If you look on your twitter page, there's a little box that says "Compose new Tweet..." Just start typing your tweet in that box. You don't need to put your name or anything else. You also don't need to keep track of how many characters you're typing because a counter will appear underneath the box as you type and tell you how many characters you have left before you reach the maximum of 140. You can put your hashtag anywhere in your tweet. When you finish saying what you want to say, just click "Tweet" underneath the box. Done!Just wanted to add more: - When you tweet, only those people who follow you can see your tweets, others, such as radio stations don't if they don't follow you. - you can only see the tweets of those who you follow. If you want to keep track of your local radio stations, follow them - if you want to tweet your radio stations, you have to insert their twitter address (the one starting with this @ symbol). somewhere in your tweet. If you start with their addy, only they can see your tweet. If you insert it in the middle or the end of your message, all of your followers and the radio station can see it. So you decide how you want to populate your message. - the harsh tag is meant for trending/searching. For example, when Adam had the Trespassing contest, he asked the contestants to insert certain harshtag (I forgot what it was) because when he clicked on that harsh tag he could see all the twitter messages related to the contest. If the harshtag is for searching purpose like that, you can insert it anywhere. The harshtag can be used for trending purpose, but it seems trickier. I heard pple say that it's harder to trend if the harshtags are placed at the beginning of a message, but there are also opposite opinion, and I really don't know which one is correct. hth LOL! Thanks...I am definitely going to bookmark this so I can remember it all!! So I need to start following these radio stations so I can tweet them! Will do.  |

Sorry for being so stupid, but is this Aidan or Liam in this pic?  That's a great art like all your other artworks. Thanks for sharing, and that's Liam, pi kind of answered in her quote, lol. I tweeted this pic to Liam and he loved it. But there was a lot of blood, sweat and tears in this tweet, because I am such a twitter-idiot and I really don't understand much of it : Thanks for the explanation of how twitter works, I appreciate it - and maybe it's not too late for me to learn. He follows me now on twitter - he's my second follower, I think that says all about my twitter-life :4OMG: :4OMG: |

This is a great photo with Liam.. hope he sees it. Not trying to be greedy, but I have a favor to ask... In the original photo there are two faces visible to the right of Liam. In augenpoesie's wonderful picture they are left off though. I think one of them might actually be Aidan, not sure though. If it is him, it might be nice for him to have a personal version where he is back in the picture, because he is such a big Adam fan. I realize that his face is not very easily recognizable in the picture. Leaning on Augenpoesie, whether she might consider that too, even if his features might be a bit vague. Of course Aidan is all over the winning contest video, so it the shadowing is too confusing in the photo, that might help instead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3es052hSM8  |

When I edited the pic I was not sure if the person standing on Liams left side is Aidan - my daughter was standing beside me, saying that he reminded her of the person in the trespassing-video, but we both weren't sure. If it's Aidan I will edit it again Does somebody recognize him? |

I think they are looking at several things: this being a third single, iTunes placement over a long period of time, and requests from station regulars who send in requests for all kinds of artists. You can usually (not always) look at someone's twitter account or facebook and see if they are hard core stans of a particular artist or not. They also have a ton of debut singles from heavy hitters that they are trying to fit into their playlists. There is a small window of opportunity for artists that aren't one of the heavy hit makers. Radio DJs have been in this Idol game for over a decade. They know that a large majority of the requests for Idols are coming from super stans, most (but some do) of whom never listen to their station on a daily basis. That's where the Idol bias comes in, and it does make sense in many ways. PDs and DJs are looking for wide-spread, organically driven interest from their loyal listeners. That happened with WWFM and that is why it was played.
Well said, tigerlily!
btw, my local KISS FM doesn't play his music but they sure know whose name to use to promote the State Fair and whose tickets to give out for contests, so do other HAC stations but they do play WWFM, even though it's not what I requested --- TSP. |
