$100 for a referral bonus is hilariously low. If I get close to a normal recruitment amount - I may spam my friends.

edit: This is in context to it being a contest. Your odds of winning are probably tiny.

From the "Rules":

This competition is open to anyone with a Twitter account who is at least 16 years of age ... You agree to allow InciteBot to share your personal details with affiliated companies. Basically, you agree to let us submit your application to the employer.

Even if I'm a 16 year old twit?

I've noticed an increase in heavy server side and client side jobs, oh and can you do some Flash stuff too? Maybe there are some folks that are really strong on the server and know Flash but I haven't met any.

Erhm.. A referral bonus usually goes to someone who refers someone who actually gets the job, or at least an interview. This merely incentives spamming your followers.

Offer the bonus to the person who tweeted the link that the final candidate used (just like regular affiliate marketing), so people will take care to select and tweet jobs relevant to their followers.

There don't seem to be any rules against using a dummy account with no followers to retweet it.

edit: actually it does say "you must retweet from your own Twitter account" but how is someone's canonical Twitter account determined?

I think they mean you can't hijack 1000 other people's accounts.
