Twitter, Facebook and Blog Contest Discussion (Questions, Comments, etc)

I'm getting frustrated with Twitter. I was the 5th person to respond for barenaked ladies tickets today and they gave them to someone else. I twittered them back about it but they haven't responded yet. I guess I just have to take the attitude that it's a random contest but it is frustrating. I know I was #5 this morning.

macfsh, I checked on tweetdeck and it shows your tweet as number 7 or 8. It's hard because it shows a whole whack of them tweeted at the same minute and it doesn't show seconds. The twitter contests are frustrating!!

thanks tray. I had done a search on the #tag and it showed me 5th. I don't know anything about tweetdeck but I might have to check it out. I really thought I had that one.

I don't understand how twitter orders them it's especially hard for contests when they don't say the seconds it was posted at. On tweetdeck I think I searched posts with @TassimoCanada but I'm not sure.

I have been hoping to win one too, wasn't online today for them. Good luck!!

Aloha everyone =) Sorry for the delay I was celebrating in Hawaii that is the first contest I won from SC =) I use tweetdeck on my iPod but there is a way to download it to your desktop http://www.tweetdeck.com/desktop/ Try this I check this before checking everything else. With working all day I miss alot on twitter and I don't want to miss a win =) Good luck

I agree - Tweetdeck will definately make your life easier - and if you have more than one Twitter account, you can use it to watch them all at the same time.

Tweet Deck is a tool that you can download to your computer or phone. It makes Twitter use easier. You can follow multiple accounts or key words at once.

You can also see new tweets as they happen.

It is a free download. Here is the link: http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta/

Ive just added most everyone here hope ya'll don't mind. I started using Tweetdeck 2 days ago and life is much easier.
Feel free to add me @bobdawg23

Congrats everyone

here are some quotes about tweetdeck for those of you interested : )
