Send a Tweet, Win a Jeep

Normally we don’t cover promotional giveaways, but when you introduce Twitter into the equation, it becomes part of the “social media is the new plutonium” story. Thus, we report to you that Chrysler is offering to give away a brand-new 2010 Jeep Wrangler Islander through its Tweet-to-Win Contest.

Starting Monday, March 15, through Friday, March 19, you need to have a computer or smartphone handy. Follow Jeep on Twitter, and each day Jeep will tweet a new Jeep-branded trivia question to followers. The first person to answer the question correctly will win a trip for two to the 2010 New York International Auto Show next month.

Then, on Thursday, April 1, all five winning contestants will have the opportunity to win the new Wrangler Islander by digging through a massive sandbox constructed specifically for the show. They’ll barrel through the sand until they find the “Golden Tiki,” which wins the new Islander.
