It amazes me how powerful Twitter can be. Especially when it comes to winning free stuff.
Feb 27th I won the @pancheros Friday trivia contest. I got a free burrito, Panchero's mousepad, and a nice note from Joel the Social Media Manager at Panchero's. Here's the video announcing me as the winner:

Then when
RightStuf lowered their regular prices,
they challenged their twitter followers to guess what they did.
I was the first to respond with the correct answer. Well they send they would send me a little something as a prize.
Today I got this email from the Marketing Assistant over there (kind of cool since I'm also a Marketing Assistant ^_^):
Hi, Eric!
I'm working on putting together a little "screener sampler" prize package for your speedy, correct guess regarding our new pricing, and I was wondering if the below titles sound good to you.
The Third: The Girl With the Blue Eye
ARIA The ANIMATION
Lost Universe
Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars
I'll be sending you the first volume of each of these tomorrow (March 20th), but I don't want you to get stuck with duplicates, so if you already have any of them, just let me know. I look forward to hearing from you!
All I can say is wow, holy crap! I think Twitter can be really powerful communication wise or at least for Marketing purposes. I loved RightStuf before, but this kind of stuff affirms my trust and loyalty as a customer.
