All right guys, I know I’m new around here, but I had a pretty cool idea that I think some of you may want to participate in. Essentially, Twitter accounts will be created for the Oceanic Six (minus Aaron, obviously), and we’ll use them to follow the events off-island in this season as if we were those characters. Need for information? Keep reading!
What’s Twitter?
Twitter is a social network/micro-blogging service that is absolutely free to sign up for. You can see the example I’ve set up
here. The amount of characters you can input for one “post” is limited to 160. This means sometimes you have to be smart to say all you want to say.
Who can participate?
Anyone can participate! Just post here with the character you’d like to post as, and I’ll help you set up an account if you need any help. I would like for you to make a commitment to this, however, and continue with your character at least until he or she makes it back to the island.
So what/when do I post?
Just post whatever happens to the character on the show! Act as if you are the character, not yourself commenting on the character. Think of it as role-playing. You can post whenever you like, whether on Wednesdays after the show or any time throughout the week, but please do not post more than once a day, simply because people will be “following” you and we don’t want to flood and annoy them. Also, please post at least once a week.
What can I use to post?
You may use the Twitter website, or any of the downloadable clients.
If enough people are interested, you might also be able to create an account for anyone else off island (particularly Ben, Desmond, and Widmore).
Any questions I forgot, or anything you need clarified? Just post!
