4 Simple Steps to Take Your Audience to a Whole New Level:

This screen is for the Talk Show Host ONLY. Don't share this with the Audience.

1) Choose a unique Tag for your show, topic, etc.

2) Test it to make sure you tag is unique, i.e. the next screen should come up blank to start with.

3) Announce your tag, "Okay, if you have Twitter, Post a tweet with the tag pound KFABTalk and we'll track it here."

4) After you submit your Tag and announce it, sit back and watch the Tweets roll in! (Toggle on/off full-screen with <F11> key)

Taking it to a whole new level? HOW?

Not only can the audience listen to you and comment, (even sending text messages to their Twitter account), FOR THE FIRST TIME, they can ALSO follow your Hashtags and Tweet with the others that have also used that tag. You now have created a dialogue between them (if they include your tag in their posts) and you get to see the banter on the screen.

[NOTE ON TWITTER:] Twitter's premise is that you will want to have as many followers as possible, which means anything you tweet they'll see. This is "so 2008" and limits your Tweets to philosopy and prophesizing, etc. Have fun with Twitter! Tweeting with Hashtags makes Twitter an interactive system based on content, not the author.

[Twitter-phobes] You don't have to use Twitter to implement this page. However, if you want to communicate with the Tweeters, give Twitter a try (or another try) and include the Hashtags in your Updates. Whether you Tweet for a concert, a talk show topic or Tweeting during a game as a Sports Commentator Tweeter, aka Commentweeter, Hashtags are the next generation of Twitter. We learned to love Twitter using Hashtags!

p.s. We filter out all Tweets with "http://" Hyperlinks. This web page is for displaying Tweets so the Hyperlinks are moot. Plus, getting rid of those Tweets with Hyperlinks cuts down on solicitations by those who use Twitter to push their wares, including Porno Websites.
