Reach Out and Touch Someone, Enter to Win an iPod Touch!

We know what you must be thinking, “Geez, that sure is a suggestive title to an article!” Well, of course it is. We’re suggesting you touch someone by commenting on an Article, Video, or Featured Profile on ValpoLife.com or PortageLife.com. Why? Because it is a good way to let them know their story touched you in some way. AND, because it could win you one of six 8GB iPod Touch devices we are partnering to give away!

Reach Out and Touch Someone on ValpoLife and PortageLife - starts now, and we’re teaming up with five tremendous community-focused businesses:

  • Group 7even in Valparaiso which is an awesome design and marketing communications company that partnered with us on the iPad Giveaway last summer;

  • Anytime Fitness, the newest 24-hour/7-day fitness center around that offers a wide array of services and amenities,
  • Cavanaugh Orthodontics, a Valparaiso-staple and big community supporter across a wide variety of organizations and causes; and
  • Northshore Health Centers, a company dedicated to providing quality health care to every family in Northwest Indiana, regardless of ability to pay.

We want to reward readers of our sites who comment on an article about how that article “touches” them in some way. Positive breeds positive in our crazy corner of the world and this is really a fun way to say thank you.

On January 1, we’ll select ValpoLife and PortageLife readers randomly who have commented on any ValpoLife or PortageLife article! Your comment must be logged between December 15th and December 31st in order to be eligible.

You can comment on both sites and double your chances of winning, or comment on many stories to increase your positive impact and odds of winning! Be sure to stay “in touch” across two great communities with a bunch of positive stories to come.

There are a ton of new, awesome features on this iPod Touch.

  • Facetime - Some things are just better explained face-to-face. Even when you’re miles apart. On the front of iPod touch is a built-in camera perfect for making FaceTime video calls.1 Your smile, your laugh, your gasps, your “sad panda” face, even what’s in front of you. Your friend sees it all, live and in full effect.
  • HD Video Recording - iPod touch features a second camera on the back, which lets you shoot amazing 720p HD video. And with its advanced backside illumination sensor, it captures beautiful footage even in low-light settings. All while the built-in microphone records conversations, music, or any audio at the same time.

  • Retina display - There are lots of reasons you won’t want to take your eyes off iPod touch. The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display, for one. It packs 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution iPod screen ever. To achieve this, Apple engineers developed pixels so small — a mere 78 micrometers across — that the human eye can’t distinguish individual pixels. Even though you can’t see them, you’ll definitely notice the difference they make. Text is remarkably sharp and graphics are incredibly vivid.
  • Airplay - Your music, photos, and video — a.k.a. all the great stuff on your iPod touch — can stream wirelessly to an HDTV and speakers. A feature called AirPlay makes it happen. It works with AirPlay-enabled speakers or Apple TV on a Wi-Fi network.2 Just tap the AirPlay icon on iPod touch and blast some tracks, crack up over photos, or have a YouTube-a-thon. Big time.
