All of the so-called social networking sites are stooping to new lows in 
trying to garner users and interest.

Twitter seems to be the worst of the lot at this. Just try watching the "News" 
on CNN for more than 10 minutes without something about Twitter being 
mentioned. Of course the fact that twitter is Time Warner probably has 
something to do with this.

Since a lot of nVidia's customers are adolescent gamers, or at least nVidia 
perceives them to be, this probably explains this latest Twitter promotion.

I agree with Matt, this promotion will backfire with me. If I had alternatives 
I would refuse to buy their products, and let them know why. Insulting the 
intelligence of your potential customers is generally not a good marketing 
technique.

But us Mythers are probably not perceived as a customer group worth going 
after. They are going after the Twits.
