NRL.com have Follow the action on twitter - #nswblues

In regards to the announcement of the team at 5pm.

Seems like it is finally getting through...

 

[Charles Bronson]

Climbing up the Harbour Bridge usually does the trick these days.

Apart from that, maybe you could do something like this: @BuzzRothfield you f**king cocksmoking merkin, you're a gigantic dickhead #nrl

Then everyone on your feed and whoever reads the #nrl hashtag will see it. :lol:

Don't start your post with @buzzrothfield. If a post starts with an @ only th person its directed at will see it on their feed, if its moved to later in the post he'll still get it and everyone will see it.

Eg:

How massive a dickhead is @buzzrothfield?

OR

Hey, @buzzrothfield, how bout you eat my arse?

Even putting a full stop before the @ will do it:

.@buzzrothfield shut up. Dickhead.

you guys are gonna have to use crayons when explaining it lol

so I'll make an account, how do I say something about him that everyone will read?

Timmah just realised something else.

I was not counted in any discussions today on the Brisbane trendsmap.com website UNTIL I put my location as Brisbane in MySettings on Twitter.com

Does this mean if you don't have a location your tweets can't count towards a countries trends?

Monday Night Footy
Titans v Manly #nrltitman Live Twitter Stream

Awww... no mantits...

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

Titans should be GCT not tit

 

[Timmah]

Why GCT? Fox refers to them as GLD.

For tomorrow we've already filtered #nrltitman out there. This week we'll look at tags and make appropriate ones for each game.

 

[nko11]

Perhaps we should create a set list. For Example;
Brisbane Broncos: Bris
Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs: Bull
Canberra Raiders: Can
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks: Cron
Gold Coast Titans: GCT
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles: Man
Melbourne Storm: Melb
Newcastle Knights: Kni
New Zealand Warriors: War(r)
North Queensland Cowboys: Cow
Parramatta Eels: Eel
Penrith Panthers: Pen
St George Illawarra Dragons: Redv
South Sydney Rabbitohs: Rab/Sou
Sydney Roosters: Syd
West Tigers: Tig

Just a Quick list, tell me if you want any changing and i'll edit.

 

[Lockyer4President!]

Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs: Dogs
Newcastle Knights: New
New Zealand Warriors: NZW
North Queensland Cowboys: NQ
Parramatta Eels: Parra
St George Illawarra Dragons: Drag
South Sydney Rabbitohs: SSFC

Just the ones I’d change.

 

[Didgi]

IMO, keep it consistent. Make it first 3 letters (or 4) of the location, or the team, but not combinations, makes it easier for the casual fan/those new to twtitter to follow. Not 3 letters of town then 4 letters of mascot or a mix of the two. Set it on one thing.

otherwise:

Brisbane Broncos: Bris
Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs: Bull
Canberra Raiders: Canb
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks: Cron
Gold Coast Titans: GCT
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles: Man
Melbourne Storm: Melb
Newcastle Knights: New
New Zealand Warriors: nzw
North Queensland Cowboys: NQC
Parramatta Eels: Eel
Penrith Panthers: Pen
St George Illawarra Dragons: StGI
South Sydney Rabbitohs: lol@50uff$
Sydney Roosters: Syd
West Tigers: Tigs

Following FOX Sports would be smartest. As such:

BRI - CBR - CBY - CRO - GLD - MAN - MEL - NEW

NQL - PAR - PEN - STI - SOU - SYD - WAR - WST

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

Following FOX Sports would be smartest. As such:

BRI - CBR - CBY - CRO - GLD - MAN - MEL - NEW

NQL - PAR - PEN - STI - SOU - SYD - WAR - WST

I agree with this format.

 

[nko11]

Following FOX Sports would be smartest. As such:

BRI - CBR - CBY - CRO - GLD - MAN - MEL - NEW

NQL - PAR - PEN - STI - SOU - SYD - WAR - WST

Yeah, think i might go with this.

 

[Doomednow]

Sticky topic in the game day subforum with the foxsports tags?

 

[Timmah]

If you look, I've already applied the tags to match day threads in R10. Using this format I'll add them to R11

 

[applesauce]

Following FOX Sports would be smartest. As such:

BRI - CBR - CBY - CRO - GLD - MAN - MEL - NEW

NQL - PAR - PEN - STI - SOU - SYD - WAR - WST

Winner.

 

[El Diablo]

#nrltitman trending :lol:

 

[some11]

Following FOX Sports would be smartest. As such:

BRI - CBR - CBY - CRO - GLD - MAN - MEL - NEW

NQL - PAR - PEN - STI - SOU - SYD - WAR - WST

Yep, this.

 

[El Diablo]

#nrltitman trending :lol:

looks like they censored it

 

[docbrown]

It might sound odd but maybe it's worthwhile posting Timmah's list (good choice btw) on the indvidual NRL club fan pages as it might help spread the word a bit more as there is a crossover usage.

 

[Timmah]

NRL club fan pages? What exactly do you mean?

At the moment we're tweeting them before games, I'm including them in game day spoiler thread titles and I imagine this thread would be a good starter.

Tonight's #nrltitman... from next week they go sensible (although some people might enjoy "tit" being the Gold Coast's three letter-er...

madunit was saying earlier today this little hashtag thing proves that kicking out Cumberland in 1908 was a smart decision. :lol:
