We’ve selected our winner for this week! Everyone give a hand to @pavanco. Don’t fret, though! Come back next week for another awesome prize!

The past two weeks has seen a lot of changes around the blog. Through some subtle changes to bring more attention to the community behind the GauchoBlog, to new writers and a new editor (hey, that’s me!), it’s been a flurry of information overload for everyone.

In the midst of these changes, the GauchoBlog wants to give back to it’s growing community and will be hosting a weekly “Freeday Friday” on the blog.

That’s right! Every Friday from now until infinity and beyond we’ll be giving you, the readers, some pretty awesome giveaways just for reading and staying in touch!

This week we’re giving away a $25 Amazon Gift Card to one special reader!

For those of you who haven’t been to or have ever used Amazon before, the online store lets you buy anything from tools to groceries, electronics to clothes! Oh, and they have some pretty awesome books and magazines in stock. Here are a couple easy ways to save when shopping on Amazon (maybe using that free $25 gift card you’re going to win this week?):

• Books are more than often already on sale, but you can save even more money by buying used or paperback instead of hardcover!
• Did you know Amazon has a “Today’s Deals” tab up top? Make sure you check in daily for some really amazing deals!

What do I have to do to win?

1. Follow us on Twitter!
2. Tweet what you’re going to use it for (don’t forget to use the #freeday hashtag)! Here’s something to get you started!
3. Share the link to your Tweet in the comments!

(Don’t have Twitter? Leave a message in the comments with what sort of content you want to read about from the GauchoBlog!)

It’s really that easy! This contest closes on Saturday, April 3, 2010 11:59:59 PM EST!
