Kind of a cool concept. Let's see if I'm the lucky winnarrrr!

I guess the cool thing is that those are all basically HN readers. Would be a pretty solid HN user following.

This application wants to post tweets on your behalf? Umm, no.

Skywing5• 15 years ago

No, it will not post tweets on your behalf. It will automatically follow the three winners of the lottery, though. That is all.

"This application will be able to:

* Update your profile.

* Post Tweets on your behalf."

Haha, nice. I have a 1.6% chance of winning, at the moment...

I think they should give credit to Dave Winer for the idea.

Indeed. It's in the footer.

gr3663• 15 years ago

Ah thanks, it wasn't there when I first looked at it.

They do credit me, there's a link at the bottom of the page to the piece where I describe the idea. I should probably do one of my own (but I'm busy with other stuff).

Hi Dave. They do now, but didn't when I posted my original comment.

How many people are opting in thinking "if I lose I can just unfollow straight away"?

I slightly want to opt in just to see it unfold, but frankly I don't want to follow three extra people, and I don't want a bunch of people who don't know who I am following me, so I think I'd end up annoyed with the result either way. Nice idea, though.

I've joined in just out of interest, if I lose I'll follow the winners for at least a month. I never use twitter anyway, and to be honest, if I won the current 'jackpot' of 247 followers, I still wouldn't use twitter much :)

muppetman• 15 years ago

Are people this desperate to be followed? I don't get it.

Skywing5• 15 years ago

It's fun to witness the statistics, though. There have been over 1000 unique visitors over the past 2 hours, with an 11% conversion rate.
