Hey Slickdealers, we're giving everyone a chance to win a Slickdeals 10th Anniversary T-Shirt by <a href="http://twitter.com/slickdeals">following us on Twitter</a> and replying to our tweets. <strong>New to Twitter?

Correct, if you have a private twitter account your #xxxxxx will not appear in the public timeline, and Slickdeals will not be able to direct message you and notify that you are a winner.

Good luck everyone!

This is what stinks about Twitter contests. There's no way I can un-protect my tweets for all my co-workers to see. Maybe it's time to open a contest-entering-only account.

:confused: What do you mean protect them? I am new to twittering also.

We are having the winners DM us after they are chosen...so they can give us their user names from SD. I screwed up on the last round by DMing them before adding them on our "following" list....so I had to try contacting them through here. That won't happen again. :blush:

^ i think biddly means that some people set their tweets (status) on private, and the only way to participate in this contest is if they set their status to public, which they dont want to do.

VietPho
01-18-2010, 03:06 PM
I've never twittered before. I'm still sad for not winning any of those contests during black fridays. I'll pass on this contest :)

It would suck if SD decides to give a free t-shirt to ALL people participating though, but I"ll take my chances and not enter :)

The guide didn't answer why they're called "tweets" and not "twits". :lol:


Serious question, do we have to actively post on twitter? I don't really have that much to say and I'm sure no boby gives a rat's posterior what I do during the day.

u dont need to actively post. just follow the instructions on slickdeal's twitter page. for example, last night's instructions were to be the first 10 people to "tweet" i love slickdeals. if you were amongst the first 10, you win.

this afternoon was to be the first 10 to take a picture of you holding up a slickdeals sign.

They are made by Gildan and pretty true to size...I chose what I normally wear and it fits fine. Nice quality. Mine has been washed several times and looks & fits great.

:lol: Kind of cuts down on the competition, huh? Was that you?



Yes, that's me. I was sure that there would be more people playing so I did that final one yesterday just to compete with anyone else. Oh well, I had fun. My kids enjoyed the trip to Target, they each got an icee. :)
Thanks!

There were 5 actually. One was done correctly but for some reason twitter didn't post it in the thread. We did see it though. I am watching for other entries in contests to see if twitter isn't putting them in the correct spot.
And yes, they did have the #slickdealscontest in their tweet.

Simple math.

Tons by weight.

Two tons = 4,000 pounds of shirts.

Each shirt weighs about 8 pounds each (at least that is what I say when getting weighed) = 500 shirts.

Give away about 20 shirts a day and it takes 25 days and Bob's your uncle. :nod:

:D

I hope that everyone is remembering to add #slickdealscontest to their tweets. Otherwise we don't get to see them.
