Great idea. I'm pretty lost on twitter too, but as something to alert fellow members to and about, could be very useful.

Hey JM if this is going to be a usefull tool lets get organized. Edit the origonal post a bit to be more to the point and keep an updated list of all the links of the different twitter acounts so a newcomer can just click away and follow everyone very easily.

Something like this:

https://twitter.com/Kentactic
https://twitter.com/Straight_Prep
https://twitter.com/WIPrep

Let me also add that the official SP.com Twitter account should be run by TG or atleast a mod of some kind. Otherwise its just another user using SP's name to post his personal stuff which might aswell just be under his name. just my opinion.

I thought about this, I am not a mod but I do need something useful to do. So I think I could do it. Besides tg is busy alot of the time.

I don't have a problem with Kobalt running the SP Twitter feed as long as it stay useful and relevant to goings on. Not poking at you Kobalt, but please no unsubstantiated rumors and stuff like that. I know TG has a pretty good head for that sort of thing, but if he is too busy to keep up on it, then at least keep my points in mind.

Got the SP and Ken's feed added to mine so far.

What would yall like to see tweeted the most?

I suppose current SP Contests, News, High value threads etc. Twitter could easily become another big way to bring in users. For example: Posting a link to a thread about how to make your own water filter would bring in interested followers. But in order to get followers we must advertise. If we need donations to put towards ad space on other forums im sure we could all dig for change in the couch to make it happen. TG needs to stop trying to make a living and respond to this thread already.

I agree. Also TG has a great channel But, We need a dedicated Straight Prep channel that multiple members can upload good videos on.

I think TG is up in the PNW climbing Mt. Rainer.

A picture comes to mind:  Of bearded man walking up a path to the summit with 10+ tin cooking stoves affixed to the outside of his back pack clanking away with each step he takes.

If nothing else he will be scaring away the bears.  :))
 

PS: I posted a test msg to Straight_Prep twitter today....

Everybody jumped on the twitter bandwagon. So we thought is would be a good way to branch out.
Title: Re: Twitter
Post by: thatGuy on August 15, 2012, 01:09:26 AM
Branch out to what? I am pleased that you jumped up and grabbed the ball but to what end?

I'm not trying to be a prick I just don't understand the need.

On twitter there are alot of prepping forums and blogs who have a twitter. We could branch out to them and bring more traffic to the forum.

Welcome home. Any stories?
Title: Re: Twitter
Post by: thatGuy on August 15, 2012, 12:37:17 PM
Not really, for all the fun it was quite uneventful.

I passed a 80 year old woman who could hardly walk on a 2000' foot tall scree slope. She was 2 miles and about 1200' vertical from the nearest trailhead. How she got there I have no clue.

Russians, Russians everywhere and boy howdy they put out a good spread and their daughters.... Holy Mother of God wrapped in spandex.

I went to the Grove of the Patriarchs, those trees are huge. easy 10'-12' round.

Got shitty drunk one night with a retired Ranger from the Second Battalion.

Threw snowballs at people... 2nd week of August folks.

Really uneventful.

 
Title: Re: Twitter
Post by: JohnyMac on August 15, 2012, 12:55:28 PM
LOL! For you to get drunk the Ranger must of had some great stories to tell.

Welcome back!
