1,000th Twitter Follower Giveaway

POSTED IN: Blog Posts

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about Twitter around here but I happen to be coming up on a big Twitter milestone so it’s time for a little reminder (if you’re still confused about what exactly Twitter is, watch this first).

I’ve been a big fan of Twitter ever since I started (even though my wife so lovingly asked me exactly why my life was so interesting that people would want to read about it throughout the day). I’ve loved the new connections that have come through this social networking tool. I have no idea how long it will take for this cultural trend to run its course but in the meantime I’m enjoying it. Plus, it’s Biblical.

1,000th Follower Giveaway

So here I am sitting just a few followers shy of 1,000 Twitter people following me on Twitter. Crazy! So I thought we could celebrate by a prize package giveaway. I’ve got a $10 iTunes gift card for the 1,000th person to follow me on Twitter (a legitimate, personal Twitter account). Like I said, I’m really close so this will probably go quick.

Do you Twitter? If so, leave your name and Twitter link below so we know all the cool cats to follow.

Does it count if I quit following you then re-follow you? That’d be worth the hassle!

Well, you could quit following me and re-follow, but then I’d still be the same number away from 1,000 as I was when you were still following me. Not quite sure the math works on that one.

Cherith & Bonnie, you definitely win the award for the most dedicated Twitter followers. Unfortunately, there’s no prize for that title.

@DK – Yeah, I have a feeling there’s going to be a lot of people refreshing the page until they see 999 and then I’ll get like everyone following me at once.

I do Twitter. I’ve just recently started using it more frequently, still trying to figure out it’s usefulness… still waiting, but it’s fun. I’m amazed at the random people that want to follow me, people I have never met. But hey, more power to them I guess. Here’s my name: aaron_jackson. There you go. Enjoy.

Congrats on getting to 1000 followers Brad (when you get there)!

I’m racing my friend Tyler to 1000 followers and he’s got a 60 person lead on me right now (550-610).

so yeah, I won’t give y’all a gift card, but if you want to help me out in my race to 1000, follow me. (plus, I like adding new non-spam folks too, so I’ll follow you back)

Thanks Bryan! Just hit 1,000 a little over an hour ago. I expected party horns or someone to come rushing in my office with a cake but nothing. Kinda a let-down.

Seriously though, my bro Bryan is worth following guys. If you don’t follow him already, go hit him up at http://www.twitter.com/bryanallain.
