MacHeist

This was a landmark year for us. If MacHeist 1 was the initial experiment, and MacHeist 2 the polishing up of that experiment, this was the year we felt comfortable trying out some new crazy stuff. Some of that was pretty straightforward and standalone, like the Tweetblasts, high production mission videos or the iPhone app giveaway game on the Giving Tree. Then there were points. A grand experiment to inject some new life into the community that grew into something monstrous in your imaginations.

So, what were the point of the points? We awarded points for members who were involved in our event outside of the bundle. If you were a great member, you racked up a ton of points for your team.

Now, depending on how well your team did, you reap the rewards. You'll find 1-4 of the following freebies after clicking through the thank you page:

iClip: if you were on the losing team this is the only app you get. heh. (Thanks John!)
SimpleChord: 3rd place team members and higher
Flickery: 2nd place team members and higher
iFlicks 1st place team members



You can pick up your apps on the Thanks page.

As hardcore members who participated in the heists and helped avert disaster in the Mac community, we cannot thank you enough. You can be sure we'll be contacting you first when the next situation develops.

This officially ends MacHeist 3!
