NG3 TWEETS

I'm not one of the tweeters this year.

invited @triciafromphilly and @kerri - not sure who else is tweeting. (not sure if Kerri is either - are you Kerri?)

Thanks! @justin2 and Miles from Boston are also tweeting from @NatGat2014. I don't think Miles is on Loomio

ah - is that the Miles Wilkerson I see on the facebook groups? glad you are getting some help, Tricia.

Yes, Miles is doing follow Friday #FF
and thanks for retweets @justin2 is a wizard

I'm not participating on the titan pads as they are not inclusive or transparent in their design. It's the platform not the info, sorry.

I'm a bigger fan of pirate pads- no need for logins.

I'll take a look at the Titian Pads.. I've been doing a social media survey of NatGat trying to see how the public can find us.. Quite a mess. Everything directs you in dif directions..

Best tactic is to use social media like spokes on a wagon wheel that all draw eyes to main web asset.

In our case www.natgat2014.net

Here's what the basic foot print of NatGat looks like online:
https://piratenpad.de/p/OccupyNatGat

recreating the wheel again, are we? looks like basically the same list of links i've been posting around. mess just got bigger again. and fyi, i'm not a web page person. i have never been to the www.natgat2014.net page What's a stirring committee? and do those people want to help with the already ongoing outreach working group? i see no need for 2 groups unless you can delineate tasks a little better.

oh, and the orig question (sorry got distracted again by all the OT stuffs) I have the PW but have never tweeted yet, b/c honestly every time i go look at the feed it seems well covered. i'm not a "touchy-feely retweet and respond to everything" kinda girl though. better left to those that find that kind of thing valuable.

cannot emphasize enough:

YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOG-IN TO TITAN PAD
or even need to have an account to view or edit.

I like pirate better too for colors, but the titan accounts allow for keeping all docs under one umbrella - good for us and good for next year's planners. there is a system there - every wg has a main pad that they can house any number of docs on.

noone needs to remember every pad number or name - only the ones you personally work with.
for the bigger list, go to Table of Contents http://natgat2014.titanpad.com/46
there's even a copy with a name so folks don't need to remember the number for the TOC
http://natgat2014.titanpad.com/table-of-contents

I do agree with Justin that all media should direct folks back to the Hub (or website if/when we have it) where this info is:

Find us:
Contact: [email protected]
NATGAT2014 Hub
Twitter @NATGAT2014 #Natgat2014
ONG Rebelmouse
Occupy National Gathering Facebook Page

Plug into Planning and Organizing:
Attend our Planning and Working Group Calls
Join Working Group Mailing Lists
Volunteer/Offer an Activty
Loomio – ONG Organizing Group
ONG 2014 Group on Commons
NatGat3 Facebook Planning Group
(of course hotlinked there)

this is where schedule and other impt tie-it-all-together info will be posted in the future.

p.s. sorry to go off topic but really thought it important to clarify about titan pads
pp..s. there is even a TOC for NON-Titan docs
Table of Contents - NON-TITAN
http://natgat2014.titanpad.com/51,
so if we must use other platforms, please add there so folks can find them.

who's tweeting from here?
https://twitter.com/OccupyCaravan1

It would be great if description could be updated, something like:
@OccupyCaravan3
In 2012, the Caravan launched from 3 west coast cities to bring Occupy's voice to scores of towns across the USA...and was a wild success. Thank you all.
In 2014, we're headed to Sacramento CA!
(maybe use hub? http://interoccupy.net/natgat2014/)

I can have any one of them up within days (hours) with a basic wordpress or some other basic or pre-manufactured code.

let's just make a tumblr? funds should go into essential items like food, shelter & medical supplies..

@justin2, What is a tumblr? You mention funds, is that a fund-raising page? We have an AfGJ page linked on our Web site; the items you mention are
@jackie I was going to make the same Titan Pad comment that you did, but I seem to remember I HAVE seen some Titan pads saying that you must have an account; I know that they can be made either private or public. I wish there were an easier way to check on that then by going to each one individually.

@sallyg - there are a very few private pads and those DO need a pw - they are tech codes, and/or if a pad is being developed for a new group or purpose, it might stay private until developed. I think there are literally only 2, maybe 3 private pads out of 67 or so.
OR - someone creates a pad and forgets to click public (they are created private due to it being an account (natgat2014) in which case someone should give a heads up.

@justin2 Why tumblr? isn't that blog/pic site?

and yes, donations to the general fund, i.e.
https://org2.salsalabs.com/o/7315/donate_page/occupy-national-gathering
are for necessities such as food, sanitation, supplies, shelter.

The stand alone website looks like it is not going to happen. I think tumblr is a good idea, easy to set up and can collect the pictures and videos and crowdsourced graphics. We can use it to stream and collect the events and blog them out as they are happening. Here's how to videos 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmM1aQrXYEU 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjrZEqz3LiU

how does tumblr compare to rebelmouse? I know we have a page there.

Rebel Mouse is a Twitter & FB Marketing Promo Tool- it takes posts from various platforms & presents them in an easy to read format-

Great to build a network because it has automation where it tweets out top users via twitter often earning a RT or mention of the rebel mouse.

it's not a webpage to post original content to. used most often to present Twitter Content in a form non-Twitter users can engage with.

We should also set up a paper.li account as well- It's what Rebel Mouse is modeled after- Same idea but geared for a slightly more mature, conservative visual branding. Think Symphony (paper.li) VS Rock Opera Band with a DJ (Rebel Mouse).

Tumblr is a blog platform like WordPress but fer brands, artists, hipsters & 4Chan graduates.

We should use all three.

@triciafromphilly

Do you have a contact for Scotty “One Love” Wells from LA who tweets from Occupy Caravan?
https://twitter.com/OccupyCaravan1

It would be great if we could get some coordination with him and use this twitter for the current caravan, get an updated description.

Someone created a paper.li account for natgat - I only know this from admining the email account. ([email protected])
I asked other admins; no response. I'm glad to find this is a legit, recommended aggregate source, but we should know who created and who is admining.

Also should this get listed to our long list of sites on our Find Us section?

I think it might have been one of those widgets that was accepted through the gmail account. There were a bunch of them. I cleaned it out and hopefully they'll stop sending

I don't understand widgets or why/how they are accepted in an email account. Can you clarify further?

Also what exactly did you clean out? how - no comprende.

An app not a widget Under settings i clicked off "Apps & activities
Manage your apps and Activity Log, including who can see your Google and third-party activities.

Actually I made the connection but got distracted by the dramaz- and forgot about it. my bad. solid platform. i use for all my clients.. helps with #SEO in search engines as well.
