So I get an e-mail from CNET offering to put me in a giveaway for a Kindle if I resubscribe to their newsletter. Now, although I have a Kindle, my curiosity was piqued and so I read the small print, which said the contest ended on January 31, 2011. The drawing for it would be held on or about February 1st.
Um...this was sent to me on February 3rd.
Needless to say, this does not encourage me to subscribe. Of course, the subscription link is in large letters, the promotion period explanation in *tiny* ones, encouraging someone who didn't read on to just click on the link. I'd call that a little underhanded.
Now, to be fair, perhaps they extended it and didn't update the fine print. It did say 'Last chance to win' in the subject heading. And they did send me one on January 27th (which I didn't see). But still, it makes me wonder.
