#Fringe Twitter Event: Answers are Coming – February 24, 2012

This week’s upcoming Fringe episode is going to be a doozie. Now, I know that I say that about every upcoming episode, but I have proof to back me up. The “Answers Are Coming” extended promotional trailer edited by Ari Margolis backs up this claim.

No share or id values provided for youtube shortcode.

First, we’re going to learn about the Observers. Second, it seems that Olivia is going to learn about Ability all over again. But there is another message from this mother-of-all teasers. A message familiar to those of us that are used to Crossing the Line:

How Far Would You Go For Love?

Yesterday, Fringenuity turned to other fans and asked our Twitter followers for their hashtag suggestions for this week. We received many great ideas, some of which may be good for the future. However, we all agreed upon this gem submitted by @greyandsmart:

The hashtag for the event is #LoveIsTheAnswer

We’ve long felt that Fringe is a Love Story. And this tag is sure to catch attention.

TWITTER EVENT PROTOCOL

First: The event will take place 1 hour before Fringe airs – 8pm EST.

Second:We are asking that Fringe fans try and make their first tweet of the night a thank you to sponsor @NissanLeaf. An example:

Thanks @NissanLeaf for sponsoring Fringe! LEAF #LoveIsTheAnswer for the environment.

Third: Try to construct a list of thoughtful and informative tweets before the event. These can be copied and pasted for easy tweets. Use some witty Fringe sayings, link some of the official promo videos, list your ways for someone to be a better man —- be creative! Cool tweets are more likely to earn re-tweets, and this immensely helps trending. If you add “Please RT” at the end of a tweet, many people will do it!

Fourth: Tell everyone Fringie about the event. There is strength in numbers – remember that the more unique tweeters we have, the more likely we are to trend, and for a longer duration of time.

Fifth: Send your tweets out fast but remember to pace yourself. We know we can hit worldwide trending now so sustained tweeting matters too. Trending can be a distraction but we need you to keep those wonderful tweets coming.

Ok, so do you agents have that down? Good. Here is the regular protocol to follow:

1) Don’t use #LoveIsTheAnswer before the designated time: 1 HOUR before Fringe airs.

2) One # term per Tweet.

3) Lots of people tweeting matters more than the number of tweets.

4) Those with lots of followers help out a lot!

5) We want to pique the interest of non-Fringe fans.

6) We can discuss aspects of the show in our tweets -TRY to include the word FRINGE (with no #) in your tweet if possible.

7) Private accounts must have their locked status removed, as the tweets from these accounts do not count toward the trend tally.

8) Retweets are the easiest way to help out the trending effort. Just search for the hashtag, and retweet the ones that are interesting to you. If you know how to use a Twitter application suite like TweetDeck or HootSuite, this is made even easier.

Of equal importance is the second phase of the social media plan, using @Getglue to promote Fringe and the show’s advertisers.
