The Giddy Gander Company and 211me announced the availability of iSeedSpit! to iPhone and iPod Touch users launching the first ever, virtual Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest. A world wide competition, individual participant’s scores can be easily posted directly to each player’s Facebook page directly from their iPhone or iPod touch, whereby others can view and compete. Users will never know what celebrity; sports figure, or musical legend will be iSeedSpitting against you!
How does one actually iSeedSpit? Simply, blow into the microphone of your iPhone or iPod Touch. A watermelon seed will then launch across your screen, bounce, land, and finally record your score on the screen, which can then be posted to your Facebook page directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch. Nothing could be more fun or easy!
The Giddy Gander Company will be donating 3 cents for every download of iSeedSpit! to Tuesdays Children during the first four months following this app’s launch. Tuesdays Children is a non-profit organization made up of child victims of 911. These same kids (now older) are currently dispersed across the globe teaching and assisting other children on how to deal with the effects of terrorism in our own homeland and abroad.
A visit to the company’s web site to learn more about their donation did make me wonder if they were a secret front for the watermelon farmers of america, since the whole thing is all about watermelons and little characters that live in them.
The company has timed the launch to coincide with a live watermelon seed spitting event, Six Flags Great Adventure Live Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest being hosted in Jackson, NJ, by The Giddy Gander Company and The National Watermelon Association of the United States on July 4th.
iSeedSpit is available as free download from the iTunes App store.
