I just clicked follow, because I'm actually interested in getting these updates. =D

To everyone here for the iPod: You're welcome.

You should make it a random person in the first 1000, because now everyone is waiting to follow until the count gets to 900's!

"What are you waiting for!?"

What do you think? For the Twitter account to reach anywhere near 1000 followers. Lol.

Yes this is silly. Right now there are only 321 followers. Obviously I'm not going to follow right now. If you were not able to view how many followers there were already, it would be more fair/make sense. Since its so obvious, that creates an issue.

Still 6 people joined since I checked, so hey, must be working.

Great!! Another contest HACKERS can win. Other smart tweeters have acknowledged the fact hackers can get the right # for following. Tony Hawk even said on one of his contests. So may the best hacker win
PappaDukes's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/12/2010 16:45
PappaDukes
@Sick Pigeon - I'm pretty sure that "hack" only affects your own twitter page, and it's really more of an exploit than a hack. Not sure how a hacker could affect the number of followers for someone elses twitter account.

I wish it was the 1000th retweet.

People are just going to wait until 950ish, then unfollow and refollow.

crap! U.S. Only??
Here I've been refreshing that page and waiting for the follower count to get higher before adding (so I would be closer to 1000).
You should have said it was a random number rather than number 1000... because I suspect a lot of people are just waiting it out and not wanting to be a follower while the follower count is so low.
... I guess I'll just have to put the IPod Touch on my Christmas list. :(
(and I guess I can quit refreshing that page now.)

I don't use twitter but have an account from a while back, so I followed, since I don't live in the US anyway. Gotta get that count up for the people that want it.
