If anyone has ideas how we can better promote yapcna via "official" online
posting,
or is simply willing to add their email address to the list of folk we have
available to
give feedback on our daily blogging, please email admin at yapcna.org.

A walk thru of Wednesday's promotion of yapcna.org by "official" online
posting:

Wednesday daytime JT posted a blog about the Idea Collector he has set up
for us:

    http://blog.yapcna.org/post/42425648896/idea-collector

The following tweet was then automatically generated and cross-posted:

    Idea Collector - Continuing with the tradition started last year, we’ve
    set up a site specifically for you to… http://tmblr.co/ZwdUIxdWn0S0

Yesterday evening we posted a "quick update" blog entry:

    http://blog.yapcna.org/post/42458159855/quick-update-on-our-progress

The automated cross-posting didn't work. (We're trying to figure that out.)
I (raiph) also didn't like the way the tweet from JT's post had been
truncated.
So last night I manually added these two tweets:

    submit and vote on ideas for YAPC::NA 2013. Who would you like
    to see? Something you want to do? Any idea is welcome.
    http://ideas.yapcna.org

    Quick update: Travel, Parking, Lodging pages added to http://yapcna.org,
    78 registered so far. YAPC::NA 2013, June 3-5, Austin, Texas.

These, or close variants, were cross-posted (mostly manually) to:

G+
Twitter
LinkedIn
the #yapc IRC channel
PerlMonks,
reddit
HyperNews

and, with this post, the yapc mailing list. Facebook should follow today.

What else can we do to improve the effectiveness of our online promotion?


Talk to you soon,

YAPC::NA Team
