Twitter Experiment

Hey guys!

Thanks for the comments on the malaria post. (I'm still itching! Where's my hydrocortisone? Where's my mefloquine???)

So today I had this random idea. I have 2900 Twitter followers and would love to break the 3K mark. I used to search out random Twitter people to follow in hopes that they would followme, but I simply don't have time.

So I'm offering some swag to get more followers. I wonder if it will work. So please RT the following, and you'll be entered into the contest! Later on, I'll tell you if it's an effective technique to get more followers. :D

WIN CONTROL bookmarks+stickers+magnets! New followers and RTers are entered & I'll pick FIVE winners. Ends when @lydiaykang hits 3K followers!

So. Have you ever experimented with Twitter or social media like this? Do you actively try to get more Twitter followers, or just let it be?
