The Charleston Regional Business Journal and TheDigitel have concluded their Twitter race to see which of the two local media powerhouses would hit 1,000 followers first.

Both outlets hit 1,000 followers on the microblogging service last month, with the Business Journal winning by a nose. Tonight, both Charleston-based companies will award the prizes to one lucky follower who participated in the contest.

A box of delicious MoonPies, a case of RC Cola and a gift certificate to a local barbecue joint will be awarded at 7 tonight at Duke’s Barbecue in Ridgeville. The public is invited to attend, enjoy some barbecue and discuss the role of new media in the world as well as the merits of mustard-based sauce.

Check out Twitter and follow the Charleston Regional Business Journal and follow TheDigitel.
