Logitech wants you for a Google TV party
Summary
Topics
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.

They probably should have sent them out....
Are all these peoples friends supposed to come up to those 3 cities for the party? Or will they just host the thing with unknown people? And hows it that they took this idea off of MS? I thought Apple folk were known for having launch parties....don't think they are sponsored by Apple though.

RE: Logitech wants you for a Google TV party
I use Google TV and I love it. I think that there is nothing better than being able to access your internet from your TV. As I am sure most will remember that not long ago people were so excited about being able to watch TV on there computers and most were against that as well. Being an employee of DISH I think that knowing the functions and possibilities of Google TV will really make your experience a better one. It has been a neat addition to my entertainment center! I wouldn?t go back!
