In the "NameCheap Twitter Trivia Challenge", NameCheap asks a holiday trivia question every hour on the hour until Christmas using its Twitter feed. Other Twitter users can respond to the questions with the answer. Three are chosen to win free domains each hour and the three top trivia winners will win iPods. Thus far, NameCheap has amassed over 3300 Twitter followers participating.
"The contest is fun, but we intend to use tools like Twitter and Facebook to interact more directly with our customers. Our development staff is evaluating the Twitter API now to determine how we can use it to better keep our customers informed as well as get their valuable feedback for our service," said Rick Kirkendall, NameCheap's CEO.
Twitter allows people to interchange instant messages of 140 characters or less to all or just one of the people who subscribe to their message feed.

Customers can also ask basic questions about NameCheap's service simply by sending out a Twitter message at NameCheap's attention.
