			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just announced the first winner on <a href="http://twitchance.com">Twitchance</a>: @benjaminluk gets the&nbsp;$500!</p>
<p>6S Marketing made a bold move supporting Twitchance by being the first sponsor. The concept was unproven and perhaps a bit controversial but they were curious and decided is was worth a try. I encourage you to <a href="http://twitter.com/6s_marketing">follow them</a> on&nbsp;Twitter.</p>
<p>The next draw is on April 20, this time sponsored by <a href="http://hover.com">Hover</a> who provided another $500 and 20 smaller&nbsp;prizes.</p>
<p>We decided to make a small concept change: instead of <a href="http://elbertf.com/index.php/2009/03/twitchance">randomly selecting a winner</a> the sponsor and I pick the most creative message on Twitter and award the author with the&nbsp;prize.</p>
<p>To join, simply follow the instructions on the <a href="http://twitchance.com">Twitchance</a>&nbsp;website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago I launched <a href="http://twitchance.com">Twitchance</a>, a free Twitter lottery. It&#8217;s a viral marketing experiment where I&#8217;m going to give away some cash ($500.- on the first&nbsp;draw).</p>
<p>The concept is simple; participants post a message from a sponsor on Twitter. After some time a winner is randomly selected and awarded the prize. The sponsor receives amplified outreach to the online&nbsp;world.</p>
<p>Many companies offer services for free on the internet, often powered by advertisements. I figured the same could be done with a lottery. Twitter has a huge user base and <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40twitchance">tracking specific messages</a> is easy, making it the perfect place for a project like&nbsp;this.</p>
<p>Anyone can join, all you need is a <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://paypal.com">Paypal</a>&nbsp;account.</p>
