Hello, Fedora Activists! We are a group of students from Allegheny College who have dedicated ourselves to promoting Fedora by using Twitter. We created a Wiki page in order to encourage others to try fedora and promote Twitter. This page will be edited regularly with updates, links, and etiquette for using Twitter to promote Fedora.
Promoting Fedora by using Twitter
Our Goal. . .
To promote Fedora 13 in an effort to expand the community, by using Twitter
Why should we use Twitter?
- Twitter is effective at reaching large audience
- We are capable of giving many updates on Fedora 13 throughout the day, which keeps followers in involved in the process
- It allows Fedora to reach an untapped, less technically interested group of users

Case Studies of Twitter success
NAKEDPizza: The company, started in New Orleans, is attempting to make healthy pizza in an effort to battle obesity in the United States. When they were getting started in 2006, they decided that sending out the typical newsletters that other franchises send would be too costly, almost $3000 a year. They decided to use Twitter as a free alternative to the print advertising, Twitter has since become one of the biggest parts of the business, and is even used in their store allowing customers to sign up and begin following the company when they pick up pizza.
