The You Tweet! series has produced yet another winner. In the months of September and October, we profiled four tweeters who let us into their individual experiences on the social networking site. That list included @vivsleek, @RIPFaceboook, @MrFixNigeria and @ToluOgunlesi. They then took their turns in campaigning for our votes and for the past few weeks, they all been locked in a battle to come out tops for September and October.

YNaija is delighted to announce that after 248 unique votes on the poll, the winner is ……… *drum roll*…… @RIPFaceboook! The runner-up is @Vivisleek who got 37 votes. @ToluOgunlesi ended up in third position. Here is how the top three finished:

@RIPFaceboook…………..…………….……..186 votes
@Vivisleek…………….………………………….37 votes
@ToluOgunlesi…………………………………..13 votes

Congratulations to @RIPFaceboook. What this means is the top three – @RIPFaceboook, @Vivisleek and @ToluOgunlesi – move to the next round. They will be joined by the top three in August who will all feature in the first quarterly poll. Voting for the November tweeters commences very soon.

About Our Twitter Series:
First there was radio, then satellite television, the internet and now… Twitter! In just a few years, this social networking platform has changed the face of communication and convergence around the world. Even news now breaks on Twitter first! As the connoisseurs of popular culture, YNaija created its Twitter series (Twitter Round-up, Twitter Round-up Xtra & You Tweet) with the aim of profiling this New World of information, connection and – in all honesty – fun! At YNaija we think of Twitter as the new, global office water cooler. Gather round!
