Just blog and win!We've been hard at work on this new beta for months.  And longer than that (over a year) we've been working on the original Windows-only app.  The problem is that we don't toot our own horn enough.

Nor have we countered some ads online head on.  But being both Canadian and reasonable people, we'll still take the highroad.  Is Qumana the "smartest" offline editor out there?  Who knows.  How do you define smart?  We were the first to have one-click Technorati tags.  That's smart.  We were the first to let you post to multiple blogs without closing a window.  Smart too.  We were the first to allow you to earn money, inserting ads into your posts using a free tool.  Now that rocks.  We're still the only one with a DropPad that let's you drag and drop content from not only your browser but pretty much any other application.  Oh and we've got a pretty spiffy blog manager too.  And did I mention that we're still free and we can help you earn money.

Oh and we're the first, and only, to have a contest to send you on vacation.  Yep, vacation.  Sun or snow.  Hot cocoa or mohitos.  You choose.  How?  Easy ... just blog.  With a free tool.  With a free tool that can also earn you money.  Rules?  You got them ...

To enter:
• download the new Qumana beta
• use Qumana for your next 20 posts (minimum entry amount, across any number of blogs, min 50 words to our discretion)
• show off the “powered by Qumana” footer on each post
• write a creative post about your blogging landscape
send us [info@Qumana.com] the URL for your post and any blogs you’ve written on

The post:

Using Qumana is qualifying criteria. The winner of the Ski or Surf Ultimate Vacation will be chosen based on a blog post to be written about your “blogging landscape”:

What tools are in your blogging landscape?

Tell us, as creatively as you can, what makes your blogging experience easier, and perhaps even more profitable. Whether its your digital camera, a set of plugins, or your browsing pattern, tell us what makes you a productive blogger and you could WIN

When you’re done, simply send us [info AT Qumana DOT com] your URLs (of your post and of the blogs that qualify you).

The prize:

The winning blogger will have the choice of a Ski or Surf Ultimate Vacation:

• 5 days in Whistler, BC, Canada including hotel and ski passes & rentals for 2.
• 7 days in Mazatlan, Mexico all inclusive for 2. Mexican destination may vary.

Both prizes have a maximum travel amount of $600 to the destination specified, unless a flight & stay package is obtained for less than $3000 CAD. Equivalent travel options are available.

So ... save your money ... Rocket over and download the new beta.  Come on ... Scoble even tried it and he said it looked nice.
