#SFFCHRONS

[Jo Zebedee]

I've now tried Tweetdeck and it looks very useful. I didn't realise it would be free. It also updates a lot quicker than the main page.

Is it necessary to add #sffchrons to every tweet, even if it's a straight reply to one that's already tagged?

Yes! Add the hashtag. Don't leave it off - otherwise we all have to follow multiple threads and responses.

Did I mention - ALWAYS USE THE HASHTAG!!!!!

Now I'm going to panic and forget!

Don't panic too much. It happens in every one of these we have. So long as the majority have the hashtag, it's normally okay to keep up with.

Replies should be fine w/o the tag. And also if you're adding a new tweet to an existing one (basically replying to yourself to make a thread).

EDIT: oops, follow Jo's advice instead of mine!!!!!!!!!!

(basically replying to yourself to make a thread).

I think I'll try to avoid that -- it could turn into a nasty argument.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Starting in two minutes! I have some questions jotted down if things get slow, but it's better if I can be free to keep an eye on timings and threads where the hashtag might have been left off get lost.

Remember! USE THE HASHTAG!!!!! Enjoy.

Sorry, I couldn't make it with my Big Boys Book of Useless Facts. Work got in the way. How'd it go?

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Seemed to go well - the hour was filled easily. Thanks to all for the Qs and retweets

 

[Abernovo]

I missed it, too. Work. Next time? It looks like it was a good time.

I'm sure we'll find more victims in time... hell, maybe go for two hours next time?

2 hours is tough going - until you’ve tried to keep up with all the threads and reply you don’t see how tough it is. Bryan did well keeping up
- I was hitting out a q every 5 mins!

Happy to do another one. But I need suggestions as to what

 

[Juliana]

Jo, you did a great job moderating and keeping questions going! I was trying to think of an intelligent question, but everyone else had Bryan well covered. And Bryan, nice work keeping up! I missed the end because I had to go to work, but hopefully we managed to promote the hashtag a little!!!

I would have died without Tweetdeck. I enjoyed it, partly because rattling off answers without minutes of thought and several redrafts isn't my normal way of doing things. Otter's tweets appeared under my name a couple of times, which might raise an eyebrow if anyone reads them without context.

If we get more participants, I think it would be better if the topic suited short answers that didn't then need following up. Trying to keep track of multiple proper discussions would be very difficult.

For $ 150 you can become a licensed what in Texas?

Apparently, a dead animal hunter.

I can see how hunting dead animals might appeal to some people. You get more time to aim.

Or does it mean something else?

Hey, no fair. I thought you rules were we asked you the questions? ;p

In answer though, I'm not sure. I just keep seeing Elmer Fudd saying "Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting woadkill."

Okay, let's get some more set up. Remember, the # only gains relevance, if we use it. So....

I have a promo for Waters and the Wild, apparently, from 21st-28th September. Anyone up for grilling me at some point? Maybe the Friday evening again?

And, anyone else up for it?

 

[HareBrain]

Can't do Friday 21st as it's TEP's bookshop launch. Might be able to make the 28th.
