to andrew3105 :smile: I should have guessed since Opera is quite popular in Russia, but didn't check.

I guess you should have entered the contest first. Colombia is a main source of premium quality flowers, if you're interested.
