We chose a winner for the pig-naming Bye Bye Birdie contest. Watch the video below to see what name won.

Milton is the new CheapTweet mascot! He’s going to help all of us save lots of money.

Help us name our new mascot! We’re running a contest to see who can come up with the best name for our new pig. Just tweet:

Hey @cheaptweet, name the pig _____! http://bit.ly/c0cjdZ #cheaptweetpig

and you’ll be entered to win some cool CheapTweet swag and be immortalized for your pig-naming skills.

You’re probably familiar with our beloved mascot – the adorable bird who tweets about good deals. We’ve had this bird for more than a year, but it’s time for us to move on. So as we usher in a new era of finding deals, we say goodbye to the bird and present to you the new CheapTweet mascot – this incredibly cute little pig.

But this pig needs a name! And we need your help in picking something really, really good. Starting right now, we’re going to solicit all the name recommendations we can via Twitter. We’ll then pick our favorite name and whoever comes up with that name will win a great prize!

To enter, post this message with your name idea: “Hey @cheaptweet, name the pig _______! http://bit.ly/c0cjdZ #cheaptweetpig”

• Tweet the message above with your suggestion filled in

The contest will run through Thursday night.

• Contest ends at 10:00 p.m. CST, Thursday, 3/11/10
• We’ll announce the winner on Friday, 3/12/10

Whoever picks the best name gets a great prize!

• The CheapTweet team will select their favorite name from all the suggestions
• Whoever picks the best name will win a CheapTweet t-shirt, plus other fun surprises
• If we find more than one name we like, we might have a run-off

So, what do you think should we name our new pig?
