It's Time To Tweet: Twitter Ring Guidelines

[cMaille]

Oh — I'm not here in any official capacity, this decision has to be made by lovely7designs or someone else in charge! I was just making a note of it, and a suggestion. I really have say whatsoever....

#HAFring ? Or is that advertising the covert operations of the ring?

Looks like there's no one else using that tag. Sounds good to me.

Edit - I went ahead and tweeted mine using #HAFring today.

If you google HAF you come up with a whole bunch of crap. The way I look at is just like our personal site we use MBOI but there is some person in Africa and some aids thing. So be it I'm not changing MBOI because that is who we are.

Same thing with HAF we used HAF because it was a logical shortening for our site. But there are a ton of other sites or companies that use that as well. I don't know if your going to be able to get away from it. My thoughts are that the larger we become over time and the more we use the #HAF tag the more relevant it will be.

The tag #ETSY was meaningless 6 years ago or so. Now it has meaning.
I think you can say that about any tag.
Regardless those are my feelings. I'm going to continue to use the tags I've been using #HAF #HAFteam #HAFshop #HAFguild
Like I said keep using them and they will override the others.
My 2 cents

Andrew, I agree. I surely didn't mean to start anything, and feel badly now I said anything it all. It mostly struck me as funny to see those tweets mixed in and the one in particular that I listed the link to. I didn't think that it would cause any movement to change. It doesn't bother me. My "sadly" was a turn-of-phrase.

You have absolutely no reason to feel bad at all, I'm glad you pointed it out. I really do respect your opinion.

It's funny because I'm not really good at giving my opinions. My wife refers to me as a bull in a china closet. I steam in, say my peace and move on. I really need to continue to improve the way I say things.

The good thing about it though is that, everyone knows exactly where the stand with me. I pull no punches and waste no words, it has been good and bad for me in my life.

So please don't feel bad I just don't know how to go to that level. My wife is the opposite in that respect. She can be crying her eyes our at a funeral and walk into a wedding and smile in the blink of an eye.
My feelings stay right on my skin and tact is not my strong suite.

Your first response was fine... I just felt concerned that anyone took my comment as a wish to do something. I'm a "newbie" here. Didn't want any toes to feel stepped on. Was just pointing out something amusing. Well, amusing to me, anyway.

Thanks, Andrew.

We'll win out on the hash tag thing, plus anything longer starts to look like sponsored spam, and just takes up too many characters.

First week has been great. I haven't seen a boost in visits, but there are definitely new Twitter followers. Once we get some steam behind this I think it will do really well.

My only negative comment would be a few people are tweeting every day. Love the enthusiasm, but once is probably enough - I start feeling a little bombarded when I see the same tweet repeated over and over, and god knows, your followers will quickly start ignoring your links.

Thanks for an awesome first week, and best of luck to next week's people!

I'm a newbie myself, so I don't know who gets to make what decisions. Sorry if I stepped on any toes myself. I'll continute to use #HAF, obviously.

I have noticed the other random things that the #HAF hashtag search returned, but thought it was the best option for the promotion.  I agree, if we keep using it, we have a good chance of drowning the others out.

OK, I just set a bunch of tweets with the old tag, I'll switch for the next batch.  Sorry, time severely limited at the moment!

hi! I'm a little slow on this one (okay, a lot slow), but I'd love to join in.
