I don't twitter or tweet or whatever you call it! Don't want to as a general thing but could I sign up and cancel again as soon as I've done this?
that'll be cool! thx for helping out <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
This is a great idea everyone, but could someone explain to me exactly how you make this a "trending topic" on twitter? I only use twitter from my computer, as I don't have a cell phone, and I'm not quite sure how to do this "trending topic" thing. Sorry if I sound stupid, just not sure how to do this, so if you could help me, I am definitely in! Thanks guys!!
all u have to do is just to tweet #ElvisandMJdotcom , as many times as you can, on June 25th 12.21pm LA time. a trending topic will appear on the trending list at the right side of the twitter page when it becomes one of the most tweeted topics at any particular time. Essentially, a trending topic goes by count, which is why we need many people and many tweets about that topic. hope it helped <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
Thanks Jukebox...I will be sure to tweet that on Friday. God Bless you and have a great day! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
#ripmj is trending in the US, but not worldwide, and at the moment has 2,834 people who've tweeted the hashtag.

#wemissmj has over 1,000 individuals who've tweeted the hashtag and it's not trending at all.

Trending Topics only happen when there's a large volume of people (thousands) tweeting at the same time. A hundred (100) people isn't going to cut it, not even close. Realistically-speaking, you can't organize these twitterthons within 5 days. The Justice4MJ facebook groups, which have thousands of members, plan these things a month in advance and they're not always successful (from what I've seen, their failure is due to their timing; they change it around). I guess what I'm trying to say is, this needs to be better organized and we need to recruit a lot more people.
edit: Here's a video the mj4justice group made regarding TT's [youtube:15su08iw]
Update #1: #ripmj jumped to over 4000 people tweeting and is still only trending in the US as opposed to Worldwide. =
Update #2: #ripmj is a worldwide trend (6th place TT; 3rd place hashtag) right now at around 6,000 contributors. That means we need somewhere between 4,000-6,000 people to get a TT.
Update#3: Nvm, looking at the hashtag currently in first place, it has 2,800 contributors but they're tweeting at a higher frequency. So like I first mentioned, we need thousands of people tweeting at the same time and apparently our tweets shouldn't have more than a couple of seconds separating them (not on an individual basis, but the group as a whole).
Yet, the 2nd place TT hashtag has around 5700 contributors (having lots of people doesn't hurt either).
Question: Does this forum have a facebook group? I think it's essential for efficiently executing events like these. On FB event pages, members can signify whether: (1) they will participate (2) they might participate or (3) they're not participating at all. That number updates immediately and you can change your status at any moment (just in case you thought you could participate, but turns out you cannot - or visa versa). That way, we can gauge whether or not we have enough people.
