At IT Knowledge Exchange, we’re ambitious. We want to have the biggest and best IT Answers Community out there! Our plan is to provide everyone with the answers they need to be the best they can at their job.

That’s why we’ve created a new weekly contest called ‘Freebie Fridays.’ Every Friday we will be posting a freebie of the week in the Community Blog that you can win, simply by answering unanswered questions. The blog post will detail the rules for that Friday’s contest and highlight the 3 winners. You’ll see a link to the blog post on twitter as well as a link in the “What’s New” box on the homepage. 

So let’s get started…

Freebie Friday, July 16, 2010:
The first 3 ITKE members before 3:00 pm ET to answer 3 unanswered questions and to either re-tweet them with the tag #itkefreebiefriday and @ITKE or post the links to those 3 questions in the comment section of this blog post will receive a t-shirt or 50 knowledge points.

Clock starts now…4:00:00

What does “The first 3 ITKE members before 3:00 pm ET…” mean? In particular, does it mean “…beginning at midnight ET”? Does it mean someone on the east coast has a three hour head start over the west coast? (Are Europeans at an advantage? Is New Zealand too far ahead?)

Short time limits and ranges are tricky on the internet. I see a lot of indication that this is an international site.

Hi Tom,
Basically what it means is that the contest starts on Friday morning around 10am ET (or once the post goes live) and ends at 3pm ET. You are correct, this is an international site and unfortunately we can’t accomodate all time zones.

Our main goal here is just to get the members answering questions to help out fellow members.
