I'm posting this message for my friend Jess92,I think it's an awesome idea and hope all of you agree with me.
If you have a locked account,plz,make sure to unlock it for the trending topic marathon,otherwise it will not be counted.


Want to support the the best band in the world (30 Seconds To Mars)?

Then come join us on twitter.com and lets try to make #marsiscoming a trending topic!

This time lets really put our best-foot-forward!


This is what you must do:

On July 31, August 1, and August 2 on every tweet that you post
try to include these phrases: Hash tags (#) are not required
#marsiscoming
#30STM
#MARSARMY
#Echelon
#₪ ø lll ·o.

The first two are the most important, so please try to include them both in a tweet! If everyone includes any one of these phrases within their tweets, we have a big chance to be a trending topic.

What does that mean, you ask? Well it means that millions of people will see it and be interested in what it is or who they are! This will help the band get new listeners and fans!

If you don't have a twitter account got to http://twitter.com/ and create one and help the band!

follow: @30secondstomars (http://twitter.com/30secondstomars)

Make sure to include only one of each tag in your tweets so that we don't, spam! Also feel free to include these links:

- http://bit.ly/oZaiv
- http://bit.ly/5XGub

- http://bit.ly/f8ZBv
- http://bit.ly/4EStfX

Feel free to include any links involving the band as well, such as a video, or a link to an article about the new album.


Tweet as much as you can so we have a bigger chance to create this a big event!

Before the digital summit, we will trend to let everybody know #marsiscoming!

ECHELON get ready for this because this time, WE WILL SUCCEED!
See you on twitter on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday


Provehito In Altum!

great idea, guys!! ) will do my best! )

1) This is already being discussed in the twitter thread.
2) There is already (a better thought out) thread about this. Here
3) Making new (useless) threads doesn't get you more attention, despite the common belief.
4) I've got nothing else to say/write, I just like making lists

Great idea!!!

Aww Arezo - I love you

i believe that is an old mission!

1. In the twitter thread, where? What page?
2. That is OLD news, DONE AND OVER with.
3. This is not a useless thread, it was posted so it can be easily found and NOT cluttered, such as if it was in the twitter thread(see # 1)
4. No one posted this here to try and get anyone MORE attention.
5. I just like making lists to point out that you've made an ass of yourself =)

Technically, missions are suggested by the band, so niether this nor that other thread's ideas are missions. The OP could have just as easily bumped that thread and added her/his idea. Things keep cleaner that way.

Read the last couple of pages of the twitter thread, people are talking about how to effectively make #marsiscomming a trending topic without making into spam and annoying the shit out of sane people.

& since when pointing out the obvious= making an ass of oneself?

Yes, mission are usually suggested by the band, but I've not read any where were its against any "rules" that fans cant take an initiative and start things on their own.

As I said this was posted here so it is seen and it is well thought out so that its not meant to spam either, if others have more suggestions before this starts thats great, all ideas are welcome to best reduce spam. Besides it was more or less an idea first for this twitter mission ... this is an idea section correct? Plus not everyone is a member so they can't view the Echelon thread. The hive is still viewable.

Pointing out the obvious... hmm so "Making new (useless) threads doesn't get you more attention, despite the common belief" so please tell me you didn't mean this was the intention, so that the OP can get ZOMG special attention? You can't be serious...
Yes this thread was made to get the attention for OTHERS to join, if they would like.

So yeah...

i wouldn't tweet any things that people who aren't fans don't understand, such as marsiscoming and Echelon for example. why do we have to spam for 3 days? cause spam is what it is, even if you only include the tags in your tweets. when other users click on it they will only find your nonsense with a not related tag.

lol Arezo.

-------------------

The best band in the world? Since when?

I'm sure even 30 would argue that, despite the most flattering nature of this statement lol.

Honestly, it's fun to have this as a trending topic and such, but for me, it always looks like spam.

Getting a lot of conflicting information regarding the "correct" way to go about accomplishing the Trending Topic goal. Is there someone out there who can post this information? What works? What doesn't? What constitutes "inappropriate" tweeting, etc.

Thanks!

^ Topic merge.

Hi guys ...love the new mission idea

If the entire world will know that Mars is coming, a hard question because trendig a topic once it has achieved, depends on how many time you keep mentioning?

Since the person who posted it thinks so, that's when. Obviously you disagree and quite frankly I do too, but why even go there. Why insinuate that her saying 30STM is the "Best band in the world" is something only someone deranged would say. You don't even know what other music she likes that she is comparing them to. Maybe if she listed out all her favorite bands you would look at it and say...well ya know what you're right, in your world they are the best.

To me her statement simply conveys her excitement about the band and the sharing of her friend's idea. Of course I am not saying repetition of information and threads is OK either but I agree with Nemesis that the other Twitter thread is in the only section of the board that you need membership to access. I never really go in there because a lot of times I don't want to log in to get there. This hive area is accessible to everyone not just Echelon and I think it makes sense to have it here. So for example if you are led here via facebook, you can read, maybe become intrigued by the idea, and then perhaps join the boards and participate.

acrobat69 I assumed you were female for whatever reason. If not, please insert male pronoun in above paragraph to represent yourself . Oh and I mean no offense to your musical tastes with what I said. To each his/her own .

lol

This might be helpful not only for you http://www.squidoo.com/30STM



When I read the post on My Space that lead me to this thread my first reaction was “Oh please NO!!!”

I had this reaction because I was told by many people after the Trending Topic mission weekend that they are truly annoyed by all the spamming with tweets like this:

#marsiscoming #marsiscoming #marsiscoming #marsiscoming #marsiscoming #marsiscoming #marsiscoming #marsiscoming #marsiscoming.

To me this mean there is going something terribly wrong.

We are supposed to promote and support the band, aren’t we?

BUT we can only achieve this goal by doing the right things at the right time!

We won’t do the band a favor if we push this too far, or cross a line we shouldn’t cross for the love of 30 SECONDS TO MARS by creating an overload of spamming tweets.

In plain language - as much as it is wonderful that all of us, fans / followers etc. would love to be involved by doing their own missions

PLEASE DON' T DO IT IN THIS CASE UNLESS IT IS OFFICIAL DEMANDED BY MARS!

Otherwise people will react offended by only hearing the word “MARS” in the future and nobody will be open anymore to listen to whatever the band wants to tell the world.

So I appeal on your common sense - use it wisely!

Be patient!

Wait, until we will be sent out on a new mission by the band so we do really helpful things to support and promote them.

I'm female,no offence to me,don't worry,I'm very proud of my musical tastes.
And proud to help a friend here to spread the word for Mars.
I think this is the only important thing,coz we can show our love for the band together.

personally i find the whole #marsiscoming/whateverthefuck incredibly annoying when its attached to every tweet, or written relentlessly. its pointless.
im not a fan of the #ff marathons that go on either though.

Batman is back!!!!! 11!!33@!

Come again?

For the love of God please point me where I even insinuated that what she says is something only a deranged would say. I defy you to find such hints in my even polite post to her. Don't put words, or even thoughts I never made. I merely asked and stated that even the band itself would argue such bold statement despite the flattering nature of it.

Secondly, I never made any comments about her music taste, nor I questioned her taste. Of course yes, if for example, she listens daily to Jonas Brothers and Tokio Hotel, or Britney Spears then surely 30 are J.S. Bach in comparison.
30 is one my top ever favourite bands and will keep on being favourite, but that doesn't mean I will top them above sacred monsters of music. Neither the band would do that.

You know, lectures are fine as long as you have a back up for your claims, in which case you don't. So trying to portray my post as an attempt by me to insinuate anything about the poster, fails.

Plus she posts something, and I have the right to ask, argue, or agree with her, I believe.

yes, the #marsiscoming when written reletntlessly as in the whole tweet is composed of nothing but that is... annoying. The thing is, people do not understand how to/what makes a trending topic. Most can't be bothered to research and learn they just jump on the bandwagon all full of vim and vigor, which is good, but if the vim and vigor is not channeled correctly, it does nothing. #blah #blah #blah #blah in a thousand tweets by twenty people does not a trending topic make.

Now, to make it into the trending topic would be pretty easy. If even half the peeps following mars all agreed on one #tag or word and then used it on all applicable tweets and even a few unrelated ones, all on one day, it would trend on it's own. Cause if you click on any trending topic, and yes people do click on those sometimes *raises hand* it's clear that the reason that particular hashtag or word is in the list is because people are talking about a common subject in normal tweets and all used the same word or hashtag in those tweets.

Even if tweets made up of #blah #blah #blah #blah only made it into the trend, and it never would because those tweets dont contain any actual words, what would people find when they clicked on it? Nothing of any substance. Just a bunch of people tweeting #marsiscoming #marsiscoming #marsiscoming over and over again. It's pointless. However, if 15000 people all included the word MARS in their tweets for a 24 hour period and included things like "hey @30SECONDSTOMARS is working on their new cd! Go MARS wee" or "I'm just on twitter cause I'm waiting for more MARS info from @30SECONDSTOMARS so sue me" or "hey visit the MARS website" and include the link and shit like that... yep MARS or whatever would trend and people clicking would see people actually saying something about the band and it might pique their interest and/or they might follow them. Which is what I try to do on those few occassions that I have jumped in to help such a trend thing but I get discouraged watching all the tweets that do nothing other than just piss people off. :/

I know you know all this already I'm just bouncing off your oh goddamn I almost said off your tweet instead of off your post hahaa :>

And yes, the #ff makes no sense. I have never seen #ff in the trending list on a friday. It's been months since Ive seen #followfriday trend. People, pay attention to what is actually trending! It's been Follow Friday for months now... that is what people are using. If you want your tweet of peeps to follow to actually get INTO that stream for others to see in case they click that topic, use whatever is current.

yes, I read and research a lot... when faced with something new, I am one curious motherfucker


shhhhhh.... let's keep this under our hats for now. It will be our little secret

The fact that writing ...Best band in the world? Since when?, implied to me a form of negativity towards the statement because it was written in the form of a question. It insinuated to me a strong disbelief at the statement. You could have just written that you disagreed. The deranged wording was simply an exageration of the negativity I got from reading what you wrote. Being polite has nothing to do with it. It's also laughable that you think saying a band is the best in the world is a bold statement. It's really more like a term of endearment in my eyes. People say that stuff all the time.

Touche to the bolded portion of your quoted post. BTW I don't consider a 5 sentence post on a message board a lecture. I don't lecture, I hate speeches and long winded people who talk to hear themselves talk. But if that's the case maybe I should invest in a podium. I might need it.

I hate follow friday. How can I keep up with actual updates of the people I follow when people are throwing the same bands/ people at me ionnevery single friday. Newsflash: everyone on your twitter is already following the band and bandmembers! People won't click on the #FF in trending topics because there is just way too much spam to get noticed.
The same goes for Music Monday (who comes up with this shit anyway?!)


It would be better if we all decide on ONE day to mention the band in a normal tweet, like CandyO said. I've already removed people who I was following because they were too goddamn anoying. If we were at a bar I would throw my drink in your face.

not all my followers follow the band... I do the follow friday for a variety of people I follow who I think my followers might be interested in and my not have seen the tweets by them.. I am not a strictly 30stm only person on twitter- I know go figure I use it for other areas of my life also...

music monday is the same way.. I try to mention all the bands I follow - I follow a lot of music apparently,,

I fully understand about getting the band in the trending topic... hell they started this craziness months ago, but you have to do it smart and not piss off all the people whom follow you- thats the catch... the larger the network the faster you get to be a trending topic.. what we should do is see if Ashton or PDiddy would help get the band as a trending topic.. then bam your there...

I'm not strictly a 30stm-person either, but I don't think my interests mix well well, obviously for me they do, but people might get confused if the see a #ff for 30stm, a museum, Beats Antique, neal donald walsch and a bunch of zombies....

I don't know where I was going with this, but anyway- tweeting the same people every week does not make me magically interested

I agree with you El- but I am not going to stop or say anything to anyone who is going to try for the trending topic.. its an individual choice. I do think the guys have figured out that it they tweet more, then they gain followers - they have gone up almost 1000 in 3 days but they have been tweeting and having contest.. that gets people interested.

ill buy you an altar if you like?
its much more impressive.

welcome back

All i can say is Jeto is inda house

Hey! Welcome back dude
What happened to your old account?

Hmmm nice offer but altar's make me think of church and I try not to do that too often. Podium's are much more secular . I do agree they tend to be much more impressive though.

Starr Gazing Mag would be glad to help Mars with any Tweets that need to be done..We are also part of the Mars Army. We really need to help Jared out and get this cd and tour a household word and make this cd go triple platinum before Dec. 8.

Twitter if used right can be a fantastic marketing tool.

@starrsgazingmag Will be posting tour dates and update info on Mars as well as pushing the cd with Blips and videos.
http://blip.fm/starrgazingmag

We should put the Mars Is Coming and This Is War campaign with the hashmarkings
#MarsIsComing
#ThisIsWar
#30STM
#Echelon

In each tweet..they should schedule the tweets every 6 hours and we could really trend this thing.

Who's with me?

Anyone else thought of doing another trend for 30STM?
