I knew they were just emailing this en masse because in the email it said "i think the videos you've posted are great" but ummmm, i've never posted any videos or vlogged before. hmmmm....

Oh man, if there's a 2/year quota, I've already used one of my Matchstick promotions helping them out with their O.B. Tampons campaign!!!! Should have waited for chocolate instead? :) So in the end, you ended up participating in the 3rd promotional campaign even though you went over the 2/year limit?

On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 3:33 AM, Author : Tim Kuesker (IP: 69.196.135.161 , 69-196-135-161.dsl.teksavvy.com) Thanks for the note Tim, Please feel free to browse the archives of my site and read about my past experiences with Matchstick and how I used each product sent my way. I did end up receiving product from them after this debacle and I gave it away at two seperate public events (with hundreds of other bloggers) because I did not feel it would be right to keep it. I never thought of creating an eBay account, mind you Craigslist would be easier don't you think? My concerns were with Matchstick's practices, their methods of spamming bloggers, and their obvious disorganization behind the scenes. Feel free to watch this video that also explains my position: http://www.viddler.com/explore/Miss604/videos/10/ Thank you for the concern, Rebecca Hi Tim,
