Follow @Warcraft on Twitter and win big

Blizzard has already selected a ton of winners, and the contest runs until December 11th, 2009, so you've still get plenty of time to win. Official rules are here.
It looks like Blizzard learned something from their last contest, since the prizes seem to be handed out immediately upon them choosing a winner. Of course, I suppose it's easier to get digital codes to people than t-shirts, but I also don't think it takes two months to mail a t-shirt. Either way, if you win this one, you get pretty much instant gratification. The best kind of gratification.

"Of course, I suppose it's easier to get digital codes to people than t-shirts"
Indeed. Hasn't stopped them from limiting it to the US and Canada, though. I see no sense in it - WoW.com runs Loot code competitions all the time, and they're open everyone, regardless of location, so what's stopping Blizzard from doing the same.

OK I have never twittered.
So I registered, it says I am following Warcraft, is that all I have to do?
Frank Dec 4th 2009 3:50PM
yep. easy as that.

Dammit...
Now I'm going to make a Twitter account even though I've avoided it like the plague. -_- Oh well, not like I'll use it for anything after this. :P But I can't miss a chance to win some stuff.

I feel your pain :S

Yes, they've been saying for the last few days that all you need to do is be following them.
Of course, your chances of winning are somewhere in the realm of 0.001% - 0.002%, depending on how many people are following @WOW at any given moment.
I'd love to see numbers from Twitter of how many new logins were created that just follow @WoW. Same thing happened with the loot competition over on wowtcgloot.com. The masses just zerg in, ruining everyone's chance of winning.

I personally HATE twitter!
Tori Dec 4th 2009 3:39PM
Same here, the whole thing seems incredibly pointless to me. -_- Ugh, I feel dirty having an account now...
Frank Dec 4th 2009 3:51PM
don't hate the game, hate the players. : P

Twitter is as useful as the people you follow. It's a wonderful source for off-beat news items, like WoW news and fan news for other projects (like Joss Whedon news, for me). A lot of people exclaim that Twitter is useless, and then you look at the list of who they follow and there's no one on it. -_-
It's CERTAINLY more useful than WoW though. Calling Twitter useless on a WoW site is pretty hilarious.

never used twitter before, don't really understand it. Let's see if I win something :D

Okay, I started to follow them, but the fact that I have to read the tweets - let's just hope I don't win and the prize goes to waste.

How about some more contests not on the social network fads? Maybe someplace like, gee I dunno, your main site?

Also, for twitter users/vanity pet fans, @warcraftpets is great to follow, too! They started doing loot card giveaways just recently; I won a Picnic Basket from them this morning! I also enjoy their tweets, usually fun surveys about mini pets and such :3

I refuse to participate until they rephrase "The prizing rolled over".
