Tweet2Win.com - The Game in Which You Spam to Win

Another app to jump on to the Twitter wagon is called Tweet2Win (the more the merrier, right?). Tweet2Win is a Twitter based game in which you can win some rather cool cash prizes for merely tweeting on Twitter. But there is a slight catch, if you want to call it that, you can’t tweet about anything, you have to tweet about Tweet2Win and include the link within your tweet. This simple ad will get you automatically entered in a raffle to win $150 gift certificate from eBay, Amazon, Victoria’s Secret, iTunes or Overstock.com. If you don’t have time to come up with your own plug, you can copy and paste their ready made ads to your tweet. To increase your chances of winning, write a blog post about Tweet2Win. After two days in operation, over 300 people have signed up.

“Win Free Prizes For Tweeting (Status Update) on Twitter”

This is a gimmick that works. It operates on user generated spam, which we’ve all basically learned to filter out anyways, so no real harm done. It takes literally seconds to enter the contest and the prizes are worth your time.

Isn’t this just turning Twitter into a huge vehicle for spam? Will more people take the bait?
