Free MacBook Air — if I become the number one user on Twitter

OK, I’m tired of getting my butt kicked by Robert Scoble and this Barack Obama guy on Twitter. Right now I’m the number five user (really #2 because the other three are software/Barack), so I’m going to buy my way to the top.

If (when?) I become the number one user on Twitter I will give my extra MacBook Air to one of the random folks who are following me. How we give it away will be determined in some fair way (i.e. random person obviously, but they have to be following at the time of the giveaway and they might have to respond to my tweet of them winning in a certain amount of time… like one hour).

Toro, a bulldog

Hello. My name is Jason.
