New #Twitter 'Read Article' Prompt Test Now Underway -- #Xanjero

Twitter is currently experimenting with a new ‘read article’ alert, intended to persuade users to actually read things before sharing them with others…

Although social media serves as a way to stay informed, there is such thing as too much information. Feeds are practically endless, with new content being added minute after minute. So, it’s not really possible to digest all of it. That results in…

Completed Vindicare Assassin And so we’re all done, exactly 336 hours after setting up this account and posting the first entry. I’ve managed to get 94 followers at the time of writing, which is a not a bad effort in two weeks and that my goal was 100. But 94% complete is not bad at all. I’ll be writing up my findings at a later date because its taught me a lot about Twitter and what its like to…

Growth Graph Now we’re within 24 hours of our deadline for this social media challenge and we’re 90% complete on our goal of 100 followers in two weeks! I have managed to get in some decent paint sessions and completed my model, but new followers have definitely dropped off.

So I saved some photos for this morning and posted those around 9AM, this…

Vindicare Digital Camo Done Just a quick post this, its only been one evening, a night and a morning since my last post and we’re up by ten followers. I am not really sure how, but we’re growing without posting images or really tweeting much. It looks like I am on track for hitting the 100 followers in a week target – which feels pretty good. But the last 44 won’t come easy. (more…)

Vindicare Camp Coming Together Nicely OK people, things have started to heat up. I am starting to feel very odd about this now though. As I am interacting with more people now. The odd Tweet here and there, but its picking up the followers. It seems that people do not respond to just being Followed, ReTweeted or Favourited. Real interactions with mentions seems to be the way forward. I…

Digital Camo Vindicare Right we’re into some painting progress now with 3 ReTweets and 5 Favourites. Followers are up and interactions are up too. The going is slow it seems though, I need to refine what I am doing. I have updated my profile image and my banner to a new version of the mini.
