Do you like stuff? We like to give you the stuffs. So here’s how we’re going to do it: Every time you follow one of the Boing Boing editors’ Twitter feed, we get an email. We’ll select from those emails at random and award a prize. If you’ve won, I’ll let you know by direct message on Twitter. We’ll do this all week or until we’re out of prizes. (That’s how I getcha! So at the least, you should follow us this week before you leave en masse next Monday.)
For each editor you follow you’ll gain another entry, so if you’re already following some of us you can still get a crack at winning by following another editor. (We started collecting entry emails since yesterday and will put all of those in the hat.)
That’s it. Easy. We get followers to squawk at about our bunions, you get stuff. I’ll be putting up a post a day until we have all the prizes distributed. As befits a Boing Boing contest, we’ve got a bunch of different stuff: a guitar; a videophone; some random iPod and iPhone cases; lingerie (!); and what I’ll be starting with today, three of these custom-printed Flip Mino HD camcorders from CafePress. (One per winner, of course.) More on the prizes as we go along.

(We always have questions about if these contests are okay for readers outside the U.S. or not. Because most of these prizes are being shipped direct from the companies, I can’t always promise that they’ll be able to be shipped to everyone, but I’ll do my best to work it out if it comes up. Let me know in the comments if you have any other questions.)
