One suggestion re: Twitter use of this:
make sure you include some of the authors’ Twitter handles when you forward, even if you have to forward it out 2-3 times.
IMHO, people are more likely to re-Tweet/fwd, etc.,.. when their address is in something.
I wouldn’t bother with including Drudge’s: he doesn’t care.
BUT, anyone who is 1000+ on Followers, looks like they Tweet actual content (vs. invalid rumor stuff), AND from their history it looks like they’re likely to re-tweet, would all be decent candidates.
Again, just a suggestion.
One more item: I’d strongly urge you to get yourself on #TGDN. A very solid way for you to rapidly increase your readership, while simultaneously picking up leads on sources for your paper.
Check out Cosmo’s article here: http://cosmoscon.com/2013/01/08/why-i-support-tgdn/
BTW: I assume the system has to be somewhat user-friendly, if you pounded that out in less than 24 hours?
D , I’m not sure of all that you are referring to about including Twitter handles and such . As far as user friendliness , it couldn’t be easier , the link I sent you was for the SECOND edition . You press start paper , fill in pertinent info , add source links ie , Twitter Feed , Facebook Page , Website URL and press publish . I had the first edition up within 10 minutes of logging in to paper.li
Take a peek at your Twitter. I linked you & Loopyloo in the Tweet…
That’s what I was saying. If you link folks who have Twitter, they’re more likely to fwd it to their Followers, since it “features” them.
Same with FB, etc.,..
Something to think about as you put it together during the day.
And just remember:
when you become “Ruler of all you Survey”, I want a job………

How do I join #TGDN ?
10 minutes???
THAT is pretty sweet.
I’ll Tweet it out momentarily and show you what I mean.
As far as #TGDN or Twitter in general, just call me.
Nice job, brudda!
It is ridiculously simple . Even a neanderthal contractor like myself can do it . Thanks to you D
