Cool experiment. I'll look out for the results.

I read the article on Twitter trending, and it seems it's down to how much increase in use a hashtag gets.

I've just looked up #esports on Twitter and found about 22 in the last hour. If #esports is something which gets steady use, it might be worth considering a different tag.


JP said he doesn't want a steady use for #ESPORTS, this is a test to see if we could do other things in the future.



That's kind of my point - #esports already has a steady use, and according to the article, you're more likely to get something trending if there's a sudden increase in a tag which doesn't usually get a lot of use.

Something "trending" on twitter would give me negative, not positive, associations.

Instead of spending the time registering and signing up for twitter, figuring out what to do, and broadcasting your pointless 140 character "tweet" out to the world that no-one will even read because you have no followers (partly because you're a new member, partly because no-one cares what you say), why not spend that time doing something USEFUL for e-sports like telling a new person about why the game is so great. Or hell, just go play a game of starcraft. There's no need to artificially inflate the pointless social media chirruping - just go and help grow ESPORTS! The social shit that inevitably and unavoidably surrounds everything nowadays will grow appropriately of its own accord anyway.


EDIT: I fear I am turning into a grumpy old man

The funny thing about social media is, it is what your friends are. If you follow interesting people/have interesting friends, it's awesome. If you follow idiots/have idiotic friends, it's idiotic. Perhaps you should examine yourself before you bash social media.

Actually I just speak to and meet up with people that I consider to be my friends. You know, in real life. It is possible to dislike facebook/twitter for reasons other than all your friends being uninteresting idiots.

I personally don't use such things anymore myself.

Anyway, considering it takes as little as 1,000 tweets to do such a thing. It really isn't that hard. You could practically have anything trending worldwide and there really is no limit.

Why stop at #Esports? Flood it with everything if you are going to do that. ._.

Plan;

Make a sentence 10 words long about esports. Get the community to tweet the first word, then 10 seconds later the 2nd and so on. Set it up so we get a sentence on the trends list! :D

Twitter might seem important to you professionals in the "scene," but to Joe Schmoe Twitter is a worthless website. I don't see the point.

Looking forward to SOTG, though!
