TeamEN and social media

Coach Rich

Hi,

We have many new members and vets using the social media tools of Facebook and Twitter to create relationship and friendships beyond just the normal EN stuff. When I log into Facebook it's pretty cool to see members connecting around share hobbies, families, mutual friends, setting up their own accountability and encouragement system, etc.

This is how it usually works:

1. Create a Facebook profile, or friend up me and Patrick, and we'll connect you with other members. You can take it from there.
2. Create a Twitter account and follow TeamEN. Then, as you do your workouts, etc, just tweet them with #workworks at the end and they'll be pushed to the team via the Dashboard.

We are working to include Twitter status bar at the top of your dashboard so you can Tweet your status from the EN website. I forsee a future, not too far away, when I hit EN in the morning before a workout and see 100+ other TeamEN members have Tweeted their workouts, encouraged each other, talked smack, etc.

You might not be into yet another web tool but Twitter, at a minimum, is very easy and has the potential to expand the accountability and mojo-power of EN to outside the website. Check it out!

Members using these tools to connect with other: please share your experiences, thanks!

This is probably a REALLY dumb questions, but when you tweet, do you put #workworks at the beginning or the end of said tweet?

Paul Stone

 USually at the end.  Does anyone else think the twitter feed on the dash is fast?

Bill McKinney

Yes...I think it scrolls way too fast...virtually impossible to read

Coach Rich

On my end, if I hover my mouse over the feed it stops. Restarts when I move the mouse.

Hello - new here to EN and to Twitter. I am trying to have my Tweets post to that "roll-down" scroll box on the EN dashboard - but when I tag them with #workworks they somehow don't make it to the feed. Any ideas/ Is there some "@" prefix I should be using? Thank in advance for your replies! -Jonathan

@Jonathan: Make sure your Tweets are not protected. I had the same issue for a while.
