A few months ago a ran across a contest on a fellow blogger’s site and it was all managed through this thing called Rafflecopter.

Instead of trying to keep track of entries in 50 different places (Facebook, Twitter, blog replies, etc), Rafflecopter makes it easy by keeping all the entries from different networks in once place and helps you randomly select a winner. No more drawing names out of a hat or copying and pasting entries into a different service.

I was able to beta-test their service before they officially launched, and now they’re live for everyone!

If you have ever run a contest, sweepstakes or giveaway on your blog or if you ever plan on it in the future…you need Rafflecopter.

To help celebrate their official launch, they are giving away some cool prizes (iPads and Kindles)!
