But the API that lets you list RTs has disabled pagination. Of course me being me, I didn't believe that at first. My friend Marc was quick to point out that it would be impossible to pick a random person from the RTs due to Twitter's API limits: How do you pick a random person from the people you RT? Luckily there was already lots of sites specializing in that: When it came down to actually picking a winner I started Googling. □ How I did a Twitter giveaway, got 10K+ new followers and discovered you can hack most giveaways to win them (includes the winner) /QO2OQWY6kb- January 11, 2020 (you have to follow because I want followers)- December 31, 2019Īs you probably expected to happen, I've never had a tweet take off so fast: I'm giving away a new □MacBook Pro 16" to a random person who retweets this tweet I'd rather spend $3000 on someone who can use it than wasting it on Twitter ads, so here we go Pressing the TWEET button on this I got nerves all over thinking this might go complete wrong, but let's try: So I wanted to try it and I wrote this tweet. Now doing a giveaway is somewhat of an artificial way of getting traction for a tweet. I'm not a big fan of ads, nor consuming ads: I have multiple levels of ad blockers like uBlock and HOSTS files blocking any ad and tracker, nor paying for ads: I have tried buying Facebook and Twitter ads and they never really compare to the conversion/clicks/sales I get from writing viral tweets/blogs. Half of my friends said it was sleazy and attracted the wrong audience, the other half of my friends said "just do it and see what happens", and then there was Cam who said it was "both sleazy and attracted the wrong audience and I should just do it" □ I'm not a big fan of ads I knew Gumroad had done giveaways before. (you have to be following us so we can DM you if you win)- Gumroad August 16, 2019 To celebrate breaking $6M sent to creators last month, we're going to give $6,000 to a random person who retweets this tweet! I had 69,800 followers and because I admittedly am an imperfect and superficial human addicted to vanity metrics, I wanted to get to 70,000 followers before midnight and it becoming 2020. This is the latest update to Discord, following last month's voice messages and increased file size limit.It was almost New Year's Eve and I wanted to do something special on Twitter. Here's Discord's blog post on the changes where you can find full details of what to expect. Users will be shown an in-app prompt when they can change their username, so keep an eye out for that in the upcoming months. The new usernames are being rolled out gradually, with users slowly being given access to the update. It does look a bit Twitter-esque, doesn't it? This example uses the username "PhiBi#8936". All users will be asked to choose a new username.ĭiscord shared a handy image of what the updated version of usernames will look like. When the changes are rolled out, display names will be your old username without the discriminator by default. They can also be changed without any rate limits. Display names will be the way you primarily appear and can contain any characters. Usernames can be changed but will be subjected to "relaxed" rate limits. Usernames will now need to be unique and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, full stops and underscores. Watch on YouTube Newscast: Can Microsoft's Activision Blizzard deal appeal succeed?
