No idea about how TW comps work

Hi all,

Not sure whether I've missed a couple of Twitter wins through a complete lack of knowledge about it and apologies if I sound daft or this has been covered elsewhere.

I only opened an account for comping and expected people to message me if I'd won but I've had 3 emails telling me that someone has favourited my tweet and it had my email and three or four others. One of them was from a magazine about FF and I have no idea whether I had actually won?

I've stopped doing them because of a lack of understanding. Did I miss a couple of wins? Thanks in advance and sorry if it's a daft question.
Wishing everyone the best of luck. :)

    If somebody favourites your tweet it's just a way of them acknowledging it hun, they will either tweet you or direct message you if you win so your email would say @xxx has mentioned you
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
