It’s about time we had another contest, isn’t it, Skouts?
This one’s pretty easy. All you have to do is Follow & Like us on Twitter & Facebook, upload your personalized Skout Fan Sign to Facebook, and BAM! You’re in. Oh, and by participating you could win a $15 iTunes Giftcard!

Just one thing, though — this contest is US Only, but we’ll definitely be incorporating overseas contests soon, so be sure to stay tuned for our weekly contests and announcements!

Okay. Enough with the fluff.
Here are the rules:

#1. Obviously be an 18+ Skout User. ;-D
#2. Follow us on Twitter! (@singles)
#3. Like us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/skout).
#4. Upload your entry onto our Facebook Wall of you with your Skout Fan Sign (keep it clean, please)!
#5. Comment on this entry to let us know that you’ve entered the contest! Be sure to use the email address associated with your Skout account so we will be able to find you and credit you. Also, leave us your twitter account name so we can confirm that you are following us.

Here are some examples of various ways that you might submit a fansign to us:

But don’t let these examples limit you — get creative!
If you want to bake a round cake and decorate it with the Skout logo, do it! If you want to write “I LOVE SKOUT” on a piece of paper and hold it up on camera, do it! Or even take a picture together with your significant other holding up a sign with our logo. The possibilities are endless!

In fact, we don’t think it’s fair to just choose one winner, so we’ll also be awarding 1,000 Skout Points to the users that really impress us.

Here at Skout, we absolutely adore creativity.
We’re constantly flying the “school colors”, pumped about the App and our Community, and we hope that you guys feel the same!

There are three ways to win in this contest:

1. The Grand Prize Winner will be selected by the Staff, will win a $15 iTunes Giftcard and 1,000 Skout Points.
2. The top 3 photos on our Facebook page that receive the most “likes” will also win 1,000 Skout points. So get your friends to vote for you and spread the word!
3. Users who impress us with their fansigns in general will also receive 1,000 Skout Points.

DEADLINE: You have ONE WEEK to get your fansigns in, so start posting those pictures on our Facebook Wall and following us on Twitter! And if you want to post more than one, feel free! We will stop accepting entries at 4:00PM PST on February 17, 2011. Don’t forget that you need to follow the rules exactly in order to qualify!

We’re excited to see what you guys have in store for us!
TEAM SKOUT FTW.

And as always? Happy flirting, Skouts.

Skout’s hit the One-Million Mark!

I’ve got even more exciting news on the Skout front, Flirts!
While you’re out there on the lookout for your next hook-up or date, over 200,000 new users have signed up to “join the hunt for love” in June alone.

Which means (and this is big news) we’ve hit the one-million mark!


VentureBeat
(http://venturebeat.com/2010/07/02/one-million-sign-up-for-skout/) has a great article boasting the success of Skout, and we’d love for you to take a look.

User no. 1,000,000 is David Gerber, a 25-year old investment banker from New York, who goes by the handle “StockyBroker.” Gerber said he was lured in by his friends, who were already using Skout, and seems to be finding it worthwhile. “There is no downside to anything that makes meeting women easier during the summer when so many people are leaving the city every single weekend,” Gerber said.
