3. Kareem Tyson – St. Paul, Minn. (www.myspace.com/hyundai_mash_seek_team4)
4. Paul Stanosheck – Odell, Neb. (www.myspace.com/mashandseekteamfour)

“I really enjoyed this game, and preferred it to the general drawings and sweepstakes that most companies offer,” said Paul Stanosheck. “It is rare to find a game or competition that uses your brain and plays upon the use of innovation and technology.”

“It’s crazy to think that we found each other so quickly!” said Kareem Tyson. “I posted on a blog that wrote an article about the competition back in March in hopes of someone finding me…and two of my team members responded within hours [of the beginning of the competition].”

“I posted a Craig’s List ad for New York, D.C. and other major cities across the United States, bought a Google ad and set up a website (www.mashandseekteam4.com)…I tried every online outlet imaginable,” said Young Woo.

“I don’t know if something like this could have been possible a decade ago,” said Shane Dixon. “It’s amazing to think that technology makes this all possible.”

“The speed at which the contestants were able to find one-another is a true testament to the power of the Internet and how connected we all are,” said Kathy Faith, national manager of Experiential Marketing, Hyundai Motor America. “We are thrilled to award the four winners for their quick ‘smart thinking’ and use of technology.”
