This is an interesting giveaway by Cult of Mac, people are getting warmed up to the idea of web storage (versus physical drives) and the demand for it will only increase with time.

Dropbox Pro here comes with 100GB of space and is valued at $9.99 per month. The way I understand it, the organizer is prepared to honour its lifetime offer up to 80 years, hence the prize of this giveaway will come to approximately $9600.

With Dropbox you can store, share, and access all of your digital content right from your computer or your smartphone/tablet/phablet whenever you need it.

There are multiple ways to enter this contest: submitting your email, sharing the contest on social networks and commenting. Giveaway ends on February 15, 2013.

If you have not heard of or have not been using Dropbox, kindly literally drop whatever non critical stuff you are doing right now and take a look at this innovative tool. It will help to organize your work, unclutter your desktop, increase your productivity and gives more convenience and leisure to your life. Well, I may have exaggerated a little, but the least it could do is to reduce your dependence on external storage and multiple USB sticks. That’s worth a few minutes of your time, no?

If you’re going to sign up for Dropbox, do spread some love by signing up through the link below. If you do, I will be rewarded by Dropbox with 500 MB of extra space for my account and you will still receive the same amount of space as a new user (2GB for free account).

How Maybank2u has served me?

Well, Maybank2u has been invaluable for me in the past few years. It has served me well in the following ways:

1. I pay my housing and car loans through Maybank2u. I also settle my credit card charges and bills online.
2. Maybank2u gives me more freedom in purchasing items online whether it is a movie ticket, mobile prepaid reload credit or others such as digital camera.
3. Whenever I need to send money urgently to my family and friends, Maybank2u would be a natural and convenient choice. I don’t have to go through the hassle of driving all the way to my nearest neighborhood bank.
4. I am also learning to use M2U planner, a financial planner with many great features.
5. In the near future, I would also like to start a fixed deposit funds and invest in stocks or gold, all through Maybank2u.

Thank you Maybank2u for the great service and also for organizing this Maybank2u Star Contest where first prize winner of the Maybank2u Facebook App contest will win RM5,000 cash while the 3 lucky bloggers who blogged about how Maybank2u has served them (like what I am doing right now) will win a unit of Asus Nexus 7 Tablet each.

I would like to dedicate the following video, “How to have a great year in 2013?” to Maybank2u for its great service and for organizing this contest. Hope you will be inspired and motivated by the video to go on and have a great year ahead.

And here’s some fun pictures.
