The Ethical Bribe to Increase Twitter Followers

A little strange to believe at first but Tim Ferris has come up with this crazy idea to buy Twitter Follower at US$ 3 per follower. I mean he has this noble cause behind this and call this offer as “Tweet to beat”. Here is what he has to say:

This is “Tweet to Beat”, a follow-up experiment to LitLiberation, which was a campaign by bloggers and their readers, and CEOs and their employees, to spread the power of literacy worldwide. I’m in Vietnam with readers right now to visit two of the schools. With zero financing or hard costs, this model ended up raising more than $250,000 in less than a month, 3x more than Stephen Colbert during that same period.

He explains:

For every new Twitter follower in the next two weeks, I will donate $1 to DonorsChoose.org, and an anonymous supporter will match $2, for a total of $3 to U.S. public school classrooms per follower.

Not only this, Ferris is also doing a competition where you can win a MacBook Pro head over to this post here for more information.

I do follow him.  Do you?
