**Special Seeker NALU Trend Added Below**
--Banner by elessar 
The X-Files3 Army has been Invited to Join the Seeker WarWagon and Alli's Allies for Twitter Trending Tries during this upcoming Weekend of May 14th - 16th/2010 
As per a conversation between: Richie @mystical_Truth , @agentaddek , loveacrosstime & Myself (@agentextremis) a few days ago, we decided that it was time to try to combine our first love fandom with our new love fandom
"Trending" on Twitter, is a top 10 list of what people are tweeting about, so it's FREE promotion 
(To see what is Trending, look along the right-hand side of your twitter page about half-way down. You can change the view to 'Worldwide'/various Countries/Areas too, to see what is Trending in different places.
Previously, we've had #LegendOfTheSeeker, #SaveOurSeeker, #BridgetRegan, #MotherConfessorDay and #AllisonMack all trending Worldwide
The proposition is for a 'Twitter Trend Event' for this coming Weekend to request that our 3 Fandoms team up together and help to try to trend:
#AllisonMack on Friday, May 14th/2010 8PM Eastern Time to 11PM Eastern Time
#LegendOfTheSeeker on Saturday, May 15th/2010
2PM Eastern Time to 5PM Eastern Time
#XFiles3 on Sunday, May 16th/2010
2PM Eastern Time to 5PM Eastern Time
(these times were suggested in the hopes that they will be more convenient for fans Worldwide in order to attend )
Time Conversion site is here:
www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
***Please Note: Some fans teaming up for this might not have ever used Twitter/Trended before, so it would be really great if fans with knowledge of these could help others out with what we've learned so far

I think the new algorithm blocks words that have been trending topic recently, that’s why there’s no more #JustinBieber, #AllisonMack, #LegendoftheSeeker or #SaveOurSeeker (#TheTrueSeeker also, maybe cause it contains the forbidden word “seeker”) . Twitter team said that they’re searching for breaking news. So we should try new words. Some ideas: #S3ekers (season3+Seekers), #LotS, #RichardCypher or #RichardRahl (instead of #CraigHorner, which we’ve tried before). If #XFiles3 becomes trending topic today, that will prove the point. Next week will trend the rest of the Legend of the Seeker cast, since we haven't trend them, they should trend too. We have to try several hashtag (not spontaneous but planned) in order to understand what’s happening with twitter. Sorry for my English.  |

From Ken Liska on LOTS.org:
I posted this over on the Triple Trending Event page but thought it might be useful to re-post here. It was a response to a conversation about Twitter's new filtering rules and spam policy with regards to trending. The "examples" I refer to were from the #TabrettBethell trend sampling I posted over in that forum.
Something else of note from that example is there are no "Retweets". Retweeting is perfectly acceptable is something is good. In fact the new Twitter interface for searching weights tweets by how much they've been Retweeted. A search for "@bridgetregan" a few minutes ago had WrittenByMikeS's latest tweet that mentioned Bridget in it (it had been retweeted 24 times) right at the top of the search results.
From reading through the Twitter policy it seems that they are flagging accounts as "spam". If your account is flagged as a spammer your tweets will show up for you and anybody following you but nobody else, and they will not count towards trending. The only way to resolve this is to not be flagged for spam by their algorithm for a period of time.
An easy way to test if your flagged for spam is to sent a tweet out to a hash tag that isn't very busy then do a search on it to see if your tweet comes up. If it doesn't you're flagged and nothing you tweet will be considered for trending. You'll want to make a new account for that and make sure you don't send "spam" tweets. See the Twitter policy ( help.twitter.com/forums/26257/entries/18311 ) for all the rules.
I highly recommend you get familiar with a link shortening site, I prefer bit.ly myself. There is a toolbar add-on for it that makes generating links and tweets very simple (I use it in both Internet Explorer & Google Chrome). Instructions for setting up and using the Bit.ly bar on the main page.
I try to leave 13 open characters on my tweets so that they can be easily retweeted without losing any content ("RT @kenliska " takes up 13 characters). If somebody does a retweet the default behavior is to add the "RT @name" to the beginning and truncate the tweet down to 140 characters. I often see web links get chopped and unusable when this happens. To avoid this don't end your tweets with a link or make sure there is enough space for the RT tag.
Sample Tweets
SOS & @terrygoodkind1 team up to raise awareness for #LegendoftheSeeker by donating S1 DVDs to libraries bit.ly/bRXjip
I recommend epic TV show #LegendoftheSeeker on Washington-Baltimore @cw @dc50thecw Sun at 11p bit.ly/c1tMcG

These are just some examples.
Tweeting Tips
Use a single hash tag to identify the trend, I strongly recommend #LegendoftheSeeker since it's easier to fit in to any tweet than #SaveOurSeeker and it has the most use today. If we use different tags on different tweets it splits our effort.
You can use multiple hash tags in a tweet but it is recommended to keep it under 3. Each tag you use will count towards trending (if your not flagged as a twitter-spammer) but you usually can't get a meaningful message across with multiple tags forced in. I used multiple tags in one example above to help catch the attention of #LegendoftheSeeker and #SwordofTruth fans.
If you include @abcdisney in the tweet it will show up on their feed and they will see it. The more they see the better (as long as they are legit).
If you are sending to a media outlet or organization use full link address. They may not trust the shortened link as it is easier to send spam/viruses through them.
If you want to direct a tweet at an organization or somebody just hop over to Google and type it into google like this example: "Washington Post Twitter" and do a search. If they have a Twitter account it will most likey be the top link, in this case "http://twitter.com/washingtonpost" or "@washingtonpost" in a tweet.
Target your local televsion stations, networks, media outlets. But if you do make sure there is content in the tweet, I recommend the saveourseeker.com/press.html (the .html is required, the page will not load if it is not there) link for them.
Happy Tweeting!
