The Cypress Gang presents Author of the Day Tweets

Posted 14 months ago|85 comments|989 views
Written by
To present some of the past authors. I will begin posting them on twitter one day per weekend. Do you have any suggestions of authors I should target?

Today's Author is Coloranter Raver. Don't be surprised if he magically appears in the top authors section. The tweets are set for 15 minute intervals. Each tweet is a different post.

No SPAM here
UPDATE - 14 months ago
Don't sit back and cry about how the site has left you out to dry...

Get pro-active. Why don't you spend your valuable personal time promoting the site for free? Is your time worth soooo much that you can only complain about how you have been screwed by corporate America?

I thought so....

14 months ago: I think I know where I stand on "pro-active" ...does any one knows when that will come to a vote?!:]
14 months ago: Stood or stand? Same damn thing. On is in the past with planted feet and one has present day planted feet.

So...How are you promoting the site during your free time?

We know how the adsense guys think....but your doing what?

Posting? Hanging on? Backing Up?

Let's go man...this is a chance to bring in tons of your type...

Not that it would be a bad thing.
14 months ago: Uh? that would be...without gaming, spamming or sending false info?

Me? Mine is legal as it is under my real name and sent on a time frame not to overload a system and they are all stand alone link posts. Then again. I also don't have an active adsense account that pays me and am not employed by rantrave.
14 months ago: I share with all my "friend" on FailBook !:]

13 months ago: I send my posts from RR to myspace and twitter. Nobody reads them but I'm trying.
14 months ago: Been working hard Cypress.

Not sure what's going on here.
14 months ago: Not to worry RED. Your still my cousin. Your on the list. I just can't get to everyone at once. Not sure what is going on here? Simple. You have been here long enough to remember most of these folks. A culture lesson to the newbies that want to cry about how they are getting screwed...again...

Maybe the site needs to be reminded of it's roots. Maybe the newbies need to be shown. They must be to lazy to dig. I'm just making it easy for them to find.

14 months ago: I always loved reading ColoranterRaver's pieces, so articulate.
14 months ago: Actually Tom. You are next on my list for Tweetieweekend. Peace brother.
14 months ago: Matter of fact Tom. Slim pissed me off. So I think I'll start yours tonight.
14 months ago: well TCG I see that really worked for ya. Whats next?

14 months ago: Slim, Huh? It worked well for me? What is next? Maybe another oldie goldie author. You must not have read any of Coloranter Ravers posts. I gained absolutely nothing from that little promotion.
14 months ago: And neither did we. Nor did the site from the looks of things. But if it will keep you occupied by all means please carry on.
14 months ago: Right. Funny. You just keep pounding the cheese cake. Maybe you'll find a job sooner or later. Until then. Get out of the way. Your blocking the aisle. You want to bet in I can get Tom on the top authors postings? You want to bet how many people might join RR from this little occupation? Probably more than you have enlisted. Then again, it does not take much to beat a ZERO.
14 months ago: BTW, ZERO. I now have a site Moderator watching the tweets. You think they might call me for spam? Not unless a repost slips in from the Tops section. I go right down the list from their profiled posts.

14 months ago: Ad homonym attacks do not forward the conversation. If you have a problem with a position I've taken, attack the position, not the person. This keeps our community a tad more civil.
14 months ago: So is this what Alzheimer's looks like? A man sitting in a corner talking to imaginary enemies and working out solutions to problems that don't exist? Cheesecake and and jobs. I've got a job. I did it here for a while I do it somewhere else now. I'm not interested in promoting a site that cant or wont control its own content. Because no matter what you want to believe thats what caused R&R's sudden fall in traffic. Someone got lazy and allowed posters to spam google on superblow weekend.

14 months ago: It's not spam. Its nothing close to spam. If he made a post every 15 minutes it wouldn't be spam. If he were promoting himself it still wouldn't be spam. But this isn't going to save the site. And the way it seems its been overrun by people who care more about their self inflated ego's then producing quality opinion pieces its not going to get better any time soon. You only have to look at the post count to get an idea of just how bleak the future of this wonderful idea is looking.

I stopped working on these pages because what i was doing wasn't appreciated by the community. And there is/was a tremendous amount of back biting and argumentative crap floating around. And the management doesn't seem to want or be able to provide leadership. And I'm not talking about the unpaid moderators.
14 months ago: Slim Pickens,

Or maybe you were tired of people calling you on your drivel? and not censoring everyone else?
14 months ago: What you were doing wasn't appreciated by the community? Sounds more like a personal issue than a RR community issue. You need some touchy feely support?
Pass! It's RantRave for Gods sake. Post it and if it takes then good for you. If it doesn't then move the hell on.
14 months ago: Sorry Tom. I only had time to send a few last night. Not to worry my friend. More are on the way. I think it's funny that I am now promoting myself in this personal time consuming project. Strange how the newbies think. Maybe they should take a few weeks and read some of the old posts.
14 months ago: I havent got any idea what your talking about TB. Seriously want to point out excatly what your talking about? I know I've not involved myself with you much. Nice to see you getting your 2 cents in.
14 months ago: Slim,

You say there was a "tremendous amount of back biting and argumentative crap floating around" ...well you did your fair share of chucking stuff too, now you are so much better than us... that is what I am talking about. Like Pluto, you can dish it, but have a hard time taking it with a little stake spice and sour cream.

[And what the heck, I was just feeling a little cheeky, and thought I would just take a cheap shot... to see if you still liked me !:]
14 months ago: You ain't no Slim Pickens when it comes to humor. That's for sure.
14 months ago: Cut him some slack TB. He was after all moderator material.
14 months ago: No, you still don't get it. The site got lazy and allowed people like you to find a paycheck playing games. I'm just proving it without cheating.

I agree community newbies should read the stuff that helped make rantrave what it is today
14 months ago: Strange? Look who showed up in the top authors.
14 months ago: Not to worry Tom. I won't forget Amishking. I have to work him in a way as not to attract the $people, Gpeople, 99people, etc. You know he is a magnet for those types.

I'm enjoying this.
14 months ago: We will see. Amishking has been hitting twitter since 6:00 this morning and is scheduled to run all day. I suspect that another old timer will hit the front page in the next 24 hours.
14 months ago: Could it be? Are my eyes deceiving me? Look who just popped up on the front page! Amish! You dirty dog.
14 months ago: Dang! Coloranter Raver made it to 7th position on my first attempt.
14 months ago: How about HeyNoni?
14 months ago: TCG,

I am just a "bit" backward... (stop laughing)... but how do I follow this on twitter?
14 months ago: Laugh? Why? Why would you want to follow the tweets that post old authors articles? You want all those tweets every 15 minutes when I am active? They might run hours upon hours. Weekends might run all day and night.

It is good reading though for those that complain on the direction of the site.

You really want to know?

Ask TomWing.

14 months ago: I think it's neat to see the old posts float by. Most of them I remember the day they were posted. It's a bit nostalgic to look back over an argument and then see how that may have shaped how you feel today.

Plus, it reminds me whose posts to delete as per the rules of karma.
14 months ago: I see you figured it out. Not very hard, eh? I won't post the address. I don't want to be accused of "self-promotion". However, it is in the public domain. If anyone asks you. Tell them.

14 months ago: Yup....I will do that. Interesting. Sunny

How can I find the twitter links? What is the twitter address? Please help!

Otherwise, Sunny. Login into twitter and then find people using...

14 months ago: Cypress - could you explain more. Is it all about making money on sites by clicking on ads? Is that what it is?
Sunny
14 months ago: Sorry Sunny. Call me stupid. I don't understand the question?

Even though I have an active google adsense account, I have never added the ppc click info to my profile. So I have never been paid a single penny on this site for a click. Then I have to ask? How would I profit from clicks by promoting othe authors?

What is it about you ask?

Maybe a simple RantRave culture lesson if you take the time to read some of the older posts from the beginning.

What was the culture then as opposed to today? Surely not PPC money or Google News.

14 months ago: Cypress Thanks..., I get it now. I was just wondering because I was trying understand how it works. Sunny

on the front page....

Who do ya'll want to see next?
14 months ago: Good Job Cyber Cypress !:]
14 months ago: You think, thunk or thought? Stick around. It will get better.
14 months ago: Since we are talking "Cyber"...Let's talk markbyrn...

The "Cyber" guru of rantrave. Really. This guys knows everything...and everuone...

except maybe how to post an article...

I was going to work mark into the mix until I saw his profile and total of 29 articles since joining in July of 2009...

Really? 29 articles in 20 months makes a good "Moderator"?

Maybe it is because he is such a good comMENTOR?

Don't believe me?

Here is all of the info on Moderator Mark you will need to call me a liar.

http://www.rantrave.com/profile/markbyrn...

So, Mark? Your such a pro at articles?

My new line is...

*Tsweet* *Tsweet*

Sorry bro. your not worth profiling to the front page.
14 months ago: TCG,

I am "feeling" you on this... I just smacked down Stan Five for having "writers block" for 6 months, yet he too can criticize and critique everyone else.... good point !:]

13 months ago: April 2 - Tsweet Tsweet weekend started over 5 hours ago.
13 months ago: Tsweet Tsweet weekend set to top 500 RantRave page tweets around 4:00 pm Central time April 2. Tsweet Tsweet.
13 months ago: Thanks TCG,

...for pumping more life back into RR !:]
13 months ago: It is what it is. Just don't call me the Cardiac Kid.

Next weekend my son and I are off for a Scouting campout. Try breaking into my house while we are away...the wife packs a .357 along with a 12 guage and knows how to use them. Over and over with quick reloads. Trained her well.

Not to worry. I'll set the auto send feature for the next victim before we take the weekend off.

BTW, bud. I see alot of tweets from you. Are they all your pages? How about a few from other authors? Mix them up and for Gods sake man...

Don't sent 20 in 5 minutes. Unless you want to be the next putz that everyone rails on......
13 months ago: Sorry, it's all new to me... I just found out what click meant!?!:]
13 months ago: Oh yeah. If anyone asks how to see them. Give them the info. I won't as I will be accused of self promotion. How did you find the Tsweet page?
13 months ago: I know your watching the TCG stuff Truthbrary. Are you dumbfounded yet?

Tell you what. I'm ready to make a deal. You ask who, what, when, where, why and how.

I'll answer if you stake your good name on spreading it around at a 90/10 ratio.

90 to them / 10 to you.
13 months ago: TCG,

Since I got "found" this is the most "lost" I've been since...

Give me a year and I think I will figure it all out. I didn't know if I needed to tweet my stuff so others would know what I was about... then they could gauge what I was recommending...
13 months ago: It has definitely made a difference in the amount of views to my pages... I am going to sift though your trash to see what I can post... along with a few other favorite dudes...
13 months ago: "sift though your trash to see what I can post".....

That is real funny.....I was going to let you know how to automate until that statement.....I guess You need to be topped by a non-poster to get the picture.

OK. Click away. Mine can run 24/7.

How much you want to bet your not in the top spot on Monday? Even with your double click posts.
13 months ago: Actually, I should have posted...

double, triple and quadruple clicks......

No Truthbrary SPAM there.

Sift what you feel you can muster the strength to stomach while professing to the world your righteous. All the while Spamming to stay on top. NO?
13 months ago: TCG,

...I was trying to make a funny... you are so easy !:]
13 months ago: I can always count on you for a laugh... I come from a place that yells "Hey Ugly" to the best of my friends... if I outright insult you, then you gatta know that I am beginning to like you !:]
13 months ago: I have no problem with insults or "outright" insults. Ho skin off my nose. I can only point out the hypocrisy. Hypocrisy as viewed from the outside of ones own self interests. Makes me think that some of those that are no longer here deserve their own self imposed outcastness.
13 months ago: You have done a lot of work here TCG... others may not appreciate it but I do.

13 months ago: Maybe the content should be written so that people understand, and they will read and participate on the site. I think talking over someones head is a deliberate tactic, but it also discourages.

There, that's not self-promotion now is it.
13 months ago: Yeah. But look who just took out Truthbrary for the top spot....

That might be.

Not to worry Truthie. I still like you. I just had to make a point.
13 months ago: Yeah, I know I shouldn't have done it. But I did. Altruist was having a hard time getting on the front page so I tweeted 2 of his recent posts. Look who showed up. Should I move him up in the ranks this weekend?

13 months ago: Too late. Albert just took them out. Moving into 6 position. It only took 1 hour. Sorry.
13 months ago: Way too much fun. Albert thinks his writing abilities ranked him.

Let's have some real fun. RedStateGuy on the top authors list on Easter Sunday.

Any takers of that bet?
13 months ago: Look who's ugly mug just showed up. Who should my next victim be???
