Where can I find out who won a MakeUseOf Giveaway?

Rajaa Chowdhury asks:

How does the MakeUseOf Giveaway winner come to know that she / he has won? I do not see any specific section on MakeUseOf to announce the winners. Would be great, if a dedicated section can be assigned for it.

Rajaa,

Giveaway winners are contacted by email.

Once winners have been confirmed, they are posted on the respective Giveaway article. This can take some time.

The winners are announced on twitter @makeuseof. You can see there, who has won the giveaway.

Also, a pic of them holding the giveaway is posted on facebook. So if you’re on a social networking site, you get to know who won it :)

Tina – Winners are not contacted couple of times.

For Rajaa

1. Winners are announced on the main blog. So you have to keep checking the giveaway page.

2. Winners are also required (at times) to email to jackson within a week, if not – license is lost.

Yes, this is very important i think..
But, Tina said the winner contacted via email, so useless to see the main blog, the point is, if you are not contacted then you are not the winner..

Damn i never get email… :D

Aye, winners are announced at the bottom of the article page when the period ends. The winners specifically receive the good news by email.

Just keep an eye on the giveaway article page. Not sure whether the winners are connected by email…

I have always asked myself this question. But it would be encouraging if MUO would have a dedicated place where winner are announced. So other might see and confirm that all this is not a fake…thanks
