[Freelancer Community News]@Freelancer_MP - FL joins Twitter!
-
Sorry for the lack of updates. Been a busy week whilst I revise for my first MCP award.
We now have 86 followers, and a great deal of these we are not following. This means they are following us for one of three reasons. 1) They are spam bots (Boo!) - Negative
2) They are Gaming sites that follow EVERYONE - Actually a positive.
3) They have an active interest in Freelancer. - Very positiveSo, lets get some stats posted. Although still only 4 sites active. The stats are fairly high.
The Starport - Live - Feed recieved 24 clicks across two tweets.
Procyon Server - Live - Feed recieved 46 clicks across three tweets.
Digital Brilliance - Live - Feed recieved 36 clicks across three tweets.
Freelancer Community - Live . Feed recieved 51 clicks across 4 tweetsThat’s 157 unique visitors to 4 sites. That’s 157 visitors you might not have had previously.
I can’t assure anyone that these visitors will turn into members or players. But it should be an indication that there is a potential for this idea to grow and work as time goes on.
Thanks,
R.

Eh…without wanting to mean this badly, but could it be that some server and community adminstrators dont have the knowledge for creating RSS feeds? I, for example, don’t have (but I am no server admin so…).
I mean, is there any volunteer who is willing to help them getting such a thing installed?
Just a guess why most servers don’t use your service. -
Without trying to sound too sarcastic… because it really isnt meant to be so…
Type ‘Create a RSS Feed’ into Google and you have everything you need.
The first result is;

Also wrote an email, but if you haven’t got it Roo, here it is:
Hey Roo,
I’m tai from ffs-freelancer.com(France Freelancer Server) and we would like to submit out RSS Link, it leads directly to our News Forums. Here it is: http://ffs-freelancer.com/syndication.php?fid=30
I’ve got one question, what does it Tweet? The headline only? Because they may be French from time to time, text also.
Thanks, tai & FFS-CommunityI also think this is an very nice PR Action, keep up that good ideas!
-
Hi Tai,
Yes, I have been setting the Tweet to the Headlines only, so to keep the tweets simple and easy to read.
I will add your RSS feed to the account now. Don’t worry, I am sure you will see some positive feedback, even if the tweets are in French.
I also think this is an very nice PR Action, keep up that good ideas!
Thank you for your support.

BTW, hard to believe TSP started with just the 4 of us on the Universal Modding site, how time flies ;)**
how long ago was that now?

Hi all,
I am very sorry for the lack of updates on this. I have been extrememly busy of late. I was a Steward for the Xbox Xtival Festival last month, and I have had reviews and stories backing up. However today is a catch up day and I have some figures for you.
The Starport - Live - Feed recieved 37 clicks across two tweets. (No Updated Feeds in a long time?!)
Procyon Server - Live - Feed recieved 84 clicks across various tweets.
Digital Brilliance - Live - Feed recieved 52 clicks across various tweets.
Freelancer Community - Live - Feed recieved 259 clicks across various tweets
FFS Freelancer - Live - Live - Feed recieved 137 clicks across various tweets.I have also added a presuffix to each tweet that goes out. For instance any Tweets for Digital Brilliance now begin with (Digital Brilliance) and Procyon will begin with (Procyon). Anyway, you get the idea.

Well hey, nobody posts bloody news. What can we do?
-
I kinda got past the Twitter fever, I haven’t even checked my account in a long time …… it’s just that I find Twitter to be boring, useless, pointless … >insert more bad stuff here< … just my 2 cents.
-
Thats your personal opinion.
But did you realise Twitter has surpassed all over online forms of social advertising? IE it is making BILLIONS in revenue.
Everyone is entitled to a personal opinion, but make sure you realise why we are doing it. I dont use it to communicate with people. I use it purely for advertising.
-
Indeed that’s only my opinion but I posted that as a hint of possible reasons why so few ppl checked our(the starport) twitter acc …… as in, maybe others feel like I do.
Anyway, keep it up :)) -
Maybe, just maybe, people don’t check it because we get a new tweet a month at best because nobody sends news?

A request, put a link above ‘View Account’ called ‘Submit News’….
