I posted my entry to "it's the time to TAB", but it isn't appearing in the Computers & IT-->Gadgets section; as it is mentioned, it should've appeared there, right?

It should appear when post are made visible.

I submitted the post on IndiVine - Gadgets section which I wrote for Samsung contest. Now when I try to submit it under the contest - it says I already have this post active and cannot submit again.

Can anyone help me submit this post to the contest and remove it from Indivine for now?

:(

Hadn't you submitted it to the contest before submitting it to Indivine?

Hi Mohammed,

No - that was the mistake I did. But I wrote about it to IndiBlogger team and now they have resolved my issue. 

Thanks IB and thank you for asking :)

Hey a small question for the Inditeam! I had the live streaming of the launch on my blog but it was not a post... It was in the sidebar, and it was working fine... Am I eligible for the second part or the live streaming was to be made only in a separate post?? Waiting for the reply. Thanks.

DS, I would suggest to buzz the IndiBlogger team by contacting them here or buzz them Twitter. They will respond you. They do respond fairly fast.

Hi, I'm just curious about the point mentioned below : "Only bloggers who promoted the live webcast of the Galaxy Tab 750's launch will be considered for the contest. " How is Indiblogger team gonna check if it was hosted on that site / blog or not. It can be that the person was using the image and not complete webcast in his / her blog ! Moreover, even I had a Blogger Page ( not a post ), and so it would not list in my recent posts ! Can someone answer that ?

That's what I'm wondering too. The main page of the contest says that Entries will be displayed at 9PM on 15th August, and right now it is 16th August 1:37 Pm and the entries are not displayed anywhere. Hope the webmaster wakes up.

Don't panic guys. The contest is not yet over! There could be any technical issue or may be they havent done reading all the posts etc. 

Let's wait for some time & keep the posts going. 

I too is patiently waiting to see some update on the contest

Hi,There is not techincal issue. The entries for the contest are currently hidden and so when you submit a entry, it would also be in hidden mode till the contest open to public viewing. :)

Sorry for all the confusion with this contest! We've already run a crawler to check which blogs embedded the widget - so you need not worry, it's sufficient! Anyways, for those who missed out on the launch,  we're giving them the option of embedding the recorded version of the same as a prerequisite for the contest (as soon as Samsung embeds the launch on youtube!)

Hi Renie, Can you claify if in this contest IndiVotes would be taken into consideration or not ?

I don't think it's a good idea to change your rules mid-way through the contest. It is unfair to allow those people who did not broadcast the live launch of the Samsung tab, to participate in the contest now.  What will be the criteria for selecting the final 20 Samsung Mobilers? In my opinion the only criteria should be the quality of their submission and the popularity of their blogs (traffic coming to the contestant's blog site). You better leave voting out of this because we all know how much bogus voting takes place in online contests like this.

Cheers!

Perfectly said by Navin !Now that most of the contests don't count IndiVotes, we can see not much votes being casted :)Indivotes is awesome feature of Indiblogger, but it should not be a part of contest :)PS : My personal opinion !

The guy who was supposed to come met with an accident mid way and so Samsung send few other guys, but they were sales guy and they forgot to bring the projector cable to connect the Tab :( Moreover, they bought old Samsung Tab ! :( Hard Luck :(

crawler-referral based tracking is largely ineffective... tut tut.   Waiting for the recorded version to be embedded.

One more question, do these widgets need to be embedded in a blog post to qualify or outside the blog?

Finally, Submitted my post!!! Also Renie Why rules changed midway?? And are the prizes really not on votes because the same thing was said during the Hp color contest but all the top voted entries won, it was mighty disappointing!!
