Cheers for the comp.The cynic in me asks what is the purpose of the site.High value prizes & no obvious sponsors.I appreciate the PR staff replied here but I'm going to drive by.Thanks for the effort

I think they are just building a Twitter following?!? Everyone who enters has to follow them as well as whoever setup the comp.

I like it, a nice little system.

I see what you mean but why do they want a Twitter following if all they do is give prizes away?Most comps on here are given out to promote an event or product.This just seems a bit like the win a prize type sites that have been posted on here before.

Weeowens, it does say that the prize is from http://twitter.com/recombu - they hold regular competitions on twitter. hth x

Cheers jaibaby

It just looked so much like one of those prize giveaway sites that I was a bit put off plus I'm a twitterphoobe.

I get around that by having a comping twitter, that way it cant interfere with my actual twitter.

once the comp tweet has been posted you can revoke competwition's access by clicking on your screename at the top of your Twitter homepage, going to settings and then clicking the applications tab. Although this might get a bit laborious if you plan on keep on entering competwition hosted comps! If it helps I've never revoked access since the first comp I entered with them and they haven't randomly posted anything on my account other than the initial comp tweets.

As jaibaby said I understand competwition to simply be the platform companies are using to host twitter promotions for them, same as wildfireapp. Competwition isn't offering the prizes, it's the companies using it, in this case recombu.
