Have you guys even read the whole thread or previous threads about this? It wasn't about who won because it's been proven who won. It's about how CR is handling this topic and scapegoating on their participants.

That's too bad that this issue has popped up, more so that no ones made an official response yet. I'll try to clear up some misconception about re-tweeting. There are two types of RT's, the first version of retweeting was to make an actual tweet with "RT" the user and then their tweet. Due to the popularity of RT's, a few months ago Twitter officially launched an RT feature that allows you to click a "retweet" link without having to physically type out the message, thus making it easier to RT.

@wonderlandvirus your app does not show it because it doesn't seem to support the feature yet. I use Tweetie and the original version of the app did not support the new RT feature, however, Tweetie 2 does.

If you look at eimii's twitter page you can see that she used the RT feature and didn't tweet "RT"

Unfortunately this seems to be the mistake of the CR team who picked the winners for not properly understanding the features of Twitter and solely relying on people who tweeted RT, most likely because they used the search to find RT's or they have an out dated app.

To demonstrate see: http://twitter.com/#search?q=nintendo%20admits
and then check out my page http://twitter.com/tekmosis the search does not include the RT done by the feature. Hopefully the staff take note of my post to help prevent any future contest mishaps that involve Tweeting.
