original post:
Hello Perth! This is your Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi. Yes, I am on Twitter! Follow along, and please, re-tweet to all your Perth friends.
Hmm Lisa is outgoing and I really admire her but for a Perth pollie to come up with the above?
The follower seeding soon started as one or two people retweeted the fact that Lisa was on twitter and in 6 hours she had over 400 followers. I had my doubts I welcomed her initially and later at night also mentioned her birthday as it falls on the same day as my wife's birthday but did not get a response back. All her responses were about Rocky IV though she did also reply to some well known perth tweeps that would make sure the seeding would work well.
Now seriously, would, our lord mayor say this:
Thanks to all my new followers! Some great ideas about #perth Now it's time to kick off the Manalo's and call it a day!
That was also the same time the first # tag appeared.. It is possible that someone taught her how to do it, but for a n00b this is amazing:
Enough ad's!!! Lets get back to RockyIV !!! #perth #vibrant #RockyIV #drago4mayor yay it's back on he's skipping! #gorocky #yes #80'smontage
that is taking the piss and it is hash tags on steroids you need to know you way around twitter to do that.
Finally being able to work without staff at night and retweet this:
'rocky' is now trending in #Perth http://trendsmap.com/au/perth
Enough already #Perth you have been pwnd. that is all.
Don't give this person oxygen IMO and do not follow or RT.
