I think that's really cool to have something specially segmented for International (outside US) posties. I will try my best to be in front of my PC to grab that special opps..with the currency conversion now that amount could really help for the coming festive season. :) Thanks PPP for considering us!

What a brilliant idea! That’s why I love PPP, always innovating!

amanda said...

Oh man as great as the 1K Tuesdays is the thought of the opps running through Thursday is exhausting... People are all on during those times which makes it virtually impossible to get any posts. And now that the 1k Tuesdays actually over I haven't even seen any posts at all through the rest of the week but, 2.

Hi,
That is a brilliant idea. Though I never get any such opp of $1k and $100 or $50, I appreciate what PPP is doing. I think there are lot of bloggers outside USA, especially here in Asia.

Living in Canada I don't have the disadvantages that most of the other posties had. It's great you are doing what you can on your part.

WOW this is a great news to us. But I dont have issues for opps that only for US posties though. But this news is sure craking. Thanks PPP, I will make sure to be up for this hehehehe.

techie said...

I can't believe you would go and discriminate against US posties like this. Unbelievable.

wow! thank you so much PPP! will surely watch out for this! =) this is what sets you apart from other GPT-blog sites -- you care for your members, even though those outside the USA. again, thank you so much!

I think it's great.

Will definitely wait up and get ready that pot of extra strong black coffee.

Personally I do not have a problem with segmentation. Whatever makes the advertiser happy, right? :-)

As for the special 'Wed' deal, I can't say I'm not touched by PPP's kind consideration for folks outside US. Just want to say Thank YOU!

Thank you all at PPP for being so considerate to those outside the US! Will be waiting eagerly for this =D

I'm considering moving to Canada. Thanks for keeping my future monetary interests in mind during the possible transition. :P

Seriously, excellent idea.

Silly question because it's really not likely to happen ... what if a non-us postie got a 1K Tuesday op. Would they still be eligible for a Worldwide Wednesday op too?

As I said, the way ops go so fast these days it's really not likely to happen, but I think that if there is a restriction it'd be nice to know about it ahead of time.

Thank you so much for giving us (no-US) this opportunity.

You guys at PPP are simply the best! Time to synchronize my clock with EDT.... ; >

that would be cool.. it gives non-US posties something to look forward. cheers ! keep it up !

Thanks a lot PPP. Show that you care about us non-US posties as well.

Tiffany said...

I thought It was not to start till noon. So how come one dropped at 10am.
"1K Tuesday will run as it did last week but from Wednesday at noon EDT to Thursday at noon EDT"

Mi said...

I never seem to catch these big fishes. Would it be a good idea if you set these special opps to appear at different times? Even if you run them through Thursday, they'd all be gone in like ... 2 seconds. :D

Aug 22, 2007 10:52:43 AM

tiffany said...

Wow, PPP is so generous to posties outside the US.
I Love this!

Mike A said...

Well, I logged in to PPP this morning, and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but $1K tuesdays ... er, international wednesdays... whatever.

There were a total of three $50 opps showing when I got here. They were already grey. I kept refreshing the page ever minute or so, and watched several more appear, already in grey. I finally saw one come up in white, so I clicked on it. But, alas, I didn't make it through the verification screen before someone else did.

Then the biggie hit! It was the $500 opp ... ooops. Already in grey.

This is a friggin' joke! It's almost like playing the lottery. I've been poised over the PPP opportunity page for almost 20 minutes now, and I can't get a break! I'm on a high speed DSL connection, and I can't even get one in time. I pity the poor bastard who is on a dial-up connection ... he doesn't stand a chance (it doesn't appear that I do either). Perhaps it is my proximity to the servers of PPP ...

In any event ... I'm going back to "settle for" my only other opp that matches my blog ... $7.00 for the day. Oh well, I guess it's time to go check in over at Blogsvertise or Smorty ...

Aug 22, 2007 11:19:50 AM

Mike A said...

Oh yeah, and Tiffany is right ... the opps started dropping at 11:00 am EST. Go figure.

Aug 22, 2007 11:48:42 AM

Anna said...

It's no fun to be excluded from opps for whatever reason. So, since non-US bloggers are excluded on a regular basis, it's good to see PPP cares about that and is willing to do a little something about it.

Yes, the 1k Tuesday or Worldwide Wednesday opps started dropping a little early, and they were dropping fast! The server really seems to slow down when those opps start dropping. It takes forever to reload the page. I saw so many gray ones, then a $50 one that wasn't grayed out - missed it! Saw the $500 one drop - missed it! And then I got lucky - snagged a $50 opp. OK, I'm excited.

Aug 22, 2007 12:28:20 PM

bluepaintred said...

way to go Anna! i saw the 500 in white, but didn't get through captcha in time, and i had eight fifty dollar ones, but the captcha screen caused my net to slooooooowwwww down for about 45 seconds.

but still , way to go everyone who got one!

Quite irritating to read "let's not go into the readership thingy", like saying: let's not talk about the people killed in Iraq but focus on the fact they do have democracy...

For those who love Las Vegas and lotteries, I suppose these 50 and 150$ opps are fun.

For a postie like me I would rather see opps when I log on once a day. It worked perfect like that before the segmentation.

Aug 22, 2007 11:02:57 PM

Tommy said...

Oh, the 1K tuesdays are on my Wednesday morning when I'm busy with my offline day job. I saw 2 $50 opp in grey.

Now, the worldwide wednesday which is supposed to be for worlwide posties falls on my THURSDAY mornings!

Great!

Aug 29, 2007 11:26:19 PM

mei said...

Wow! I saw the $50 opp but it is grey. Anyway, thank you for giving these opportunities. Maybe I will be lucky next round.

II agree with Techie, it is a bit bull that you discriminate against Americans this way.

The wednesday thingy if fun.

What is GMT equivalent of 12 Noon EDT?
