Congratulations Treasure Hunt Winners!

Well, iPling's first Treasure Hunt is history and it was a lot of fun plinging for three days straight with Macworld attendees and other contestants. Players set up profiles with relevant tags and started plinging each other, creating a real critical mass of plingers in the Moscone Center area. We gave away several iPods, ranging from a 16GB Touch to some Shuffles, as well as a number of gift certificates to online retailers including the Apple Store, iTunes, Amazon, Fandango, and StubHub. Congratulations to all you prize winners! If you missed the excitement you can read more about the Treasure Hunt here.

We also gave away hundreds of special edition iPling t-shirts to iPhone owners at Macworld. Were you among the lucky elite who snagged one of these collector's items before we ran out on January 15?

There's a lot of competition out there, but iPling is the real-time, location-based mobile social expansion app for the iPhone with a difference. While most networks simply connect you to people you already know, iPling empowers you to connect to folks nearby you may not have met yet, but who share your interests and affinities--a tennis partner, a babysitter, a carpooler, a fellow Green Day fan. You name it! You'll be surprised by all the amazing people you pass by every day who could enrich your life. The Treasure Hunt introduced lots of new users to the fun and utility of iPling. Now just keep on plinging!
