The funny thing is that six people have re-tweeted my stuff to their people. And that's so far. I'm sorry that I haven't been a complete twit before!

Couldn't do it today, forgot which password I signed in with. I'll have it tues.

Fear of the unknown makes my head go DUH but I do want to help. Am I supposed to just tweet these messages and hashtags? Do I send em somewhere specific? Im not twitter literate at all.
QUOTE=rolygate;11443521]OK. See the template message in point #6 in post 1.
The EU are trying to bring in an ecig ban by backdoor methods even though a ban was defeated in the EU Parliament. The entire process is totally corrupt and is driven by financial motives not public health. We need to stop the EU's ecig ban, and their officials, journalists and many others monitor messages with certain hashtags (tags that start with a # symbol).
So if you send a message like, "Stop the undemocratic EU ecig ban. #EUecigban #EU #ecigs"
...then it will add to the volume of messages sent between 9pm and 10pm UTC (GMT) and they will top the trending lists and be seen by many. For example, journalists see this traffic and comment on it.
This is called a 'Twitterbomb' and it does have an effect.[/QUOTE]

Well if you go to Twitter and put "@epipeman" into the search bar you'll see what I attempted. Whether that's right or wrong I can't say but it's what I did. People must've "got it" somehow as some of these were retweeted. Good luck!
FYI (in case you're time-zone impaired like me), 9pm UTC(GMT) is 4pm EST for us yanks. I'm already composing my tweets for today!
The time for compromise has come and gone, the current proposals are death sentence.
Ecigs need to be removed from the TPD, tweets towards @LindaMcAvanMEP asking her to do this would be very useful.

Being new to twitter I found a great tool to help it's called Hoot Suite I downloaded the free version to my computer and it makes it so easy even I can do it! It also allows you to set up a schedule for when your tweets are sent.

I'm one of your RTer's.
55 tweets from yours truly*. Germany made top 10 in both #euecigban and #ecigs. Not so UK or France that I saw. Is there anywhere on twitter to get a post count for a hashtag?
Do we do the same thing tomorrow?
*Some of those tweets were for our daily action plan.

I got in about 125 tweets by 4:30 before getting an alert that I was over my daily tweet limit. I'm a Tweeting newb, so any help in how I should be doing this is appreciated. Created an account yesterday just for this stuff.
Check out Hoot Suite it really helped me.
I feel bad now as I only sent 35 tweets. I'll do better tomorrow
I'll check it out Dave, but I don't think it will help me tweet more, or will it?
It may not help exceed the limits but it allows you to schedule tweets and it made it easier for me (old dog here
) to follow the different hashtags. btw I'm hoping to hit the limits tomorrow

What I saw on the site is a trial version.
I wish this could be done like the Daily Action Plan where all I have to do is click the links and I've tweeted.
