Hi Team!
I had a very productive discussion with Daniel looking at the logistics of how his app works and the implications for us using it to auto-retweet.
Here is the skinny of what we discussed:
1. First, subscription plasn are for getting retweeted - when you pay $5.99 that allows for you to get retweeted 400 times.
2. However many times per day you use the team hashtag x the number of members on the team = how many times you will be retweeted.
ie if you use the Team hashtag 3 times in a day x 224 members = 672 retweets for you
That is how it would work you, me and every member using #etsmntt 3 times a day.
In turn we would each be responsible for generating 672 retweets on our Twitter accounts. 672 retweets spread across 24 hours would be 28 retweets an hour for each of us to have posted to our twitters!
So it's easy to see that for a team our size that could all be problematic.
Clearly, we need:
1. an unlimited plan
2. a way to control the number of team retweets posted via our twitter accounts
3. how to make using the team hashtag more dynamic on his app where are able to use it more than once a day and not have it be a problem.
4. lastly, we need an extended trial period.
He said he was glad to have an understanding of our needs and would look to see what might be possible. I'm looking forward to hearing from him possibly tomorrow.
I don't expect that he will be in a position to offer us a free service, however I am hopeful that a deal can be worked out that we can all get behind. Let's see what he comes back to us with and take it from there!
Thanks Team!!
