A Simple Proposal On Making #OneDayMV a Twitter TT

OK, so we’ve tried to topple down those Trending Topic giants like #SharkWeek and #dearyoungself for two days in a row but we’ve come back home empty-handed. Our #OneDayMV battlecry didn’t really resound enough to crack their strong defenses and to scare them off and so we’re left here wond’rin' how to pull them down.

But don’t we dare lose hope. We are the Chasters, the stalwarts of Charice fandom! We won’t retire from the challenge to secure ground for #OneDayMV. We continue to march forward and let out a fiercer battlecry that will reverberate and tear down the Jericho-wall of those TT strongholds.

Beneath every battle lost lies the opportunity of learning to secure victory. We can look back, scrutinize and identify what went wrong despite the massive and united response to the CALL. Right after realizing we’re going in circles inspite of our tweeting frenzy, out of desperation, I tried to look for references in the net where we can pick some points to help us strategize and maneuver all our train of tweets into massive trending topic huge enough to stir craze among Twitter Heads and put our #OneDayMV at the top of Trending Topics!

Here are what I've gathered.

References:

(2)http://www.dailybloggr.com/2010/03/how-to-make-a-trending-topic-on-twitter-and-how-not-to/   (Please read)

 These references clearly explained what went wrong during our first two attempts.  I’ll point them out in simplified manner.  Remember, THESE ARE THE DON’Ts!

1. Most of us (ouch! to me the most, LOL, i'm new in twitter) just typed anything with #OneDayMV in it. 
   
E.g., #OneDayMV 1,   #OneDayMV 2,   #OneDayMV Let’s go!


2. Added #OneDayMV in UNRELATED tweet.

E.g., What’s up to all Chasters! #OneDayMV,   brb guys #OneDayMV


3. Flooding the Tweeter Page with anything with #OneDayMV  without any  organized thought just to maximize 250 messages per account  (ouch! to me again) 

(Self-explanatory)


4. Tweeting a trending topic and posting a MISLEADING AND UNRELATED  LINK

E.g., I lost followers today http://who.unfollowed.me #whounfollowedme1 hour agoFavoriteRetweetReply  #OneDayMV

How do we rectify those mistakes at the top we’ve committed?  Please have a look first at these extracts:

“The most important thing is to make sure your Tweets are genuine thoughts or impressions and not attempts to insert yourself into a trend.” (from ref.#1)

“Everyone who clicks on the trending topics should be able to see real people's ideas and links to further relevant information.” (from ref.#1)


Having read the said extracts and references, we can now therefore rectify those problems above. Remember, THESE ARE THE DOs:

1. Don’t just tweet anything with #OneDayMV in it, MAKE your every tweet a  COMPLETE AND   ORGANIZED THOUGHT. You don’t necessarily  construct a complete sentence, just a complete and organized thought.

This will solve problems #1 and #2.

2. Tweets should be DIVERSE and COLLECTIVE. Try to make your tweets agree and flow (COLLECTIVE) with the trending topic.
  
My suggestion to this is (similar suggestions are found on the references as well) all CHASTERS tweeting during the launch should CONVERSE/COMMUNICATE with each  other with #OneDayMV topic rather than just tweeting anything with #OneDayMV.

E.g.,      
magnustoday: yay, really like this #OneDayMV
lancecobi: Charice is so amazing in her dance in #OneDayMV
alias: who’s the diredtor of #OneDayMV?
harold: @alias I think Frodo (LOL) is the director of #OneDayMV
balahura: could sumbody tell me wts goin on with me? Can't get enough of  #OneDayMV
ariana: I can't help you @balahura same thing to me because of  #OneDayMV, lol

And so on…

There is a trending topic there. And that addresses the points raised in the extracts above. as well. Every Chaster looking at his/her timeline should be able to see any comment regarding #OneDayMV where he/she can also comment ACCORDINGLY with #OneDayMV of course.

Let’s be CREATIVE in our discussions while tweeting. Anything that can link our discussions with #OneDayMV will do. Somebody can ask a question or trivia where we can answer or incorporate #OneDayMV.


Sometimes, we may have to tweet with just a plain message WITHOUT #OneDayMV in it AS LONG AS IT WILL INVITE MORE MESSAGES WHERE WE CAN INSERT more #OneDayMV.


3. There is STRENGTH in NUMBERS. We have to PERSUADE MORE CHASTERS to join in this  undertaking for us to stand a chance against the naturally occurring trends we’ll be competing with by the time of our launch. The thing is there are more chances for us to succeed if we have a scenario of 1000 Chasters each tweeting one trend than 100 Chasters tweeting 10 trends each!


The Time Zone Effect


According to the reference, we should launch our plan when there is less competition taking place, less Twitter users around the world in other words. According to that ref, 12MN-6AM PDT has the least number of users so we’re safe at 6PM PHL Time which is ~ 3AM PDT.


Hohum…dunno how to put epilogue to this article now. I’m sleepy…'tis 4:30 AM!

I’ll just leave you guys with this:

Note: My proposal here is based on how I understood the articles. Please feel free to spill your input at the comment section so that we can collate all strategies and launch a massive tweeting frenzy that will catapult #OneDayMV onto the TOP!


For the Love of Our Princess Charice!

To All Chasters Going to Charity Event

Chaketeer
In Behalf of All Chasters Around the World

on the origin of chaketeer, chasters and chaddiction

CHAKETEER, a coined name from CHA-rice and roc-KETEER. No, it doesn't necessarily imply an admiration for the band who sang the said song (though of course I like their song) but it conveys more of a solid-rock admiration and ardor for nothing but CHARICE.

The phenomenon of CHADDICTION runs in my blood for Charice is more than meets the eye! Out of that petite body emanates the power voice that mesmerized the whole world from the Philippines to Sweden to Korea to the US and to the rest of the world. From Ellen DeGeneres to Oprah to David Foster, the Charice Phenomenon blankets the world in a sonic boom and send all YouTube aficionados into watching frenzy. The 'ohs' and the 'ahs', the goosebumps and the standing ovation everywhere speak well of her musical genius Belting out Celine Dion and Whitney Houston as early as 7 years of age is a freak of nature, a once-in-a-lifetime there is to behold. 



Suddenly the Charice Fanatics popped out everywhere. Legions of fans arise from 8 to 88 years in the age spectrum. 


And then spawned the CHASTERS, the most ardent, hyped and die-hard of Charice's fans. They are the fans who can't get enough of Charice (I'm one of them) and so have to make their eyes wide open until early morning to satisfy their unquenchable thirst for anything Charice - videos on Youtube, photos, fan sites, forums, polls, write ups, and the likes. Chasters are the ones that abuse the replay button in Youtube. They delight even in a mere split-second clip of Charice, either she's singing or plainly uttering something. 


All Chasters look the same because their profile pics are all Charice. And they speak new language too! They see Charice hitting high notes and "chamazing" they exclaim! When Charice perfoms with her jaw-dropping dance moves you can definitely hear the crowd roar and it's described as chawsome. And who else can speak the words like chaddict, chapics, chamoves, chadance and all CHAs but Chasters? 


And yeah, not long from now and next thing you know CHActionary might just be sitting in your favorite book store's shelf. 


Charice is more than meets the eye, indeed! She is the epitome of the modern-day youths. The love for her mother and the persistence to fight the adversities of life at a young age are what the world has to teach the youths. Her life story is a perfect battle cry for all the unfortunate and the flat broke. From her emanates hope, passion and zeal to battle this drop-dead rat race we call realities of life.
