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?

I am following TIM from now !!
Sounds like twitter for a good cause, for a change. I am not a big fan of twitter but good that it has such uses as well.
This “Tweet to Beat” seems like a great idea indeed, Shanker!
Sounds like a little fortune coming thru Twitter. Nothing to lose if I join.
I don’t how he will manage to pay US$ 3 to all these followers.
doesn’t matter to us even if he is going to donate all $3.
That’s impressive that an anonymous donor will donate $2 per follower.
Not many people would do something like that without wanting at least the kudos for doing it.
Sounds a fair way to follow him. I wonder who may be the 2 dlls donor? I will follow him seems a fair and easy deal.

Sounds like a great way to raise money for charity. I think i will try and convince my clients to do something the same on a local level.
