A Tweet Worth $100

What is a tweet worth to you?  To Maggiano’s, it could be worth a $100 gift card.  The Italian restaurant ran a simple social media promotion entering anyone who tweeted “Follow @Maggianos by 5pm CST to be entered to win $100 in Maggiano’s gift certificate”.  Thanks to their promotion the restaurant has already become a Twitter trending topic.  It doesn’t take much to tweet a simple message, and with the chance to win free food, who wouldn’t participate?
