Thanks Lance,

Another timely update – I have referred to both of your posts on a couple of sites – hope that trackback work for you.

I think Orcon and 2Degrees could do a whole lot better but as always this time next week will see a whole raft of new changes and improvements as it should.

Great post.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the jump in VF followers is simply due to the fact that people love to watch a train crash.

I think with a bit of sense this whole thing could have been avoided, I mean, VF wouldn’t hand over their entire homepage to the 3gguy campaign, that campaign has it’s own microsite, so why hand over their entire twitter account?

Would have made more sense to have Paul mention the competition and drive traffic that way.

i wonder if it had been anyone other than paul running the vodafone twitter, would we have even been following, paul’s wit kept me following.

and i’m still there as 3 g guy is almost gone, he seems to give the prizes out even when he’s not at the clue location, so it all sounds a bit sad

So the storm has left the tea cup and ‘outraged of Ponsonby’ via the twitterverse can rest easy. @3Gguy has left the tardis and @vodafonenz is back in the seat.

Wow that was worth it.

There are no rules, but there are relationships. We get an idea of what to do by what’s best for the person we have a relationship with – even if that’s a very peripheral relationship.

Glen, that was spot on about retweets being for the good of your followers, not just for you. And I don’t know about you, but I’ll refrain from retweeting something, even if it’s good, if it says “please RT”
