Twitter Contest Winners
Posted on April 4th, 2008. 7 Comments so far. You next?
The Twitter contest is now over, but still feel free to follow me anyway. I was doing this as an experiment to see how something like this, like blatantly asking you to follow me, would work.
Overall, there we a few new followers, but not much. I still liked the ideas. Plus, this way I can fill my lonely ad space. I’ve been thinking about scrapping it for a while, and this will give me an excuse to keep it for at least another month.
The Winners
To tickle my brain, I wrote a script to put out two random numbers between 1 and 83 (amount of followers) that were different. From there I just counted down on the page that lists all those people to find the two winners.
Coincidentally, one winner had just entered this morning, and the other had already been following my Twitter updates when this mini contest began. Because I know you’ve already skipped past this part, I’ll get right to it.
The winners are Alex (@epicalex) and Malin (@infektia).
Alex was actually the last entry, I believe. The Twitter page I used in conjuction with my random numbers (17 and 15, in case you were wondering) doesn’t order by date, though.
Claim Your Prize
Just email the advertisment (125 by 125) to me (hit the contact page for my email), preferably from the email you’ve commented with before. I’ll give you a week or so before I start proding you for one. If you want to pass the prize on for some reason, I can always draw another number.
Real content starts again this weekend, hopefully. It’s be a busy two days, that’s for sure.

Ah man. At least I tried.
I’ve definitely been enjoying your blog, and I look forward to your Twitter updates as well.

Two 1 in 83 chances are pretty bad odds, eh? I was surprised the two numbers picked were so close together.

It was a nice contest. How many members did you gain from it?

It was definitely under 10, but over 5. Somewhere between there. It’s something that had been going up by one or two a day, and the growth has continued even after the contest. I think I’ve had 3 or 4 new followers today alone.
I think if you ran the contest longer you’d see better results.
