I think tweets are part of the voting. When Rose made his move a lot of tweets were going around.

I've still never Tweeted. Not saying that I never will, I'm sure I will, but just haven't had to yet. So in Tweeting, is it just like going online and voting from each browser you use, so you could likewise tweet from every browser you had on your cell?

Probably. My guess is they are looking at how much the URL is being shared on Twitter.



Love me some Twitter.

Geez, that's a messed up Leader Board presentation. After voting this morning it shows:



Dave Rose

BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY

140 % 1.64

CURRENT STANDING

1 OF 4



Steve Prohm

IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY

130 % 1.48

CURRENT STANDING

2 OF 4



Matt Painter

PURDUE UNIVERSITY

108 % 1.41

CURRENT STANDING

3 OF 4



Archie Miller

INDIANA UNIVERSITY

94 % 1.2

CURRENT STANDING

4 OF 4



None of those numbers add up to 100%, but possibly the 140, 130, 108 & 94 are the number of votes at a given time. When that given time is, it's hard to say, but probably not a current tabulation of votes. That would make some sense then in how the results are displayed. Just guessing.

OK, finally sent my first Tweet #Timeout2Vote #CoachDaveRose. Here I had a Twitter account and I didn't even know it.

3 votes per day on twitter or instagram. Retweets count. That is how to get a lot of votes quickly.

Now having voyaged through the twitter-verse, I'll just never be the same.



Rose was in 1st this morning as I voted.

Help me in this twitter-verse. Kyle Van Noy tweeted, "RT once per day #CoachDaveRose #Timeout2Vote". I've seen others state that you can "tweet" and you can "retweet".



1st, was does the "RT" in his message mean? Retweet?



2nd, daily if I go to Twitter and type "#Timeout2Vote #CoachDaveRose" and that only, is that being counted by Infiniti as a vote? Does it matter the order of those 2 hash tags? KVN had them reversed.



3rd, I notice at the bottom of some tweets there is an icon to "retweet". If you click on those, does that count as a vote by Infiniti also? Is that what they mean by retweeting?



I'm just trying to understand the means whereby I can make as many votes daily as possible. I love the challenge of this and that cougar nation is rising up to do this at this time.

A tweet is your new post. A retweet is you re-posting another's post. Both count for this contest. And the order of the hashtags doesn't matter, just their inclusion.

So someone could go through all the tweets they find with those 2 hashtags in the body of the message, hit the retweet button, and each of those counts as a vote?

There's a tweet limit per day, I think 3?

Up to 3 times per day, yes.
