I've got an app that, in one step, will post to all the facebook walls I've liked. I just went through & liked ALL the RP groups that were open. Any thoughts as to the most attention getting message content?

Ron Paul is In It To Win It - Donate to April 15, 2012 Moneybomb at www.RonPaul2012.com

Since you said 'attention getting' ^^^^

We can use more cheerful stuff to market with. Or you could add the avatar you made and banner to spread, which will give it a lighter touch...

WEEEELLLL...

The app ended up SUCKING, but I went through & posted them individually so 220 posts later...

I have a feeling a lot of people who got saw the posts about the moneybomb mistook it for happening right now. Suddenly at 10:00 on Friday night donations shot through the roof. After 3+ days of barely breaking $15,000 all day, he got about $40,000 in just over 4 hours.

They may have seen the ticker that is still on the official page for the last moneybomb and assumed it was the next one.

he sent out an end of quarter email.

I think the look is terrific, but does it maybe give the impression we don't have a chance to use a belligerent baby?

 

[seawolf]

Sailingaway is right on!!! We are currently in a 24 hour END OF THE QUARTER PUSH for Donations.

The Campaign is asking for just $10 or even $25 to be donated by every Ron Paul Supporter before Midnight Tonight!!.

The 1st Quarter FEC Report needs to show continuing strong financial support for Ron or the media will pounce big time.

it's not serious, just meant to be a funny for us on forums

Here's an example of the direction we're headed, yes the logo is missing the last word "it" at the end, we have to fix that, this is not for propagation or distribution just wanted to get it out here so you guys can see where we are headed. Avatars, banners and site design to come possibly later today or tomorrow.

The thing about the last ones is you can't read the information as small as avatars are. The NOBP ones mostly had that issue, there were only a couple to choose where you could read the date of the money bomb. This is a big point to me because I often 'log in' with my twitter account on comments and I'd like to leave a short version advertisement of the date of the money bomb even if my comment isn't on that. Could there be some with really large date and Moneybomb or something?

Also, the last 'it' is missing. I'm assuming you did that on purpose?

the art work is really great, and I hate being picky, I just think it would be even better if the key information were big enough to read on twitter. I choose the ones I use because of their usefulness in spreading the information that there is a moneybomb that day. A ton of people who would donate to Ron don't really care what the theme is as much as what day it is. Those would work here, but it would be great if we had a version with bigger date for twitter or comment sections of articles.

Yea the problem with working with twitter avatars is they scale down to 48x48 which at that point you have a choice, either limit amount of text that is readable and go with recognizable branding, go with no text and just a brand, or go with just text and no graphics so that its readable.

What we will end up doing is something similar to what we did for NOBP which is to have various different version of the logo for Twitter specifically we'll add the date again underneath or above the image so that it is readable at 48x48 like we did with some of the smaller avatars such as these:

There were some 23+ more twitter examples here:
http://www.noonebutpaul.com/promote/#avatars

For now the initial step is to focus on branding, once the branding is finalized then we can do different things with how we actually implement it, but the idea with this logo is that even if you never read any text with enough people changing their avatar over time the text actually loses its meaning and the symbol is what gets communicated. For example with STOP SOPA their branding symbol was this:



Which is essentially a European stop sign, after a while it became easily recognizable because everyone was using it, for those that didn't know about the date or time or event or what it all means, they asked because they saw lots of different people using it and then used it themselves for their profile pictures. In the same grain of a picture is worth a thousand words something at 48x48 needs to communicate a message visually and something we can reuse at different sizes with different applications else we might as well just stick to text and in which case I'm not sure how many people would adopt it as their own when accessorizing a their profiles. We will be using the logo with different text and there will most likely be different versions of the logo depending if its to be used for the site, avatar (facebook or twitter), banners, etc.

And yes as I mentioned in previous post it's missing the last word "it", typographical error. Fixed logo with avatars will be released most likely later today.
