We’re proud to announce that the PunchTab-powered Green Day Numero Uno Fan Contest has been announced as a 5th Annual Shorty Industry Award Finalist.

Green Day’s “Numero Uno Fan” contest generated more than 165,000,000 social impressions and 179,000 social actions by rewarding fans for engaging in all kinda of ways. Fans were encouraged to complete various social actions. Each action earned fans points to move up a leader board and toward the grand prize: tickets to the Green Day concert at Irving Plaza in NYC presented by Nokia Music and AT&T.

And the results were pretty darn impressive.

We’re so excited we decided to host a giveaway.

Enter below and make sure to share the Shorty Nomination with your social networks!

You may have seen the post on Billboard about how Green Day and Nokia teamed up with PunchTab to launch their last big campaign. They needed to drive engagement, traffic and awareness… And the results were pretty compelling.

We thought we’d pass along the results… And maybe get you thinking. How can PunchTab super power your next campaign? Get the full Green day case study, here!

In case you missed this morning’s TechCrunch piece, PunchTab has some news!

The new PunchTab iPhone application is now available for free download in the app store.

We’re now powering more than 1,000 giveaways every month, many of which were previously available only on Facebook. But you spoke, and we listened. And based on demand from our publishers and end-users, you wanted us to extend the ability to enter PunchTab powered giveaways to your mobile devices.

Done and done. Brands on the PunchTab platform now have more visibility among consumers by making their giveaways available to iPhone users through this new app. And for you end-users, it just got easier to find and enter giveaways.

Enjoy!

Yes, that column on the side of your blog is great for streaming your twitter feed or archiving past posts, but why not spice it up by adding a PunchTab Giveaway… because NOW, our Giveaway Widget is available for your sidebar.

This new version of the Giveaway Widget gives you the same functionality as it’s bigger counterpart, but instead of letting it sit in a blog post that might get pushed down your page, you can now share a winning opportunity with your readers and fans right along side your awesome content.

And don’t worry, you don’t need to be a coding genius to make it happen. Like everything at PunchTab, we’ve simplified. We’ve got the tips and tricks for all this stuff right in our knowledge base, but since you’re here, we’ll share the answers to the test.

How can I make the giveaway widget smaller?

All you need to do is add the parameter ?width=auto at the end of your giveaway snippet, as following:

<script src="//www.punchtab.com/mast/XXX/giveaway_widget.js?width=auto"></script>

Your giveaway will then take the width of the container (minimum: 250px, maximum: 400px).

Here is an example:

<div id="my_sidebar">
<script src="//www.punchtab.com/mast/XXX/giveaway_widget.js?width=auto"></script>
</div>

The giveaway widget will fit the width of the #my_sidebar div.

Head over to PunchTab and get started with your next giveaway!

It seems like everyday we’re hearing about a hot new startup. ESPECIALLY here in Silicon Valley. But it’s not everyday that we come across one we think is this cool. (AND they’re using PunchTab!)

Meet FyingFlips.

The concept: Artists and designers create and submit incredible designs, the FlyingFlips community votes on which designs they like best, the top-voted designs are then printed as flip-flops and sold in the online FlipFlop shop at FlyingFlips.com.

To make things just that much better, a second set of FlipFlops from EVERY pair sold is given to a person in need AND the artist also gets a percentage of sales generated from their winning designs.

(Seriously cool, right?!)

So basically, this is a crowd-driven site: a community for art & design, a platform for social change, and an opportunity for artists to get paid for doing what they love doing… They’re creating artist-designed FlipFlops that are produced and sold with a commitment to giving back.

Ivo Staiano and Paul Mon-Kau founded Vancouver-based FlyingFlips in 2011 and they’re loving their adventure. (Which is clear when you read their blog and website!)

Recently, FlyingFlips launched the FlyingFlips FlipFlop store and they chose PunchTab to run their giveaway, driving awareness and social sharing. (We’re proud to be their platform of choice.)

They told us that choosing Punctab to host their contest was a natural choice. (Warm fuzzies!)

“We love your platform, ease of use and analytic functionalities; we also appreciate the incredible support that you have given, and continue to give, us. Regarding integration, I don’t think you could have made the ux any easier, or to be frank, fool proof. Great work.” Kamil from FlyingFlips told us. (Thanks Kamil!)

So go check them out. Buy some flips and enter to win! We’ll get back to you with their results.
