Here is a very short list of things that are awesome:
Birthdays
Free stuff
Recently, I learned that the first version of Messenger shipped on July 22,
1999. I checked my calendar, did a little math, and realized, Hey! Messenger is
about to turn seven!
Always looking for an excuse to celebrate, I started thinking… “Let’s throw a
birthday party!”
I talked to Kerry, a fellow PM, who asked three super-awesome companies, 3H,
Kiwee, & Quebles, if they’d like to help celebrate. They must have known about
the very short list of things that are awesome, because they said “Absolutely!”
and made fantastic free “party favors” such as winks, backgrounds, emoticons,
and dynamic display pictures to celebrate the big day.
To congratulate Messenger for making it to the ripe old age of seven, Kerry and
I developed this scheme to try and get as many people as possible spreading the
“Happy birthday, Messenger!” message…but we need your help!
1) Checkout the links below, and download whichever “Happy Birthday!” items
you want – they’re ALL FREE – designed just for this occasion.
- 3H
- Kiwee (American Greetings Interactive)
- Quebles (Mobile Money)
2) Show them off and tell people how to get them too. Share the
backgrounds, send the winks, use the emoticons and display pictures. If you’re a
blogger – put links to the free stuff on your blog, or trackback to this post.
On the big day, July 22, I’ll tally up all the people who helped celebrate (by
downloading the free stuff). Let’s shoot for the biggest, baddest, birthday
bash ever!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER!
