Giveaway: Win a Free Subscription to GOOD Magazine

Posted by Nathan / Nov 26, 2008 to Contests / 61 comments

I subscribed to GOOD Magazine a while back. They describe themselves as the magazine for people who "give a damn." I initially subscribed because of their transparency section - a series of fun infographics on some topic - in each issue, but it turned out the articles were interesting too. GOOD also gives 100% of their subscription fees to the non-profit of your choice.

Drawing for Free Subscription

Anyways, I never got around to renewing my subscription, so I got a 3-for-1 email offer the other day. I get 2 free subscriptions to GOOD with my renewal, so I thought, "Hey maybe a couple of FlowingData readers might enjoy a free subscription." Anyone? I'll make this easy on you all. If you'd like to win a free subscription, just leave a comment on this post that promises you'll tell one person about FlowingData. One entry per person, please.

I'll choose two winners at random Friday afternoon. If you win, you'll hear from me then. If not, I'd encourage you to subscribe anyways. It's only $20, and it all goes to charity. Make sure you leave a valid email address so that I'll be able to contact you.

P.S. FlowingData's got a contest involving two free Tufte books on the way. Keep an eye out.

UPDATE: Congratulations to our two winners drawn at random - Griffin and Brett! Thanks all for participating and helping our community grow.

    Sounds nice. Is the subscription 20$ only in US or it counts as well is Europe? I guess you have to count me in.

    Hey, I’ve been a reader for long and already told everyone about you when you wrote about one of the visualizations I developed while I was working at IBMs Many Eyes (http://flowingdata.com/2007/09/29/using-many-eyes-to-visualize-text/), but I’ll keep on spreading the word around and the best part is that I won’t have to lie at all, I really do love Flowing Data!

    Keep on the great work!

    I’m trying to put together an interdisciplinary seminar on information visualization, and I’ve already started recruiting students by sending them to FlowingData to see what a cool field this is. You can be sure I’ll be sending more!

    I am a new Media Student and haven’t got much money to spend these days. I do spend a lot of time trying to create more Dataviz/infoviz awereness through many blogs. I am doing a round-up for data visualization blogs right now (that means I tell more than 600 people about Flowing Data!)

    Thanks in advance :)

    Nathan,

    I will be sure to tell some friends about your site. You do a great job and have helped me a great deal with my work already, so it makes it easy to tell friends about it….

  • Erik
    Nov 26, 2008, 10:21 pm

    I tell anyone who I think might be interested about this site (and probably a few who aren’t as well!) Hope I get GOOD and lucky.

  • Tom

  • Amoah

    I already got Flowingdata 1 new RSS subscriber. I twitter cool posts pretty regularly. I can promise to tell not just one but all 110 people who follow me on twitter. That should win me something, right?

  • Tracy Boyer
    Nov 27, 2008, 9:58 pm

    Count me in!!!

    I even have proof that I spread the word about Flowing Data …

    I was speaking your praises even before you bribed us ;)

  • Kobayashi

    I can’t count exactly how many readers/followers/friends I can refer to you like others are promising, but it’s sure I’ll spread the word about FlowingData ’cause it was on my “to do” (blog)list long since. It’s obvious I’ll do it in any case because “quality content” can’t be measured with a victory or a loss in a sort of contest like this, but I’d like to talk about you in a even more enthusiastic way! :)

  • Tim
    Nov 28, 2008, 10:41 am

    I’ll be sure to tell my boss about FlowingData.

  • ben s
    Nov 28, 2008, 12:21 pm

    i tell the folks that work for me all the day, i post links on my blog, email it, share stuff on google reader.. i’m a better fan than your mom :-)

  • Bonnie
    Nov 28, 2008, 6:56 pm

    I promise! (I’ll tell more than 3,500 subscribers about FlowingData in the next issue of my ezine.)
