Darklord Rooke Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Quick question. How are you differentiating what goes on Twitter, to what goes on FB, to what goes on the blog? Just so there isn't lots of redundancy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I'd imagine short news and new post announcements would go on Twitter, as well as some other interesting stuff. Facebook goes for both somewhat logner stuff and either links to blog posts or summations of them and w/e. Likely can crosspost most facebook things on the main blog if I'm slow. Obviously this requires some judgement on the part of anyone involved, but this is probably more an art than a science. I wouldn't worry too much about it. One idea is for whoever handles the fuwatwitter to watch the #fuwanovel hashtag and RT anything useful. In general though, redundancy isn't that bad of a thing - people aren't going to be watching all the feeds at once in some (many?) cases.

Heizei_koukousei Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 how does one twitter? You tweet and follow... That's basically it. Just different names for the same stuff on all social networking sites And I will be following the twitter from the shadows Watching, and waiting for posts to retweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Not used to twitter (or the site, for that matter), but expanding one's social networks can't be bad. If the words of a newcomer count, my best wishes for the twitter account. Heizei_koukousei 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will actually like your posts and we even have community fellowship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidbatman Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Quick question. How are you differentiating what goes on Twitter, to what goes on FB, to what goes on the blog? Just so there isn't lots of redundancy... Both the Facebook and Blog will eventually auto-tweet articles and posts. The twitter will also re-tweet various news and generally just engage with followrs. Redundancy is exactly what it will be, which is the point of social media outreach.

solidbatman Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 BTW: Anyone who wants access to the Twitter account needs to PM me. I'm only selecting a few people, and only those who can prove that they know where and how to go about finding news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalRen Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So long as the account contains the glory that is #mephstream:https://twitter.com/search?q=%23mephstream&src=hash&f=realtime On a more serious note, I recommend using Hootsuite for all your social media needs. Fantastic site I used to use for my old MMO guild when I was younger:https://hootsuite.com/?icn=primtopnav&ici=Logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 And it's alive! Currently just using another browser for fuwatweeting. May contain spamminess, but should be ok when not RTing con annoucement backlogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidbatman Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Now that it is up and running, we need the old twitter removed from the front page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yeah, Are you automatically retweeting ? I don't really know how twitter works but messages like "26th" are not particularily relevant ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It was the date of an apparent MG podcast. In retrospect, I should probably have summaried it in a tweet instead of doing 4 RTs. Hey, we all make mistakes w Anyway comments about spamminess are welcome, I try to keep a balance in general but this kind of thing is always a bit hard to judge, especially since I follow some /real/ spamtweeters.

Nayleen Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Can you guys give me the/a widget ID, or even better the entire snippet Twitter's likely to provide?

Nayleen Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Checkmate is in the middle of migrating servers for his sites, which Fuwanovel is hosted on as well, and has been for quite some time. Nothing changes apart from the server the site's hosted on, and afterwards I'll finally be able to make (or rather push) changes again.

Kenshin_sama Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 *Sigh* I still don't "get" social media, and I don't think I ever will either Twitter's great for learning tidbits of information like TL progress, product releases, etc. Blogs are great for articles. And Facebook is... good for popularity! Not sure why a lot of people prefer FB for information and stuff when blogs are much better formatted for it. One of life's greatest mysteries I suppose. Kind of a shame that social networking had to pull Google away from supporting their RSS reader. >.< http://www.pcworld.com/article/2030781/google-reader-is-dead.html Not too much of a hassle since external readers are a little more convenient for me, but still. But more on Fuwanovel: I follow both the blog and twitter for information. I have seen the blog repeat information that was posted on Twitter, but you still get the information faster. Blog posts are good for bulk information that's too lengthy for Twitter (there's a 140 character limit on tweets). And I guess it just feels better when a blog entry can't be read in less than 30 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nayleen Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 And most changes discussed with Taylor are already implemented. The site looks really barren in some places now though, since the side bar doesn't serve any purpose in 2/3 pages. Time to come up with some ideas and design changes.

Lewycool Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 You're gonna need to get bigger than the old Fuwanovel. I guess the 0 doesn't really help xD Anyway, hope this goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
