Logitech wants you for a Google TV party
The first wave of Google TV devices is right around the corner. To kick it off, Logitech is running a contest called the "Host with the Most" that will put its Google TV-stuffed Revue set-top box in the hands of users ahead of its official launch so that they can show it off to people they know. For the three winners there are some pretty serious strings attached though, including dedicating 20 hours a week for 10 weeks to host 50 to 70 marketing parties for the device.
Having learned a thing or two from Microsoft's Windows 7 launch parties, Logitech is not actually sending out Revue boxes to the winners. Instead, Logitech is having them invite friends over to one of the company's lofts in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, where there will be Revue units installed.
To get chosen for the job, entrants have to tell Logitech why they should get it, as well as divulging the details of both their Facebook and Twitter pages. In fact, you have to be a Facebook user to enter.Logitech says it will announce its host selections on September 9, following a month of public voting of all applicants and another round for the finalists.
