The Twitter Quote-Off Competition

I have been using Twitter recently, and there are certain things I like about it, and a whole heap of things I don’t like about it.

One of those things I dislike is people who mainly just post quotes. For me it is a bit lame, and comes across as preaching… I mean, if I have decided to follow someone, then I want to hear what they have to say.

So instead of complaining about it, I decided to try and make quotes on Twitter more fun, and so I put up a challenge for a quote-off, a quote battle to the death.

As you can see, I made my bold challenge.

And now it was just a case of seeing if the quote-lovers on Twitter had the balls to put their quotes where their mouths is.

The result was that none of the Twitter preachers would accept my challenge, but instead, a social marketing expert saw the humour in my challenge, and decided to put himself forward.

There was however one small detail he wanted to know…

“What did the winner get?”

So I decided to make the stakes even higher, and introduced an amazing prize.

Who could resist the temptation of 3 magic beans?

He accepted the challenge and we decided to twitter our 10 best quotes. He was a worthy opponent, but we had missed one vital detail…

Who decided who the winner was?

This is where you the reader come in, we need a 3rd party to pick the person with the best quotes. I have listed all our quotes below. There is person A and person B. I won’t say which is which, as I don’t want any bias

So check out these quotes, and then leave a comment with the person you thought had the best quotes, either A or B.
