I think that 'contests' can be a bit bias. I know when I've had contests before I am more likely to make a bias decision. It is human nature.

Most giveaways I do revolve around making them DO something concrete over a contest entry or a 'follow'.

I had a formspring giveaway hosted on my blog about a year ago that revolved around people asking me formspring questions. Each question gained an entry. It got a lot of entries, people still had to do something, but it wasn't based on creativity yet they still had to think/put forth effort.

I think having followers enter a contest rather than just giving a random prize to a random follower is a better idea

I like gift certificates as prizes better!

Definitely make sure to use Rafflecopter. Non-biased, and it keeps track of entries so much better than doing it yourself.

It's good to say what the prize is, so whoever wins it actually wants it.

Depends on the prize. But winning something is always nice.

I like where there is a certain prize that people enter for.

I think it'd be cool to randomly gift points/gift cards to unsuspecting ppl.

I think Rafflecopter giveaways are much easier and choosing the winner is done for you.

While random stuff is fun, I like entering to win prizes. Most recently I won a KY Date Night bundle, two types of lube and a coupon for $10 off movie tickets.

Definitely entering for something specific, though a mystery could be fun

I don't care for contests. All the twitter feed and facebook posting is outrageous. Now everyone in the entire world knows I would bang Target if it were a person because I wanted their beauty bag.

I like the idea of questions one person posted.

I think doing a mix of both is a good idea.

Having people enter seems like a better idea.
