How To Use ReporTwitters

The site is near LIVE now. I tested how to experiment with it and twittered in the process. Inviting sources to the site was quite a swift process; I emailed them a link to the page and got a reply in minutes.

It’s all very straightforward, but here’s a QUICK TOUR:

Sign up on the ReporTwitter.com site.
Go to Create an Article.
Put your questions up.
Click on the option ‘Article completed’. This means it’s not published yet.

To get all your Twitters to show on this page put the ‘completed time’ at the bottom of the box at a time late tonight. This way your Twitter feed will show up on the page. This adds to setting a scene for people you invite to the page.

This is an example of how I used the page to ask experts questions. Questions To Experts About Lebanon’s Upcoming Elections.

Your sources can leave comments on the page. It is a good idea to email them the questions too.

When you’re done, don’t forget to set the timing button at the bottom of the article box to the time that matches the appropriate Twitter feed.

Experiment with it and see for yourself what happens.
