Told some friends

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 3:04:37 PM

Our "Tell a Friend" contest ended on Monday at 12:00 CST. There were a number of great entries, but ultimately three contestants were slightly more persuasive in convincing their friends to check out Opera 9.5.

andrew3105. Winner of our contest who managed to convince 378 of his friends on vkontakte.ru (Russia's biggest social networking site) to check out Opera 9.5. For his great effort he will be rewarded with a brand new mobile phone.
juanchito2006. Second place with 186 friends who joined his group. His Facebook group featured videos, images and frequent updates about Opera 9.5. A brand new Nintendo Wii is on its way to him.
Tamil. Tamil rounded out the top three with 150 members in two groups he created. The first group was hosted here on My Opera. His second group was on Orkut with 15 members. He will receive arguably the most unique of our prizes, an OX OLPC.

Thanks again to everyone who participated! Your continued effort to tell your family and friends is highly appreciated! Thanks for the support.

Never heard of an OLPC before. After searching YouTube, I am now terrified of it.

Hi friend

congrats guys!

what's an OX OLPC?

Daniel Sitnikdanielcs # Friday, July 11, 2008 12:35:47 AM

Congrats to the winners!

OLPC is the One Laptop Per Child initiative, whose aim is to sell cheap laptops to in-development countries. The laptops are targeted at children so it can help in their education.

The OX is the laptop produced by OLPC, it is the 100 dollar laptop that some of you might already read/heard about. I don't know if it comes with a default browser but I know there's an Opera version for it.
