Register or LoginTrending Topics only happen when there's a large volume of people (thousands) tweeting at the same time. A hundred (100) people isn't going to cut it, not even close. Realistically-speaking, you can't organize these twitterthons within 5 days. The Justice4MJ facebook groups, which have thousands of members, plan these things a month in advance and they're not always successful (from what I've seen, their failure is due to their timing; they change it around). I guess what I'm trying to say is, this needs to be better organized and we need to recruit a lot more people.edit: Here's a video the mj4justice group made regarding TT's [youtube:1myn7wlo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBjegDg50SI&feature=player_embedded[/youtube:1myn7wlo]Update #1: #ripmj jumped to over 4000 people tweeting and is still only trending in the US as opposed to Worldwide. =Update #2: #ripmj is a worldwide trend (6th place TT; 3rd place hashtag) right now at around 6,000 contributors. That means we need somewhere between 4,000-6,000 people to get a TT.Update#3: Nvm, looking at the hashtag currently in first place, it has 2,800 contributors but they're tweeting at a higher frequency. So like I first mentioned, we need thousands of people tweeting at the same time and apparently our tweets shouldn't have more than a couple of seconds separating them (not on an individual basis, but the group as a whole).Yet, the 2nd place TT hashtag has around 5700 contributors (having lots of people doesn't hurt either).Question: Does this forum have a facebook group? I think it's essential for efficiently executing events like these. On FB event pages, members can signify whether: (1) they will participate (2) they might participate or (3) they're not participating at all. That number updates immediately and you can change your status at any moment (just in case you thought you could participate, but turns out you cannot - or visa versa). That way, we can gauge whether or not we have enough people.
First, we need to set a date and time, and from that we can start "promoting".I think the main reason we didn't succeed to get #elvisandmjdotcom trending is that we were bombarded with articles, live streams and TV shows on the 25th, and people simply forgot we had a date with Twitter. No problem, sh@t happens, so I we need to pick a new date and make it work this time.As soon as we have picked a date and time Souza and I can send every member a PM. We will also put a message on the index of this website. Those who have Twitter, Facebook and/or MySpace can promote the event on their social network page as well.Keep in mind that we made #MJalive trending on March 25th, so we can make #elvisandmjdotcom trending as well!
Call me stupid but I have never tweeted in my life so how do you go about doing it??Help from anyone???
