Twitter has become a very cool forum for scavenger hunts and contests which can cause jealousy amongst the non-twitter population. Some twitter accounts have been created for the purpose of trying to give away things, some contests come from
celebrities and some come straight from a business itself. If you want to get down on the free grab bags then here is who you need to follow:
@contests – This is a pretty straight
forward twitter account that specializes in giveaways. Recently they have been focusing on everything iPad. So if you are interested in as many opportunities as possible to win the new Apple feminine hygiene product then they are a must follow.
@THE_REAL_SHAQ – Shaq was on of the first celebrities that made himself so accessible via twitter. He was never afraid to tell you exactly where he was and if you found him he always had a meal on the house or a pair of tickets to a Suns game. Since he has been traded I have not noticed if he has continued to be the generous big man he was in Phoenix but he is still good for a yo mama joke every once in awhile.
@TonyHawk – The most well known professional skateboarder has taken the twitter scavenger hunt to the next level. If you can catch him on a day where he decides to run a hunt you want to be vigilant as to whether or not he has sent someone to your town. He sets up packages of goodies ranging from t-shirts to electric guitars and hides them all over the country. Just find the box with the #THTH on the side and send a twitpic to Tony that easy and you get a box of free stuff. Follow him closely because he could run a scavenger hunt at anytime.
@JetBlue – Jet Blue is celebrating its 10th birthday this year and is hooking everyone of its loyal customers i the process. The one thing everyone can get in on is the fact that they are selling flights for as low as $29.99 one way. But if you are fortunate enough to follow them on twitter and live in a city they fly to they have been showing up and giving away free round trip flights to any of their locations with no black out dates. They usually go to three stops in the city and all you have to do is bring them a B-Day card or wear blue or something like that and they hand you a voucher. They have already been to New York and Boston but they it seems as if they are planning their next destination so keep your eyes peeled.
