"A few weeks ago, we wrote about a promotion from website builder Squarespace, where the company offered up 30 iPhones in 30 days to be randomly awarded to users who included #squarespace with their tweets.  \nThe campaign worked in getting exposure - #squarespace was on top of trending topics for several days in a row \u2013 but we took issue with some of the messaging, as in reality, users were getting gift cards, not iPhones.  Commenters had mixed reactions \u2013 some questioned how we could complain about something free (and we did ourselves in the article!), while others agreed it was misleading.  \nIn any event, rival website builder Moonfruit has launched their own version of a hashtag-based campaign, and seems to have avoided the problems we saw with the Squarespace promotion.\n\n\n\nLike the Squarespace promo, Moonfruit is offering up free Apple products for tweeting their company name as a hashtag: #moonfruit.  Specifically, they\u2019re giving away 10 MacBook Pro computers in 10 days, as a celebration of the company\u2019s 10th anniversary.  Each day, a random user who includes the hashtag will win one, and Moonfruit makes a point to eliminate confusion and say \u201Cif you win we'll deliver your new baby to your door!\u201D  Winners are announced via the company's @moontweet account.\nNot surprisingly, this promotion is working.  #moonfruit is Twitter\u2019s top trending topic today, beating out the likes of Michael Jackson, #iranelection, and Wimbledon-related tweets.  The lesson is becoming pretty clear: free stuff works as well on Twitter (and perhaps even better thanks to Trending Topics) as on the rest of the Web.  \nSquarespace certainly deserves some credit for innovating with this type of campaign \u2013 Moonfruit even acknowledged this in an email to us, writing \u201CWe did learn something from the squarespace guys and we respect they did it successfully first, but we believe we've done it a little better.\u201D  And we agree \u2013 by actually delivering the product they\u2019re promoting, Moonfruit is running a completely transparent, highly viral campaign that will most likely be worth far more than the cost of 10 MacBooks when completed."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
