TWiki Marketing

Testimonials (including YouTube contest)

TWiki has a huge installed base and we need to make use of this to get the word out there. The most exciting part of this is the YouTubeDemoContest2008 where you could win up to $2,000 for a short video telling the story about how great TWiki is.

For information on how many TWiki installations are estimated to be in use, see the page TWikiPopularityEvidence.

Blogging

  • The TWiki community has its own blog
  • If you'd like to write a blog entry but are not sure what to write about, take a look at BlogIdeas.
  • If you've got an idea for a blog but can't write it yourself why not add it to BlogIdeas and ask for a co-author. Wikis are all about collaboration, right?
  • Press the button! We're not looking for perfection so why not jump in and create a blog post. There is a button on the page BlogIdeas entitled “Write new post”. (You'll need to be a member of TWikiAdminGroup. Details on how to become a member are on the TWikiAdminGroup itself.)
  • We are currently under utilising blogging as a way to promote TWiki and we are currently looking at ways to correct this. Join the discussion at TWikiBlogStrategy.

Microblogging with Twitter

  • We have a Twitterfeed at http://twitter.com/twikiorg. Please follow if you like.
  • If you follow and post something with "TWiki", it will automatically be taken over in the TWiki.org-Twitterfeed. So if you want something to appear on the TWiki-Twitterfeed do as follows:
    1. Create a Twitter-Account at www.twitter.com.
    2. Go to http://twitter.com/twikiorg and click the follow-button.
    3. Wait until you are acknowledged as "friend" by our twitter-user. You can "nudge" peter.thoeny.public@twikiPLEASENOSPAM.net to speed things up. (To send mail, please remove PLEASENOSPAM.)
    4. Go to http://twitter.com and post your messages and insert the keyword "TWiki" in it.
    5. That's it.

This is the latest Twiki-Buzz:

    Website layout and design

    Everyone's agreed that TWiki.org needs a makeover and work is already underway on the new website. See pages:

    Website performance

    The website currently runs rather slowly and it has been long recognised that this could turn off prospective users of TWiki. Work is underway to improve this and we've been loaned a heavy duty Sun server which will be hosted by TWiki.net. For more information, see NewTWikiOrgServer2008? .

    Merchandising

    Press releases

    Meet-ups

    Sixty people showed up to the first meet up held in Silicon Valley, it was judged a success and another one is planned soon. There are meet ups in the rest of the world too, see TWikiMeetUps for details.
