So I was on Twitter sometime ago and I think I witnessed the first ever interview on Twitter between Rob Dyrdek (@robdyrdek) and 5ones (@5ones). It’s cool to see these things happen out in public instead of on the phone or email. It really grasps the whole social media aspect.

They were talking about Rob’s new movie Street Dreams, which is out now on limited release so that means I won’t be able to see it anytime soon. Also about the new season of Fantasy Factory, which you need to check out if you haven’t because it is bad ass!

Click on the images below to see the full interview between them.

UPDATE: Congrats to @DinaJ her name was drawn and she accepted the headphones. Thanks to everyone that entered. I will be doing more drawing soon!

I’m giving away a pair of Bose Triport In-Ear headphones. How do you win? Simple, just follow me @midwestkel on Twitter and re-tweet the following message:

RT @midwestkel: Bose giveaway! Just follow @midwestkel and RT this. Full details here, http://TwitPWR.com/6T3/

Contest starts Monday March 2, 2009 and ends Monday March 9, 2009 @ Midnight MST.

One random person will be drawn from RT and will be verified that they are following me. I will then contact the winner to get their address and ship them. I will only ship them for free in the US or Canada outside of those countries the winner must pay for shipping.

I have the right to cancel this contest at any time for any reason (I probably won’t I just want to cover myself).

I have been using Twitter for a while now and run across all kinds of sites out there for Twitter using the API or giving stuff to help improve your Twitter profile. Here is a list of the one that I remeber running across. If you have more sites that you think I should add email me.

Facebook User: I just bought some shoes from the mall.
Twitter User: I’m at the mall buying shoes.
LinkedIn User: I own a shoe store, you should come work for me.
