April 26 Tweetathon

From Laura at SOS:

#SaveTheSeeker Twettathon

Please save the date!

We'll be twitting the hashtag: #SaveTheSeeker on Twitter, Thursday, April 26 to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the Save Our Seeker campaign. It's been that long and we're still fighting.

The Tweetathon starts at 12:00 noon PDT and ends at 2:00 pm PDT. You can check your time zone here.

To have better chances of trending #SaveTheSeeker worldwide, please focus your tweets (or schedule your tweets) between 12 noon and 2pm Pacific (USA) Daylight Time. Supposedly, if we also start tweeting a couple of minutes before the set time of 12 noon, there's a better chance of jump-starting the trend, so please give that a try too.

Please Spread the word on LiveJournal, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Forums, deviantArt, You Tube, etc..

#SaveTheSeeker TWEETATHON GUIDELINES

Please do NOT use the hash-tag #SaveTheSeeker at all in any tweets until Thursday, April 26 at 12 noon PDT. -- Why? The more people that suddenly “rapid-fire” a newer topic, the more likely the topic is to reach the top trends list, which is our goal.
Twitter only counts ONE hashtag per Tweet. So ONLY use the one hashtag of #SaveTheSeeker (If you use more than one hashtag (#), none of them will count.
Do NOT swear/curse in your tweets. Twitter will NOT count them towards trending.
Please tweet the hashtag of #SaveTheSeeker and let non-fans know why and where they should watch 'Legend of the Seeker.' (Plus, we are also wanting to continue to let Networks/Executives know that we want more of 'Legend of the Seeker' )
Request reruns of LotS Season 1 & Season 2 from the networks.
Also politely tell the networks below why they should pick up the show for a 3rd season or mini-series.
Space permitting, include a URL where potential new fans and/or networks can find more information about the show and the SOS campaign. Good websites or pages to direct people to are:
www.saveourseeker.com/
www.facebook.com/LegendoftheSeeker
www.youtube.com/lotsvideo

RETWEETS

Re-tweeting other fans' tweets can make it easy to join in the fun too.

To re-tweet another Seeker's tweet with #SaveTheSeeker hashtag, you can either search on twitter for that, or click here: twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%23SaveTheSeeker, and then just re-tweet the tweets that you like. (When searching on Twitter for #SaveTheSeeker, when the results come up, please click on 'All' instead of the default of 'Top', so that you can see ALL of the other Seekers' tweets to choose from )
Please try to retweet the "original" tweet with the hashtag, so that the hashtag doesn't get cut off.
(or you can copy/paste them)
If you try to tweet something exactly the same that you've already tweeted, Twitter might *warn* you about that - so you'll have to tweak/adjust your tweet a bit if that happens.
You're welcome to re-tweet posts from @saveourseeker, twitter.com/SaveOurSeeker

NEW TO TWITTER?

If you've never used Twitter, this is a good reason to start.
It takes less than 5 minutes to sign up and Twitter is actually very easy to use.
Go to: twitter.com/ to create an account.

**Helpful Hints for Twitter**
http://kahlanrichardlots.proboards.c...ay&thread=3305

NOTE:
If you have a 'PRIVATE' Twitter account, you'll need to change it to 'PUBLIC' if you want your Tweets to count towards Trending. (You can always change your account back to Private after the Tweetathon )

Another option is to create a separate PUBLIC twitter account (which is also a good idea for those of us who go to "Twitter Jail" )

P.S. Rumour has it that you need at least 10 followers so that your tweets count towards "Trends". Please make sure to tweet from your alternative/new Twitter account to let other Seekers know to follow you.
_________________________________

"TWITTER JAIL"

-This happens when you tweet more than your limit in a day/in an hour, so it's good to have an eXtra Twitter account or two when this happens.

You can tell when you're in "Jail" as a message will come up saying something similar to: "Oops! An Error Has Occurred". Then that account is usually "Frozen" for at least an hour, sometimes more.
