My Thoughts on Thomas Gibson’s Firing

  Today I have been trying to understand my visceral reaction to the firing of Thomas Gibson from Criminal Minds, and I’ve come to several realizations which I will explain in a moment. I have grown up in and around Los Angeles California all my life. I have seen movie and television sets and had the occasional encounter with celebrity over the years. When I was in my twenties I worked at a temp…

Let’s show JoJo our love and support by tweeting a special keyword into the Twitter trending topic.

WHEN

Saturday, 30th July, 7am PDT

NB: Please check the corresponding date/time for your time zone in the post below!

HOW

1. 1. Start spreading the news! The more people involved, the higher the chance of a trend! Let others know by linking to our Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook pages or sharing the flyer posted! Share the special keyword on all of your social media pages once we reveal it on trending day!

2. Return for the special keyword. We will reveal the official keyword on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram at exactly 6:30am PDT on Saturday, 30th July (30 mins before trending time).

3. Tweet using the special keyword starting at exactly 7am PDT (not a minute earlier). We will lose our momentum if we start using the keyword too early, so it is VERY important that we are all using it within the same time frame in order to successfully trend!

IMPORTANT STUFF

Please do not tweet the special keyword before 7am PDT on trending day.

Tweet the special keyword exactly as it is revealed i.e. if there is no # in front of the keyword, then please do not include a #. Copy the word onto your clipboard (highlight word, press Ctrl+C or ⌘ +C) so it’s easy to paste into your tweets.

Please do not include more than one # in a single tweet. (Twitter will consider your tweet as spam and ignore it!)

Always tweet something together with the special keyword. Tweeting the keyword alone will not count towards the trend.

Make your tweet(s) relevant. Talk about JoJo - e.g. your favourite song/album, the memories you have with the/those song(s)/album(s) and/or ways her music has inspired, helped or encouraged you. You can also add JoJo’s twitter handle and links to her music, interviews, photos or videos. Don’t forget to make your tweets as positive and supportive as possible! :)

Retweets DO NOT count!

Volume counts, but variety counts more! The more people tweeting, the better.

Spread the news about this trending hour EVERYWHERE you possibly can! We need as many people involved as possible in order to successfully achieve a twitter trending topic.
