The 3,000 Tweet/Follower Challenge
By Tim on Jul 28, 2008 in Articles
I’ve been tweeting about wine for a long time now but have not really set any goals for my participation.
That ends tonight.
From now until Labor Day (a “bank holiday” in the U.S. for UK readers), I will be striving to get to my goal of 3,000 tweets AND 3,000 followers. Since I only have a bit over 2,000, this will be somewhat of a challenge given the 34 days involved, but I will try to post enough to get to that goal. And not just be trivial about it.
But my goal of 3,000 followers is a ridiculous task unless there is something I don’t yet know or Gary takes a liking to me.
Whatever the case, I will try to reach both goals.
As I begin, my follower count is now 462… wish me luck on my quest. I’ll pull out every trick in the book but I will need a LOT of help to reach my goals.
So tell all your friends to follow me on Twitter. And watch me as I tweet 30 times a day

I’ll sponsor you 10 of my handmade exotic wood wine bottle stoppers. Give them away as you see fit
. Good Luck!

Can you accept, and offer, wines?
I think I can arrange a few unusual bottles if it might work, but not sure of US distribution.

Robert,
Not sure if sending wine around is a good idea or not. There are a few laws to deal with here even if there is quite a bit of illegal shipping going on.
Thanks for your offer.

One thing we should do is create a “#” tag for sharing wine notes through twitter. (if there isn’t one already).

funnily enough, there is one already I believe #wine (though few of us use it properly)
