#AskObama: Twitter Town Hall Advice For the Unemployed/99ers - Crew Of 42
http://www.crewof42.com/?p=6138
White House Twitter Town Hall is WED. JULY 6 @2PM EST. Yes the 99ers are a twitter saavy group. I write this because I know they will use this information wisely. There was a conference call today put on by the White House regarding tomorrow’s Twitter town hall. To ask questions use #AskObama. But let’s keep it real: If the President starts fielding questions about the White House chef or something we’ll know this thing was rigged. Actually, I think the folks at the White House are truly interested in fielding real questions. Though on today’s conference call, someone mentioned that the Facebook event featured Mark Zuckerburg selecting questions. Twitter creator Jack Dorsey will be on hand for this event but it doesn’t look like he’ll filter the questions. One can only hope. With 13 million Americans out of work a few unemployment related questions are bound to come up. Today it was hard to pin down exactly who will filter the questions for tomorrow’s event. But one thing is for sure: It must be someone from either the White House or Twitter.

I just read a message on twitter that Barbara Lee will be there to support the 99ers as well.

If Obama or any of the questions related to 99ers and HR589 are addressed, I will pass out from shock. All we want is to be acknowledged. I'm glad that Barbara Lee will be there to show support. I love Twitter and use it everyday, it is much more efficient and interactive than Facebook (in my humble opinion). If Social Media helped Obama get elected in '08, get Betty White on SNL, etc. I can't see why it shouldn't help try and pass a bill to extend benefits for 14 freaking weeks.

According to the guidelines for the questions to be chosen, it will be based on the number of retweets AND what is trending! Be sure to add #99er and #HR589!

Guidelines for tomorrow's Townhall from Twitter:
Questions addressed during the Town Hall will be selected both in advance and in real-time during the event. To narrow down the list of popular, relevant questions to ask on behalf of Twitter users, we’re doing the following:
• We’ve partnered with Mass Relevance to curate, visualize and integrate conversations for the event.
• Algorithms behind Twitter search will identify the Tweets that are most engaged with via Retweets, Favorites and Replies.
• A team of seasoned Twitter users with experience discussing the economy will help flag questions from their communities through retweets.
To have your voice heard, tweet your questions on the economy and be sure to include the hashtag #AskObama. You can track the conversation in three great ways: Watch the event live at http//askobama.twitter.com, follow live Tweets from @townhall, or search the hashtag #AskObama.

Please RT all questions with #unemployment, #99ers, #HR589, etc! The more retweets, the better the chance of being answered!
