Cruz Reader tablet giveaway: Spot what’s missing

Econet Broadband Billboard

As you enter Harare’s CBD, a couple of massive billboards scream for your attention. They form a key part of Econet’s goliath advertising blitz. We spotted something missing from this particular ad, and thought of it as a great way to hold a competition.

Clue: It’s the first thing you’d expect to be there (On the billboard…)

Econet Broadband Billboard

The Winner will receive a Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet Reader R 101. You can read the article we posted about the tablet this morning. The process is as follows:

  1. Post your answer as a comment. The comment doesn’t need to be just the answer, you can say other thoughts as well.
  2. This competition runs until tomorrow (15 June) 1700hrs local time.
  3. We’ll get all the correct answers, put the names in a hat and do a draw here at the office. We’ll announce the winner as an update to this story soon after the draw. The winner will collect the tablet at our offices in Alex Park.
  4. This is open to anybody in Zimbabwe.

Update:

We’ve done the draw and the winner is the first comment (strange hey) by 1c0n1c. We will contact 1c0n1c through the email address he provided. If the tablet is not collected within a week, we’ll draw another name. Thank you all so much for participating.

      Seriously!!! Anyone can tell that FACEBOOK is missing from the list of tech companies on that billboard! I mean people use google, twitter, yahoo and youtube but to omit facebook is a serious crime on Econet’s part!!!

      1. Karrada

      The Econet website is missing, that’s a pretty big deal to me: Either http://www.econet.co.zw or http://www.econetbroadband.co.zw !

        the websites are ain’t reliable enough for them to want to advertise!!!

    5. Frances-ClareM

      theres no facebook on the billboard. (i aslo think they could have added/supported a local site i.e. classifieds or dipleague) 😉

    6. Butholezwe Mkwananzi

      Facebook not included. I mean that should be the most visible of all.

    7. Farai Chindiya

    13. Phineas Mukomberanwa

      Its been said over and over again, yes Its facebook logo thats missing – one would think it was deliberately ‘removed’ since logically, its supposed to be between the skype logo and the Eco chinyi logo.

    14. Hannibal

      its missing the “Facebook Logo”

    15. Kakomarara1

      ooops I got it its Facebook logo,

    17. libho

      The blue and white FACEBOOK logo, I wonder what they were thinking

    18. Mr Happy

      well it depends who you are….if you travel with sirens pushing people off the road it is missing one logo, or if you are everyone else it is missing a wave “hello” 

    19. facebook missing

      Its the Facebook logo. 

      Has anyone noticed how the Telecomms companies are digging up the whole of CBD pavements laying out their fibre cables but after their work is done they forget to properly put back the concrete slabs as they were before. Most of the times they just cover the trenches with cement but doing  shoddy work.Witness this along Nelson Mandela Ave starting from the Parkade area.You wonder where will be the City council to check on these guys!

        Thanks for that my brother, everytime I walk along ZB Towers it feels like I almost fell into the their “dodgy traps” every step of the pavement.

        We could have a story about that too….

    28. Fchikwature

    29. Chiko Mukwenha

      i’d have to say Facebook man. Not necessarily the FIRST thing i’d expect
      to see but it has got to be there given how popular it is with their
      target market.

    30. Raymond Swart

      It’s obviously Facebook and considering their spaming of eTxT really bad of them to miss this one on their proofing of the billboard. Hahaha even okes at Econet are just human.

    43. Hon Ngole

      They are advertising their Broadband and the http://www.econetbroadband.co.zw should be also on the advert to serve you more details. 

    44. Itai Zimwara

      Facebook of course, but they could add Nimbuzz, its way more familiar to the mobile internet community than Skype and Youtube.

      But why would I visit their website, it’s useless if not inaccessible..?

    45. Culture

      Facebook

    46. fishmonger

    50. L.S.M. Kabweza
