    Twitter is a bit like facebook in my eyes.
    I havent won a thing on twitter (entered thousands) and fb is very 'clicky' - the problem is multiple accounts its been reported on here many many times that people from probably all over the world have loads and loads of accounts, or if you look at winners circle (although they dont really announce the bigger comp) it is quite alot of the same people, i tend not to bother as much with either of these..

    But my tip for facebook is go to winners circle look at winners names then just go onto their facebook accounts and do all the comps the have done, (many of the comps you will see havent even been shared on here) but that can take a while, and tbh theres plenty of comps out there without having to ever touch fb.
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:

    Hi, I'm far from an expert on Twitter (and FB) but I think it's quite good for comps. They're usually quick and easy to enter. The competwition ones especially - you just click once and it does everything for you. I've won some nice prizes on Twitter.

    Some might know a better way but if you click on @connect at the top, and then on mentions just below it should tell you whenever you're mentioned, so you can check if you've won anything.

    There is a twitter thread here that people use to follow each other. TBH, I've not done this yet, because I haven't yet found why it would be helpful, but perhaps someone will explain?

    Good luck :cool:
