Hi Team!
For a second it looked like we were passed the Twitter lockouts. Unfortunately they are still happening to some Team members so we're going to try a new approach that I think will create a lighter footprint for us on Twitter.
OUR CURRENT SYSTEM
Team members auto-retweet a team Twitter List.
The team Twitter list consists of all of our tweets.
So their is a lot of cross retweeting...team member A retweets team member B, C, D and vice verse.
There's a lot going on there.
NEW (Simpler) APPROACH
EtsySocial.com currently randomly auto-tweets our featured listings in our EtysSocial dashboard out to the EtsySocial Twitter account
Therefore we could all just retweet EtsySocial's twitter as a way to retweet each other. We would occasionally retweet one of our own listings but unlike retweeting via the team twitter list, it would not be our tweet (remember we had to create a rule to keep that from happening.) Instead it would be etsysocial's tweet of our listing and so we would not be retweeting ourselves.
Our developer is double checking somethings in the twitter rules but we think this will be a much simpler system. However, before we set it up, I wanted to get your thoughts.
Here's the roll out:
1. We would change the set up in your EtsySocial dashboard from retweeting a team Twitter to being able to 'activate' and 'deactivate' retweeting EtsySocial's Twitter.
2. EtsySocial's Twitter would only post tweets, no retweets (so that no chance of retweeting oneself)
3. We'll increase the number of EtsySocial tweets (currently set at 10 per hour)
4. For each Team member posting team retweets to their twitter, we'll keep the number to 5 per hour for now til we see things go. If all goes well, we can think about gradually increasing the number to get back to 10.
If this sounds like a plan, I will get out developer on it.
Thanks Team!!
Clarissa
