Last night while going through recent tweets from friends, I saw this one from Cap Cee:

Download the new #trvsdjam mixtape “Fix Your Face Vol. 2 – Coachella 09″ in exchange for one tweet! http://twitter.trvsdjam.com

While I’m not a huge fan of either Travis Barker or DJ AM, I do like the combined efforts of both.   When you click on the link, you’re asked to make one tweet in order to get the download, sounds like  pretty even trade.  Clicking the link that says Go To Twitter utilizes Twitter’s open API system, requring you to login using your Twitter username and password.  Once you do this, a Tweet will be sent out with exactly how Cap Cee sent his out and you can then download the entire mixtape, Fix Your Face Vol. 2 – Coachella ’09.

The download was amazingly fast and I’ll be honest, I really enjoyed the mix.  I’m sure you could get this off a bittorrent site without sending the tweet out, bit I don’t think they are asking too much for a decent quality mixtape.

Of all the Twitter contests, promotions and scams, this is by far one of the best uses of Twitter I’ve seen to date.  Ironicly, there is no mention of a TRV$DJAM twitter account to follow them, so they aren’t even hoping to get more followers, they just want to utiliz Twitter to spread the word.  Free viral advertising at its finest.
