Obama as Mini Me… strange, but funny!

This is going to be the fastest and simplest Twitter contest in the history of the universe.  One of today’s hot trends on Twitter is #kindness.  To celebrate today’s meme I’m going to do something kind - give $10 by PayPal to a random person who retweets this by 11:59 P.M. Central time tonight (January 25, 2009).  $10 will be paid to you by PayPal, so you must have an account with PayPal to win.  Enter now as there’s less than 3 hours left to qualify!

How to Enter:

1) Follow @plsretweet on Twitter.

2) Retweet this contest by Clicking This Link (note, you must click this link or blue/green icon)

BONUS:  When you retweet this contest your Twitter account will show at the bottom.  The more people that come to this contest, the more followers you could get!

Twitterfall is a cool Twitter trend site that allows you to view the latest ‘tweets’ of upcoming trends on Twitter.  Updates fall from the top of the page in near-realtime.

Unlike other sites, Twitterfall purely does trends (for now). Because of this, we can be efficient - Twitter is queried from the Twitterfall server, and results are pushed to your browser, rather than your browser doing the queries, or your computer polling our server repeatedly.
