About Tweetaways

Tweetaways.com is an easy way to pick a random winner for your next twitter contest or giveaway. Tweetaways was dreamed up by, Rodney Blackwell @CircleR, after seeing a lot of contests being held on Twitter. Rodney always wondered how they were picking a random winner out of all of those tweets, and thought it would be cool if we could “see” the drawing happening.
