Though I didn't get in last night in the first round of Twitter contest invites, I do know that they are sending emails to the winners. A lot of people emailed in their entry on accounts that aren't tied to their battle.net email, so it gave them a little grief to notify and verify the winners.
EDIT- I was partially wrong- They are sending notifications via the direct message within Twitter, but they really want your email address tagged with Twitter to match the one linked to battle.net.
4. Contest Rules and Prize. Each Tuesday during the Contest Period, Sponsor shall randomly draw One Hundred qualified entrants who will receive one (1) Diablo III Beta Test Key. All Contest winners will be notified via Twitter.com’s “direct message” system with instructions for claiming their respective prizes. Prizes that remain unclaimed thirty (30) days after notification will be forfeited.
Do you have to reenter for the next week or will the non-winning entries be carried over?
That is a good question, I'm not sure. Re-entering can't hurt right?
Also, remember that you also have to e-mail them with a direct link to your tweet! I just made the subject of that e-mail "Twitter Contest"
They direct tweeted me to let them follow me so they could see my tweet and then they sent an email about 3 hours after I retweeted to them that I had accepted.
the more people who are discouraged the better chance i have. Literally its fucking hell and takes hours and its really complicated so don't waste your time entering the contest...please.

Sometimes you don't always know where you stand... until you know that you won't run away.
I just got my invite from the Twitter contest so there is still some luck going around!
I will be leaving on vacation however tomorrow so i won't even be able to play that much
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help the website, I'd be more than happy to try!
Don't give up!
Did Blizz send you an email? or what else?
Have fun while on vacation and enjoy the beta when you come back!

Same, but I'm not kidding. Hand it over.

Screw it, too much work to make a tweet and email them. Not worth my time to not win.
Sending a Tweet and an email is "too much work"? Just how lazy are you LOL. It literally takes 1 minute a week.
Better chances for all of us
I ended up doing it, but I am that lazy when it comes to beta contests. I just get in the mind set that I know I won't win so i don't bother lol
