If you’re thinking about paying to increase your number of Twitter followers, you may have to increase your offer after Ellen DeGeneres announced she would randomly reward one follower with $1000.
The offer came as part of winning ‘Choice Twit’ in the Teen Choice Awards, and was not only hinted at on Twitter, but was also broadcast on air and confirmed on her blog.
Only one thing springs to mind in the rush to add @TheEllenShow and joining the 2,784,700 potential winners – was it a conscious decision to avoid using a hashtag and going for a trending topic to attract new followers?
