StubHub Gift Certifcate Still in Play

Hey Plingers, there's still a StubHub Gift Certificate waiting to be claimed. At the moment, 32 of you have active profiles with tags that match one or more of the winning tags, but no one has plinged the person giving away the prize! Unclaimed prizes expire tomorrow, so don't miss this chance to snag some swag. Keep on plinging!

Midday Thursday: One Winner, More Prizes in Play

Congratulations to Organic8, who just won a $25 iTunes gift card with the tag "music." More prizes are in play this afternoon, including a StubHub gift certificate and an iPod Shuffle. Keep plinging for treasure...and tell your friends about iPling, the mobile social networking tool with a difference: we help you meet people nearby you don't know yet, but who share you interests.

Last Day of the Treasure Hunt. More Great Prizes!

Well, folks, it's Day 3 of the Treasure Hunt. A number of you have already taken home some nice prizes and there are more today. So keep on Plinging for Treasure!

Among today's prizes, a 1GB iPod Shuffle and gift cards to iTunes and StubHub. It's 11AM now and an iTunes gift card will be in play within a half hour, so tune up your iPling profiles with tags that describe you and might also be appropriate to someone with an iTunes card to give away. Start plinging people with matching tags. Pling the mystery prize giver and YOU WIN!

Good luck. We'll be providing updates throughout the day here on the blog.
