Win a Free Ticket to Connect SF '08 on Twitter!
By Daniel Rothamel, Inman Community Manager, Monday, June 23, 2008.Bookmarking Sites
Just mentioning it will cause all kinds of conversation. At Inman News, we are all about conversation and participation. That is why you can follow @InmanNews and receive updates of the headlines and breaking news from around the industry. You can even send your feedback or input to me about all things Inman (Inman.com, headlines, articles, Connect). I welcome all replies and direct messages.
I have been personally trying to increase the reach of the Inman News Twitter account. Last week, I added hundreds of new folks to the list of Inman Twitter friends. I was also very appreciative of the fact that I received hundreds of new followers in return.
So, to reward all the fine folks who are following Inman News on Twitter, here is what we are going to do. . .
We are giving away one FREE ticket to Inman Real Estate Connect 2008 in San Francisco to one of our Twitter followers!
If you want a chance to win, here is what you have to do:
1) Sign up for Twitter (if you haven't already), and MAKE SURE you are following @InmanNews
2) Simply tweet "I want @InmanNews to send me to Real Estate Connect SF '08!" (Make sure it is an "@" reply, otherwise, I'll miss it, and it won't count)
3) I'll compile a list of all of the Inman News Twitter friends who post that tweet between NOW and Midnight, PST on Sunday, June 29th.
4) On Monday, June 30th, I will randomly draw the name of one of the Twitter friends who have entered.
5) The winning twit-wit will receive a FREE ticket to Inman Connect SF '08. The free ticket includes a pass to the pre-conference workshop of your choice, as well.
How easy is that? One tweet, that's all it takes, and you could find yourself rubbing elbows with the leaders of the real estate industry in San Francisco July 23rd-25th, 2008 at Inman Connect. The ticket will be on us, you just have to pay for your own lodging and travel arrangements.
If you have any questions about the contest, you can always send a direct message to @InmanNews, or you can just send me an "old-fashioned" email: daniel.rothamel [at] inman.com.
Email entries and direct messages won't count, so if you want a chance to win the free Inman Connect SF '08 ticket, you had better get to tweetin'! Tell all of YOUR twitter friends, too!
Oh, one last thing-- there will only be one entry per Twitter friend. I'm not going to stop you from tweeting the message as much as you want, but it will only count once. :-)

Well that's very cool! My Twit is in.
If I win, can I re-gift it? Or are ya gonna have some "not transferable" clause in there?
How about exchanging it for first-class air fare? ;)
I think I can speak for Michelle and say we'd prefer if the window for submitting the Tweet would close NOW.

Michelle and Jay,
Thanks!
And hey, if you've got someone you would give the ticket to, why not just get them on Twitter? :-)

Anyone I'd give it to is likely already on Twitter. But if I win, they will be for sure!
This was a *brilliant* idea Daniel.. You're like a super community manager kinda guy!

Hi Daniel!
Awesome idea Daniel.

I don't have much luck with luck based contests, but hey, that doesn't mean I can't win, it would simply be the first time. So maybe like Jay says, closing the window would help me "luck out".

Not that it was luck based (at all) but SOMEONE up above me did win an iPhone in a contest....

Great Post and contest! Looking forward to results. I will more than likely pass on to one of my agents if we win.
