Many staunch supporters of Glenn Beck have launched various letter writing campaigns to let advertisers who dropped The Glenn Beck Show know that we will be boycotting their companies for standing with the extremists who have demanded they pull their ads from the Glenn Beck Show.

DefendGlenn.com is on such website that has been launched to support Glenn Beck. Please visit their website and join their campaign http://www.defendglenn.com/advertisers.php.

They also have a twitter page. So far, they only have 32 followers. Freepers lets support them by following them on twitter and organizing our internet army to show the extremists that we will not be silenced!

Glenn Beck is one of our strongest voices out there. Mess with him, you mess with us and our values. Let's help defeat the haters who wish to silence this great American Patriot.

I don’t know the first thing about twitter.

sell me on it please.

[FrdmLvr]

Ditto that guy. I’d like to join it just for a show of force for Glenn Beck, but I don’t know the first thing about it.

[Texas Fossil]

Thanks for head’s up.

Am following now.

Not my preferred form of internet communication yet, but can be useful.

Go to twitter.com and create an account. Then search for Glenn Beck first and when you get to his page, click on Follow. You will then see his tweets when you log into Twitter. You can reply to them too. You can search out DefendGlenn the same way.

It’s kinda an abbreviated form of email.

I joined Twitter a while back when Sarah Palin joined. I tried getting on it today with the P.W. that I originally logged in and it would not accept it. So I logged in and clicked onto the forgot P.W. and it took me to a new login to create a new P.W. Then I clicked and either nothing would come up or the time lapsed and I would have to start all over again. Plus when I was on it I really just didn’t enjoy it. You are not able to respond like on a forum such as this. I guess it is ok if you want to read what is going on but I just can’t get into how to communicate on it.

Twitter is an excellent networking tool to communicate with like minded people and to share information. I use it to communicate with conservatives, share latest political news, pass along action alerts such as polls and join campaigns such as DefenGlenn.com. Below are twitter basics and helpful links that will help you get started. I hope this helps. What is Twitter? Twitter is considered microblogging. Well, that narrows it down, doesn’t it? Twitter is a place where you can send quick little snippets of information about what you are doing. You can also reply to what other people are doing in small snippets. It is a bit like Instant Messaging with the world or updating your status on Facebook or LinkedIn. You may find it slightly more fun than blogging because you can have real time conversations with people. Also, you get little glimpses into people’s lives that you might not see just from their blogs. Tweets It has to be small snippets because Twitter only allows you to send messages that are 140 characters or less. That’s right, just 140 characters. So these tiny little messages you send with Twitter are referred to as “tweets.” Why Would I Be Interested In Twitter? Is Twitter a Time Waster? There are lots of reasons to be interested in Twitter many of which boil down to finding another way to waste time on the internet. But, there really are some cool reasons to use it that do not take too much time. * Twitter for Blog Promotion - When used correctly, Twitter can be a powerful tool in your arsenal to promote your blog. Darren Rowe of Problogger has 2 posts on this: Twitter Tips for Bloggers and Benefits of Twitter for Bloggers. How to Get Started with Twitter Now if you are convinced of a reason or two to use Twitter, you may be wondering just how to use it. 1. Setup a Twitter Account - Go to http://twitter.com/ and click the “Get Started - Join” button. After joining, you will fill out your username and password. The next page will search through your address book to see if any of your friends are already on Twitter or you can skip this step. Now, you are ready to start “tweeting.” 2. Use Twitter Through twitter.com - There are many options for how to use Twitter. The most obvious way is through the Twitter website. You can enter your comments about what you are doing or reply to others through your Twitter homepage. In the box underneath the question “What Are You Doing?,” type your first tweet and press update. 3. Use Twitter Through Your Cell Phone - From your Twitter home page, select Device Updates: Now you will enter your country code (ie. “1″ for the United States) with a “+” before it and then your phone number. Standard text messaging rates apply so make sure you have a liberal texting plan on your cell phone. Check the box that gives Twitter permission to send you text messages. Then twitter will send your phone a text and you will have to confirm it. At that point, you can use your phone to send tweets. So whenever and wherever the mood strikes, you can send a tweet from your cell phone. Follow and Be Followed Twitter becomes much more fun and useful as you follow more people and they follow you. The larger the number of people you follow and who follow you, the more likely you are to have questions answered and to learn interesting things. The more people you are following the more opportunity you have for conversations and to develop relationships. There are a lot of people who will follow you automatically if you follow them. You can search for users by name, location, or keywords. I found some people who I follow who also live in the Atlanta area and some others who also have twins. When you find a user you want to follow, you click “Follow” underneath their avatar to follow them. At this point you can select whether or not you want their tweets sent to your cell phone or IM application. If you are going to a conference you, might want to turn the device option on for the others who will be there with you. http://www.sarahjoaustin.com/2009/03/true-beginners-guide-to-twitter-basic-twitter-functions/ http://jenuinejen.com/2008/04/29/twitter-for-dummies/

I joined it!

Also wrote to SC Johnson as well as Sargento and gave them a piece of my mind. Didn’t realize Travelocity also joined this! I’ll have to close my account with them too!

Progressive Insurance? The name should be a warning.

Interesting concept... and it does sound like fun.

But I see some very real potential benefit to the CIA if it were to be abused.

Not to sound like a Conspiracy Theorist or anything,
but this trend seems to have come on pretty darn fast... so popular... even Palin is into it.

I would probably be careful about what I put into my tweets.
It’s amazing how trained professionals can put stuff together from seemingly casual conversation.

Again... my gut reaction comes from zero experience with Twitter and is based solely on concept, so I’ll have to look a little closer...

Thanks! Good sell.
