Pimp me out on Twitter, Win an iTunes Gift Card

Pimp me out on Twitter, Win an iTunes Gift Card

Tagged Pointless Posts, Promotions by Brent on November 19th, 2007

I’m in the mood to meet more friends on Twitter. So, I decided to make it a little more fun. Here’s how it works: Everyone who adds me or promotes my page somehow via Twitter today (November 19th, 2007 *see update below, we’re doing it again today - the 20th) will get dropped in to a random drawing for a $25 iTunes Gift Card. I’m more curious than anything as to how fast information can travel through Twitter and what-not. Call it a social media experiment or something. I have no idea what will happen, but… BRING IT ON! (haha)

Here’s a tip: Want to meet new Twitter friends too? “track iboughtamac” and see what I see today.

Another tip: Use TwitterSearch to find the tweets if you can’t use “track”

*Update: I pulled Justine’s tweet out of the hat this morning so she won. Let’s do it all again today!

On a side note; When do you think the iBAM t-shirts will be in stock? I am actually buying my first mac in December (24" iMac) and wanted to order a shirt along with it and just noticed they were out of stock.

I totally need to reorder. PodCamp AZ cleaned me completely out. Maybe I'll do another discounted pre-sale thing for Christmas.

Thoughts?

You can count me in on a discounted pre-sale. I've got no problem with pre-ordering one.

I seriously did pull her name! You gotta believe me!

Here's what I did:

I left my iPhone on all day and tracked "iboughtamac" so I got everyone's tweets. Then this morning I flicked at the list for about 5 minutes (up and down the entire length) then I gave it one final flick and stopped it with a poke. Dead center of my screen and under my finger was Justine's tweet.

Immediately I thought to myself... "Man, everyone's gonna think I rigged this" But then I thought: "Justine should be able to win stuff just like any of us." So I let it stand just as it happened. I know it's not a big deal, I just don't want people thinking I play favorites. It honestly came up just as I described.

I had a lot of fun meeting people yesterday so take that and add in the (unnecessary) guilt I feel for people thinking I rigged the contest and you have my reasons for doing it again today. It's all in good fun, but I do want you guys to feel that I have been fair.

So there... that's my take.

Brent

I think you have to friend me to even know if I'm pimping you, don't you? I have sent you messages through Twitter and never got a reply back. So friend me! :)

Justine really is the internet. She is just everywhere.

Is it only messages that tell people to visit or friend you or any message with iboughtamac in it?
