Greetings All,

Any twitterers out there may have seen some twitter based competitions, @johnchow & @shoemoney are a couple that spring to mind.

It’s an interesting idea – basically to enter you need to follow them on twitter & send a tweet to all your followers that you’ve entered by following them & they can do the same.

I guess the aim is to gain 10′s of thousands of followers – but the question is why?

Is it vanity – a chance to say look how great I am because I have 20k followers on twitter?, or is it just stupid?

I’d like to hope that they have some grand plan to monetise all these followers. Maybe they plan to drive traffic to their own blogs ( http://www.johnchow.com & http://www.shoemoney.com respectively ).

So – whaddaya think? Vanity, Insanity or Genius?

TTFN

BFG
