The Tony Hawk Twitter Hunt

Tony Hawk is doing it big time. Using his twitter to create real connections with his followers.
See this post from Boardistan:

Tony Hawk launched a all-out scavenger war this morning by announcing to his 200,000+ followers via Twitter than he had a couple complete skateboard decks to hand out.

“Whatup Twit-talkers! I have a couple of complete skateboards to give away today. Stay tuned . . . First one is for 760 locals: Palomar Oaks Way just south of Palomar Airport Rd. Look behind the fire hydrant just across the bridge. Go now

Within 50 minutes a girl named KT Alach of Carlsbad, California had hunted it down and Twittered a photo back up with the new deck in her hands.

T.Hawk is killing it with the instant Twitter marketing. Funny, that this is the first time we’ve seen Twitter used this way, and we have to admit, it’s really pretty genius use of the technology.
