Very nice article about this interesting topic. Does anyone of us know if is possible to schedule our tweets to be retwitee in according with different time zones?
IMO this could be a very powerful resource but needs a more strategic plan to use it and get better results from that, nothing to complex to be discussed , but a quickly strategic plan easily to be implemented with the resources that we already have. Maybe after some mails about this topic we can find a good and smart way to use our ambassadors program to make these social networking tools more helpful and effectively inside openSUSE project. Some bullets bellow: * create a workflow for using twiteer, identica, ... * different workflows for announcements, events, devel, end-users, power-users, marketing... * as we have ambassadors enough to cover most part of the world, they can be very useful and helpful if they are direct involved with this issue. Example: I'm a ambassador in brazil that likes to help with ambassadors program and because this sometimes I tweet some articles, news, ... about ambassadors program. but remember that article?, only near than nothing is viewed and keep in others birds mind after one hour from my tweeted time. Then now I have two choices, first keep losing me time (twitting vary late or very early but never during normal working hours - remember that like many others I have others activities and business during my normal workhours), but my second is to use our (future) social networking workflow program to help all ambassadors to receive and spread that message more than once for week respecting different time zones and targets. summary: - better understand social networking usage - create a strategic program for it - one etherpad could be good too - easy and quickly workflow - better usage of our ambassadors program to meet strategic needs using social networking tools. >>> Em 13/10/2010 às 08:34 AM, na mensagem <201010131334.18262...@novell.com>, Andreas Jaeger <a...@novell.com> gravou: > On Wednesday 13 October 2010 18:32:34 Bryen M Yunashko wrote: > > A survey was shown with some interesting results about the effects of > > tweeting. > > http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/social.media/10/12/wired.tweets.ignored/in > > dex.html?hpt=T2 > > > > Of particular interest is the part where they talk about any tweets past > > one hour largely go unnoticed.
