We heard a little tweet about this rather popular thing called "Twitter" and decided that we wanted to get in on the action. Follow us on Twitter, and we'll follow you as well: http://twitter.com/BankrollMob

We'll do our best to "tweet" new bonuses and other interesting stuff, as fast as possible. And probably some every day stuff too. If we get enough followers, we might even decide to throw a few special promotions or MobPoints competitions only for our Twitter followers.

Actually, let's start out with 2 Mob Points awards:

1: 25 first followers get 50 MobPoints each
1: All followers who tweet @bankrollmob this weekend, gets 50 MobPoints each

1) Follow us on Twitter, www.twitter.com/BankrollMob (requires a free twitter account).

2) "Tweet" your Mob username and mention " @bankrollmob " (without the quotes) in your tweet during June 19+20+21 and you will be credited with 50 MobPoints within a day.

(By putting @bankrollmob in your tweet, that means that the user "bankrollmob" will be notified about your tweet.)


2: For every 100 followers, 1 will win 1,000 MobPoints

For every 100 followers, we will randomly select 1 and he/she will win 1,000 MobPoints.
(Of course not for an unlimited time, but we will see how it goes for now).

So, what is twitter? According to wikipedia:

Basically, Twitter is pretty much like Facebook Status updates. So it's quite simple.
