7/5 Milligan + Tagging Contest

When I was a freshman in college, this new website "thefacebook.com" was sweeping the campus....sort of.  By the time "thefacebook" arrived at Brown University in 2004, the only other schools to have access to "thefacebook" were: Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn, MIT, NYU, and Boston University.

Sounded like a hangout for elitists, right?  There was no way "thefacebook" would be more than that, right?  It wasn't like the future of the world would change because you could "poke" a girl who spends more time in front of a book than a mirror, right?

Well...boy was I wrong...

But...at the time....who could blame me for joining "thefacebook" with the expectation that it would soon rival the irrelevance of other social sites like Xanga or MySpace.  For this reason, I didn't want to get too into "thefacebook"....instead of uploading an image of me, I decided to upload my trademark "millerbear" logo that you still see on my facebook profile today!  And no...I don't regret having that bear represent me all these years...that's not my milligan.

My REAL milligan...regards de-tagging all my photos.  Just like how I didn't want a real picture of me on my profile... to be on some "ridiculous" elitist website...I surely didn't want to have my name attached to all my photos online, right?

Well...7 years later....I'm finally ready to admit that...one day, I'll want to archive all the pictures taken of me during my college years and beyond...and even let others see what I was like in those days...

Thus, I will be holding a week-long contest this week:

What: the "TAG MILLER ON FACEBOOK CONTEST"
Who: anyone who has a facebook account and knows what Miller looks like
When: Contest ends on Tuesday 7/12/11 at 5PM
How: Tag as many photos of Miller on facebook (only pictures that are definitely Miller will count...so don't try to pass off a picture of Ryan Handoko as me for credit...).  The person who tags the single most number of photos will be declared the winner!
Why: Because the winner will be given the oh-so-elusive MillStar Award on Wednesday 7/13/11 AND receive a $25 gift certificate to any restaurant.com restaurant (that sells $25 gift certificates) of his/her choice...

So, go ahead and undo all my de-tagging and help me redeem this Milligan!!!
