#digg it, continued: more Twitter/digg experimental results
The great thing about the #digg it experiment (trying to use Twitter to increase visibility for progressives, feminists, and women of color on Digg), is that it’s so easy to explain to people*: if you’ve got a story you’re trying to promote on Digg, include the #digg hashtag when you tweet it, and at least…

#p2: statistics, with a gender perspective
I wanted to expand on my remark in yesterday’s post about the gender ratio on #p2 staying “relatively well-balanced” with some statistics from the 24 hours ending at noon (Pacific time) today. While this is only one data point — and over a weekend, too — it’s roughly in line with the other measurements I’ve…

#p2 Twitterchat Monday (2/23), 6:30 PM Pacific/9:30 PM Eastern. Tentative agenda here. Feedback, please … and hope to see you then!

Dealing with trolls on Twitter: #p2, #tcot, #topprog, #bipart, and a magic search query
One of the challanges with using Twitter for activism is one that’s all too familiar to anybody who’s spent time online: dealing with trolls and other disruptions.*Â Twitter hashtags are completely open, so anybody can post on them, which means we frequently see tweets like: I should also state that some sissy liberal might find…

Scenarios for #topprog: your thoughts?
Last night’s #topprog Tweetup, discussing the next steps for the new progressive Twitter hashtag, had some excellent discussions.  Chris Cardinal (aka @cacardinal) has set up a skeleton web page on topprog.org and did a great job facilitating the tweetup; he’ll be writing up a summary later today.  Somehow, though, I wound up with an…

#topprog … yeah, that could work
It still bugs me that Steve Elliot’s Get FISA Right: Last Chance To Vote Against Domestic Spying was buried by pro-surveillance diggers after I foolishly twittered it to the #tcot (Top Conservatives on Twitter) channel. So when I got Alan Rosenblatt’s email about a new #topprog hashtag, my immediate response was that we should think…
