I'm new to ChuckMeMonday and Twitter but ...Hi. I'm new to ChuckMeMonday and Twitter but would like to submit my thoughts.<br /><br />With the growth in Twitter use and continuing refinement of their trending algorithm it is probably no longer possible for a couple of hundred people to trend as was possible a few months ago.Now it seems to take a thousand or more people to trend. I assume that 200 people doing 40 tweets each has less trending power than 2000 people doing 3 tweets each.<br /><br />I doubt that any choice of #word, word, or phrase will allow us to spam our way into the trend list. Rather, we should work on developing a tag that promotes user fun with participating in ChuckMeMonday as well as making it easy for non-ChuckMeMonday Twitter friends to see the complete list of our tweets.<br /><br />The hash (#) was developed as a tag to signify a word as metadata. This is used to group related tweets together for searching. Twitter helps with this by converting the hash tag words in a tweet to URLs that submit the hashed word to the Twitter search engine. Last Monday I used a search for #ChuckMeMonday to view the complete list of tweets in real time.<br /><br />For the above reasons I prefer option 2. This keeps the tag simple without consuming precious characters thus allowing for more complete tweets. Additional search phrases such as “Chuck Me Out” only makes the tweet look odd. Also adding the hashed word makes it easy for casual readers to see the complete list of tweets and hopefully seek more information on Chuck.lenmascarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619638443828574770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-38246478486243166282009-08-12T19:40:29.021-04:002009-08-12T19:40:29.021-04:00We seem to have a pretty good consensus here.

So a sample tweet would be "Watching #chuck vs the Crown Vic on Chuck Me Monday, thanks @nbc chuckmeout.com" for your first tweet: consistent and increases trending. And then you can just tweet normally afterward, like "Chuck Me Monday: Casey's Vic takes one for the team - bummer but LOL" or whatever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184693433532590573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-38779633169793415702009-08-12T11:20:29.795-04:002009-08-12T11:20:29.795-04:00I'm in the UK and whilst I do find it incredib...I'm in the UK and whilst I do find it incredibly irritating that a lot of the chuckmeout.com content isn't available to me I still think the best campaign would be to direct people to that site because of the NBC connection. <br /><br />It's also worth pointing out that Season 2 is still airing on Virgin 1 in the UK, and maybe this is another reason why the shows can't be streamed online in the UK. I don't know about the rest of Europe or when it aired/is airing there.<br /><br />There is a forum on chuckmeout.com - why not set up a petition on the forum to have the restrictions removed so that we can all see all of the content? Maybe they wouldn't take notice, but you never know.@KatyH100http://www.twitter.com/KatyH100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-52623935467720736162009-08-12T08:24:06.514-04:002009-08-12T08:24:06.514-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Razorbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377660997495990065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-24795354940309272992009-08-12T08:22:10.321-04:002009-08-12T08:22:10.321-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.SerendipityWAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783219985334859667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-78765447886840327182009-08-12T06:20:39.555-04:002009-08-12T06:20:39.555-04:00I have no issue with piggybacking on Chuck Norris....I have no issue with piggybacking on Chuck Norris.

Thank you.<br /><br />I completely understand and support the need for American viewers. But in the near long-term we will also need the $$ from international distribution rights. There is no choice given the world economy. Corporations and advertisers will demand it. So as to avoid having to beg for a 4th or 5th season, we need a two-prong approach now. NBC can help in this by releasing cast and crew video content, etc. After all, they allowed access to the ComicCon video. As I said, we're using a global tool and likely losing global viewers because of this restriction. It definitely feels like I'm spinning my wheels for nothing when I can't say to my friends "Hey, go to www.chuckmeout.com and check out this terrific show". Selling the show through non-tradtional viewing methods will not make NBC/WB $$$.<br /><br />I'm cool with losing this debate, because, honestly, I'm willing to fork over $5 - $10 of my own money per episode of Chuck. The show is 95% better than what's on Movie/TV screens these days and it's a lot less work than trying to bring in new viewers, lol. <br /><br />As it appears that chuckmeout will be the Twitter hash for next week, I'd like to support Rachel's viewpoints of chuckmeout.com, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-37377007216779260132009-08-11T17:09:36.627-04:002009-08-11T17:09:36.627-04:00Anonymous, I wish you would at least punch in a na...Anonymous, I wish you would at least punch in a name so I could address you by it. :) But, we are trying to drive a lot of people to the site, but the ones the site needs the most, to generate all that revenue, is Americans. It is just a fact of the business. But, EVERY fan of the show can help us do that. <br /><br />The 400,000 streams that NBC has received from CHUCK fans, has likely generated over $25,000 in revenue. That might not seem like a lot, but in 3 weeks, we have paid for like 1 minute of an episode! We might be able to pay NBC's cost for a couple of episodes in a few months just from driving traffic over to them.Razorbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377660997495990065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650881006188776870.post-65578660726783689382009-08-11T16:58:21.223-04:002009-08-11T16:58:21.223-04:00Mel I'm pretty sure it's not the distribut...Mel I'm pretty sure it's not the distribution laws but the distribution contracts that prohibit video content. I'm down with that. But cast and crew video? Also, when I click on a trending topic on Twitter I'm only there long enough to gain an idea of the subject before I Google the site for more information. Our passionate, fun, twisted, etc. tweets are enough to get them to the site. If they can't access any content, what's to see the sale through to completion?<br /><br />I honestly don't mean to sound contrary, and I don't have a marketing degree, and I will definitely continue to support the ongoing fan campaigns, but I DO want NBC, WB, etc. to make money.

The problem is that it is not just NBC's choice to restrict the content. WB owns all the CHUCK content and NBC pays licensing fees to use it. However, due to different union contracts, local laws, advertisement contracts and international copyright laws, most television network sites restrict content to the US.<br /><br />But you should look at the big picture. Sure, not being able to see all that content (at least through traditional means) is upsetting, but supporting the site despite that has the best chance to assist us all in keeping the show around for a long time.
