Twitter, through the tulips : PAX Prime Tweeting

chaosisorder

*brushes off PeasantDave's Twitter thread*

It's time to get the Twitter lists going. Twitter is a handy tool for keeping up with PAX lines, announcements, friends and giveaways. Although connections are often spotty in the convention center, Twitter is a pretty easy media to access, and you can even have feeds sent as texts to your cell phone to avoid data charges.

I'll be keeping this thread updated (I'll try- but PAX is upon us...feel free to post and others can add you that way), so if you have suggestions on what needs to be here, or would like your handle to be added, post away!

You can find me under @bigGUNSfowler.
A hashtag I've seen getting a lot of use is #PAXiscoming. And I think theone for the Triwizard is #TWDT11. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

I would suggest following the Intel PAX twitter. They tweet where they are and give out free stuff a lot.

chaosisorder

I added the hash tag.

Iintel Game On is still undergoing revisions, so I'm not putting them up until they make an official announcement they'll be at Prime and under what account.

Maetrix

Excellent list Chaos! *busy scrambles to add peoples*

Feel free to add mine: @maetrix

blAAAm!!!

punzie

I was starting to wonder if we were going to have a twitter list for Prime like we did for East.
I'm @sewingpunzie
Most, if not all, of the MMT tweets will also show up in my personal account.

zerzhul

you know mine, @zerzhul, feel free to add me. In addition, will there a list for "community event" twitters?

Also, the list linked for Official PAX tweets has more than that on it, so you may want to start your own list for that. You have the PAXE 2011 lists, and that format worked well. Maybe just start your own set that's like that?

CaptainTapole

I be @CaptainTapole ...obviously.

I know that Slytherins' have a Twitter account as well from last year, but I don't know if it'll be for both or just DA/DE. I will talk to Dave about that.

lemongrenades

Last year there was an unofficial @PAXparties account too.

Willeth

I'm @Willeth and always have been.

This is the second week in a row where I swore I was following someone and I wasn't. Rectified.

My twitter is @EvilBadman

niya

#LonelyPAX for those flying solo and looking to meet up for food/drink/random gaming/etc...

Alatheia

You're missing two, that I know of, on your lists

@TT_HQ It's the main one for Tabletop
@LineEntertainer Line Entertainment

me: @tehtheia

MarySue

@MarySueTwiteth

I'm sure I'll be using the #LonelyPAX hashtag at some point. *bats her eyes* Would you like to play a game? I enjoy Thermonuclear War, myself.

akjak

@akjak on teh Twitterz

eMDee

Twitter Sh***er reporting in, @moogledee

TimeCruiserMike

as for my twitter handle, @TimeCruiserMike

I'll fix the lists later today.

I'm not doing a community events list, since they are independent and most are things people do only one or two of.

Coldbrew

@Coldbrew71 is me.

It would be cool if you could add @paxcommunitydvd to the community list too.

Arikado

Mine is @ArikadoPA.

skylatron

Awesome list, thanks! I'm @skylatron, and will be annoyingly tweeting all weekend.

SmallLady

@smalllady0


Awesome job chaos

Got Haggis?

@basicallygeek (duh)

jmckelden

I'll definitely be tweeting the whole time. @jmckelden.

Nerdgasm

@NerdForm. Mostly using it for following, but I imagine I may tweet up a storm with this being my first PAX AND Omegathon.

DylaNWG

@DylanSabin ; I'll hopefully be tweeting an awful lot, and most of it will be vidyagames related. Gotta earn that press badge, y'know.

I put the @mattkopas on the list since I assume the PPL will have quite the large twitter sharing for that event.

You have protected tweets. I can put you in the list above, but not the actual Twitter list.

MJPM

I will be actively tweeting at Prime: jrroop
