Your Tweets Lower the Price of Retail Items. Brilliant!
Published September 8th, 2010 by Coy Lothrop
Japansese retailer, UNIQLO, has done it again. This time the digital savants make use of Twitter in a dual effort of both marketing and discounting products. The concept makes tweeting about their products (and indirectly their brand) worthwhile. Here's how it works: if you tweet about their products, the price drops. So, the more you spread the word, the greater the discount.
Wow. Just wow.
Of course, there is a limit on how low a price drops, but hey, power to the consumer. Final prices will be revealed Thursday, September 9th.
Now You Can Teleport Too

My first 'shuffle' was a neighborhood in South Africa.
Where did it take you?
