Team Haley - Twitter Trend Promotion for "Oh My"

[Miguel]

I tweeted a lot of variations but was suspended. It was a brand new account and a computer program probably looks at that versus the activity level.

Every day you'll see several "people" tweeting Haley congratulations on being signed. I believe these are spam accounts pulling old posts from a database to season the accounts.

I tried to contact Twitter and tell them to look for that tell-tale sign but it fell on deaf ears apparently.

Would they be called Spambots?

Thanks for the info so far.

So, I don't need to Tweet at someone.. I can just Tweet away even if i don't have any followers ?

Tweeting to myself helps trends?

Also, is it considered rude to tweet @celebretyX little not terribly important things like . This song was so good at a b-b-q tonight or do you only use the @ if you think it's something they'd want to hear ?

Or, do they only see stuff if they're following you so you can use @celebretyX all you want without wasting celebretyX's time?

Probably, I personally refer to this incarnation as trendbots because they pick up on trends and repeat them but add their own expressions and a link they want people to promote. So be wary if you're ever checking out tweets from a trend and see a link.

Yes.

Yes. Trends are supposed to represent what the twitterverse is talking about at the moment. So the more people that are using a phrase or a hashtag the more likely it is to trend.

You can tweet whatever you like. Most tweets are of little substance. Only tweets that strike a chord or contain new information are likely to be retweeted.

If you tweet @HaleyReinhart anyone searching for HaleyReinhart will see the tweet. If you have followers, whatever you tweet will show up on their feed. A big reason some people establish "trend" accounts is to avoid cluttering up their followers' feeds with repetitive tweets.

do they only see stuff if they're following you so you can use @celebretyX all you want without wasting celebretyX's time?

Yes. No. Celebrities can search their own name to see what people are saying. When people suspect a celebrity may doing that they'll say they're "creeping" their tweets.

There is Much more to twitter than just a social network.
