Contest : 2 free passes to Predictive Analytics World

I got some good news from the fine people at Predictive Analytics World.

 you qualify for 2 free passes to the PAW NYC event October 16-20, 2011.  I will be sending you a code to use for registration to receive these passes within the next couple of days.

If you cannot attend our PAW NYC event, please feel free to use these two free passes as a promotional tool within your blog.

Now I have been partnering with PAW for a long time, so it is nice to have free passes. I am grateful for their support of this blog. Therein lies my dilemma. I am in India, and a return ticket from NYC to India costs 1100$. Unless something drastic happens , I dont see myself with that kind of travel money.

Ergo.

I am offering two free passes to Predictive Analytics World . http://predictiveanalyticsworld.com/

All you need to do is – ahem- cough-

  1. like the Facebook Page of Decisionstats.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Decisionstats/217450141605435 OR
  2.  Add me to a Google circle https://plus.google.com/116302364907696741272/posts OR
  3. Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/0_h_r_1

AND


  1. Read one of my poems at my poetry blog at http://poemsforkush.wordpress.com/ and leave a comment with your email id please . It’s a promotion for my next book “Poets and Hackers” due for release in 2 weeks.
The 2 free passes are for any 2 days of the PAW NYC event.  This free pass may not be used for Text Analytics World conference being held the same week.  Please have your Contest winners use the Free Code:  XXXXXXXX.  This code will be good for two uses in registering. 
Thats ‘it. Two free passes , and go for it if you are around NYC in October. NY is a lovely place and I am wearing my red FDNY T shirt as I am typing this.

What do you get?

The Best of Google Plus Week 3- Top 1/0

 

While the funny GIFs continue in week 3, I find more and more people using this to paste their blog articles- so another channel to create and spread content.

I am waiting for certain features-

  1. Importing my Orkut data seamlessly into Google Plus
  2. The Gaming Channel using Zynga- Open Social Games
  3. Hangout to have screen sharing as well as screen recording (or export to Youtube features)
  4. Better integration of Sparks based activity.
  5. Also if existing Youtube comments/fan communities can utilize G+ accounts too
Anyways, after all that violence and double talk- the best content in Week 3 as per my Google + stream.
