2nd Project

Compared to my last project, this turned out to be difficult. Creating the twitter account and actually tweeting was the easy part. However, trying to become relevant on twitter was not. I created forty posters and posted them up Friday and Saturday night. Hoping for some response, there was nothing granted my some posters were still up this time! I decided my approach needed to change if no one was going to tweet me then I would have to reach out to them. I posted on my Facebook and twitter asking for people to help me out on this project.

Here is where it started to get interesting, people had no idea what to say. The whole point of twitter is to say whatever, whenever but when directly being asked to tweet people were hesitant. One friend even tweeted me on my private account saying she did not know what to say. This entirely jus baffled me! Referring back to my first project, people actually wrote on the iPhone posters knowing people would see them. In this case, whatever people tweeted they knew others would see and potentially be judged. Not knowing who wrote what in my first project gave people a greater incentive to act whereas merely asking people, they became nervous.
