What are you doing now?
This is the only question asked by Twitter. Apparently, the General Convention will be "twittering" throughout the convention.
What do you think about this?
Will this "twitter" the results of resolutions, elections, appointments, etc., in real time?
Will this be helpful to the constituency of the PCG?
Two Downs and an Up:
ReplyDeleteDown1: At only 160 characters per tweet, it'd be hard to do the resolution results.
Down2: Thus far, only 35 folks are even following those tweets -- that's not reaching very many, especially if most of those followers are already at convention.
Up: If they really want to get followers, they should offer something you can't get anywhere else -- like:
- early election results
- goodies/discounts to anyone who has the code word tweeted just that morning.
I hated to stop with just two ideas for what we could offer via twitter, but I had writer's block.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have other ideas?
Here's a 3rd -- tweet each speaker's "points" and/or soundbytes while they're preaching. Tweet scripture references. Tweet source info of quotes (e.g. Our Story, by Aaron Wilson, pg 52). Tweet names of books, websites, or magazine articles for "further reading". Folks could quickly find out anything they missed, and they'd have a basic set of notes instantly available.
Here's a thought: Tweet whenever a new item of business opens or a new ballot is ready to be cast. This will get all of those playing hallway hookey to leave their conversations and get in the convention.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Randy Lawrence is the "tweetmaster" for the convention feed. Is he following this conversation?
