#moonfruit & Twitter Promotion

You must have seen #moonfruit in the Twitter trending topics on July 1st, and wondered what the heck it was. This all about Twitter Promotion. Moonfruit, a UK company, allows to create your own blog or website, and wants to make the buzz. Twitter with it's growing frequentation, accentuated with the recent events in Iran, or the death of Michael Jackson, also attracts business companies. Recently, Dell was declaring to make $3 Million from Twitter-Related sales (article from the NY Times here)

As a consequence Moonfruit has decided to get involved on Twitter. But how they got on the trending topics, which are the most tweeted words? It's pretty easy. They paid for it; not cash but Apple MacBook Pro. Check out on their website. A computer everyday, for ten days, to random people tweeting about #moonfruit. Pretty smart idea, or great way to attract the attention of everyone. To know more about moonfruit, you can follow them on Twitter, obviously. They are @moontweet.
