Then please join us.
We will be using DailyKos diaries as a launch pad to address, at the speed of social media: the Lies, Damned Lies, Bald-faced Lies and #PantsOnFire Lies of the #GOTP #GOP #RepublicanParty #Republicans #TBagRs #TeaParty #DeepPocketsGOPDonors and anyone else using lies to promote their #Candidate #Party #PlatformPlank #SpecialInterest #RichAssHat or anything else.
How can you help?
Meet me below the Fleur-de-kos for the deets...
So, two Kossacks (teresahill and kwik), in a thread in a diary a day ago pondered the ability of Kossacks to form a sort of Rapid Response Team, to support the re-election of President Obama and other Democratic candidates, using Twitter.
I read that and had an epiphany.
Of course we can do that!
I just don't know why someone else didn't think of it sooner.
So, here's how it'll go.
For those who wish to join the Group:
Anyone who would like to join the Group TO watch the news for NEW LIES coming from the #GOP or the #RomneyRyan campaign AND write diaries about those NEW LIES (including links to sources for the truth of the matter) - PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT asking to join. |
You will receive an invite to become a Member. This will allow you to write a diary, and using the Publication Manager, publish it directly to the Group OR you can publish it under your name, and then re-publish to the Group. The difference between those two is that if you publish to your own UID first, it will go directly to the Recent Diaries list. If you publish to the Group, it will NOT go to the Recent Diaries List until a TWEETers group Editor or Admin sets the date/time of publication. Also, if you publish to the Group, Editors and Admins have the ability to EDIT your diary, although we don't intend to do so at this time.
|
If you would like to be more involved, helping manage the Diary Queue for instance, please note it in your comment, so that your status can be set to Editor. |
For everyone else?
If you are already using Twitter, please watch your TwitterFeed for our #DKosTWEETer hashtag, and RT (retweet) them whenever you see one. Also, please Rec and/or Tweet our diaries, to help get the message out.
UPDATE - due to some concerns, please note --
any of these hashtags will be recognized as referring to DKosTWEETers:
#DKosTWEETers
#DKosTWEETer
#DKosTWEET
#DKTWEETers
#DKTWEETer
#DKTWEET
If you are not using Twitter, please consider doing so! It's easy to build a following on Twitter. I've got over 300 people following me now on Twitter, and I am just someone's Nana in a small town, so I know that you can do it, too. The more Kossacks who Tweet and garner FOLLOWERs there, the wider our audience will become and the faster the message we are pushing will get
out there.
I will be doing diaries on how to join Twitter, how to use Twitter, how to embed Tweets here on DKos and elsewhere, and other Tweet-related activities. These diaries will have screen shots so that you can see what is being explained.
So. We've built it. Will you come join us?
