Omni Tech News interview with Throwboy founder Roberto Hoyos

Hey Everybaady! (That’s how John Mayer would say it.. “Baady.”)

Well it’s been such a fun and exciting month for Throwboy and I can’t thank you guys enough for all your support. THANK YOU!

I had the pleasure of being Interviewed by Lucas and Robert from Omni Tech News yesterday.  Omni Tech News was started by three really great kids; Robert, Lucas, and Carson. They review tech and gadgets on their Youtube channel http://youtube.com/omnitechnews and website http://omnitechnews.com.

They just posted the interview video, so have a look!  And don’t forget to subscribe!

Since there were FAR more retweets than Facebook joiners we picked a few more from Twitter just to be fair. And we picked 8 people total (instead of 6) because again, we couldn’t resist not picking more of you to have pillows :)

Congrats to all the winners! And thanks again to all that entered. This was EPIC :D

See ya soon,

Roberto

Throwboy pillow Twitter giveaway!

Hey guys and gals!

Yesterday, I was in a giving kind of mood and thought it would be fun to do a little Throwboy pillow giveaway to my Twitter followers.  All you had to do was Retweet “I want to win my very own @Throwboy pillow! Retweet for a chance to win!” and we would randomly select 5 winners (originally 3 but we couldn’t resist). Simple, huh?  Maybe a few would do it…maybe 100, I thought. 

um…no. I was waaaaaaay off! :)  

Twitter was going nuts with the Retweet yesterday and as a result Throwboy was one the top 5 retweeted accounts on Twitter!  Just under @tweetmeme, @mashable, @breakingnews and Ashton Kutcher.  Throwboy even managed to beat P. Diddy in popularity which was pretty sweet lol.

(This picture was snapped right before Throwboy took the lead. I thought I told you that we won’t stop.)

Anyhoo, here are the winners!

@manolosavi

@brendons2

@Mandarific

@paperclippe

@thegeek010

Each of you won a Throwboy pillow of your choice! W00t!

Thanks to everyone who retweeted and thank you SO much to the new followers! You guys rule. srsly.

If you didn’t win, don’t worry! This was WAY too much fun to only do once.  Expect more Twitter giveaways soon!

Thanks again,
