Tweet Bank: It's NEW! (Matt T + Rebeccah)

How to promote your stuff through Mozilla channels
- You've got a story or announcement you want to promote. From the @Mozilla twitter account, Facebook, etc.
- As we approach MozFest, communications / promotional meltdown can occur
- Here's how to do it:
  - 1) Go here
    - <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Tweets">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Tweets</a>
  - 2) Scroll down to the date or dates you want
  - 3) Paste in our tweet or status update. Using the handy Etherpad Indicator(tm) to detect 144 character length!
  - 4) That's it! Matt and Rebeccah will edit and tweak accordingly.
- Tips and tricks:
  - Make it clear what the reader's getting on the either side of the click.
  - Consider an arc over multiple days. Especially for stuff with deadlines. (e.g, "only 5 days left to apply for the OpenArt fellowships")
  - Bear in mind that you're writing for "@Mozilla." Use our voice and tone.
