Update on the Wimgo Ad-Lib Contest – Another iPad Winner!

Hey all,

Thanks again to everyone who participated in our Wimgo Ad-lib iPad giveaway. We understand that there may have been some confusion over the specifics of how our winner was chosen so just to be sure that everyone is covered, we have decided to award another iPad to a completely random entrant!! Look, we like giving away prizes, and we like happy, happy contest participants. Ergo, our additional, random winner is (drum roll)…

Katie McClelland of OKC!

Katie’s winning post was…

I know a jellyfish who hoodwinked a donkey after discovering the awesomeness of Wimgo!

Thanks Katie. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on how to claim your prize.

Once more, thanks to everyone for the super rad tweets! Be on the look out for more great contests and giveaways from Wimgo!

Our latest addition to the Wimgo family…

Cannen Ace

Cannen Ace

Well, it’s official. Our Wendy with Wimgo is a new mom.

Tuesday night, she and her husband Kyle welcomed little Cannen Ace (pronounced cannon) into the world. Although just a newborn, I’m told he’s currently setting up his social media accounts and already has some ideas he’d like to discuss regarding our upcoming promotions. Honestly, I made that part up. Newborns, I’m told, cannot speak. (Yes, I asked about the E-Trade baby and was told that was all done with computers.)

So, if you’re like me, you’re probably freaking out right now. Where’s Wendy? What are we going to do without Wendy? Where’s my latte? Etc. After some deliberation we decided it was only fair for her to get some time off. She absolutely deserves it, and I think it’s a law. So, Wendy will be hanging out with the fam for a while. Because no one of us can do the work of one Wendy, several members of the Wimgo team will be taking on her duties while she’s out.

For the most part, Summer will be handling our Twitter and Facebook updates so be sure to follow @Wimgo and the Wimgo twitter account for your city, and fan Wimgo on Facebook. There you can get to know Summer and stay up to date on all the amazing things happening here at Wimgo and in your community. Mick, Mike and myself will also continue to help out. So, you’ll likely hear the four of us on the radio, watch us in videos, and we’ll probably pop up in other places where you might normally expect to see Wendy. Regardless, you can rest assured that we are still here for you, day and night, if you ever need help, information or just a friend to listen.

Please join us in congratulating Wendy and Kyle on the arrival of Cannen Ace. And, thanks to all of you for your continued support of Wimgo.
