We just launched a really fun new game called Love It or Lose It. And you’re gonna have a great time with it!
It’s so easy to play. All you do is look at a picture of a member reviewing a product, and guess whether they love the product they’re reviewing or they want to lose it. You get 20 guesses per game and the top score each week will win a $50 Amazon gift card!
A little backstory…
How did this game come about? One of our web developers, Kip (username: kdemane), came up with the idea for the game awhile back and built it in his spare time. He sent a link to the game around to the company and we were all instantly addicted. It became known around the office as “Kip’s Game” and was one of the centerpieces of our company holiday party last winter, with a prize going to the winner with the highest percentage of correct guesses.
We realized this would be a fun game for the whole community, so VOILA - Love It or Lose It!
So that you can get to know the man behind the game (and his various hairstyles), take a look at Kip’s review of White Castle:

As well as his review of industrial-strength hand cleaner Gojo:

So a big thank you to Kip from everyone at Expo for seeing this game through from beginning to end!

Longtime Expo member antho has been racking up the pennies in Pay-Per-Play earnings over the last couple of years. And she’s made so much that she has decided to start donating her Pay-Per-Play for the rest of this year to charity!
On her own blog, antho says:
I was on my expotv.com user page earlier this afternoon and noticed that I have made $739 in the past couple years in Pay-Per-Play videos. Talk about the power of pennies!! So I committed to give the rest of my pay-per-play for the year to Speed the Light.
To read antho’s full blog post, click here.
Check out antho’s most viewed video review of her Canon PowerShot Pro digital camera:

And then see her most recent video review about her 8GB iPod Touch!

We think it’s fantastic that antho has pledged to give back to her community by donating earnings from her Expo video reviews. Great work!
