mflow Competition

mflow has given us two pairs of tickets to their “Calm before the storm” party, featuring acoustic sets from two hotly-tipped musicians, Lauren Pritchard and Pete Lawrie at Ronnie Scott’s on 15 April (from 5.30pm).

To win a pair of these tickets, download mflow from www.mflow.com, using the invite code LBM2277 and answer the following question:

What is the name of Lauren Pritchard’s debut EP on mflow?

The first two people to email the correct answer to chris.reed@brewdigital.com will win tickets and + ones.

What’s mflow?

You might already be aware of mflow, it’s a new legal music discovery and sharing app which is a cross between Twitter and iTunes, currently in private Beta.

The way it works is that you are recommended music by people that you follow and in turn you can recommend music to your followers. And then, if you buy the music which is recommended to you, the person who recommends it gets 20% of what you paid credited to their account to say “thank you”.  (The NextWeb described it as “the social iTunes which pays its users”)

Well the nice people at mflow have given members of the London Bloggers Meetup early access to mflow to try it out before it goes public later this month.
So, if you’d like to rub shoulders with the likes of Zane Lowe, PopJustice, and NME on this social network with music at its heart then go to www.mflow.com, download the app and use the code LBM2277

Things like integration with Twitter and Facebook and blog-ready widgets are all in the pipeline before the public launch, but even without them it’s frighteningly addictive…

If you’d like to know a bit more about mflow before-hand, or to write it up, then do check out their blog, SMNR, or follow @mflow.

And if you’d like to know what others are saying about it first of all, try the Guardian (who describe mflow’s as “Twitter’s hipper little brother”), Stuff, or LBM’s very own Laurence Borel’s blog.

Competition: Win a Ticket to SMiBCon

Are you interested in social media in business? Have you heard of SMiBCon?

If not, find more information here or simply read on…

So what is SMiBCon?

A conference taking place on the 23rd October in London.

It is a one stop shop for business owners and CEOs, Marketing Managers, Public Relations, Human Resources, Advertising Creatives, Marketing Heads, Head of Communications, IT policy makers and marketers, to get to grips with how to use social media in business.

Have you ever wondered how to engage with online conversations about your company or brand? Or perhaps at what point to engage, or how to measure the impact of your initiatives, or maybe even what channels you should be looking at?

Well, it seems to me you will be able to get the answers to all of these questions and a whole lot more at SMiBCon. Some of the keynote speakers include:

  • #LBM member and SEO Chick Judith “deCabbit” talking about Online Reputation Management
  • Benjamin Ellis from Redcatco talking about Crowd Sourcing
  • Eaon Pritchard from Geronimo talking about Brand Engagement

The list of great speakers goes on.

Want to go along?

Well I have one free ticket to give away for London Bloggers Meetup members!

How do I get hold of said ticket? It’s easy, simply answer the question below in words, pictures, video, whatever format you like… the winner will be the one that either strikes a chord with me and the founder of SMiBCon Chris Hamblyor makes us laugh the most.

I deserve to win the free ticket to SMiBCon because…
