Interference to Tweet Setlists Etc. for the US Tour

[Anu]

Friends,

I am going to try my hand at tweeting my U2 tour experiences from Chicago, North Carolina, and Atlanta. I will be posting immediate responses & the setlist from the shows themselves.

You can follow us

http://twitter.com/u2interference

I am seeking fun fans & responsible, web/blackberry/iphone savvy people who may want to Tweet their sets & shows for Interference.

Make your application directly to me. Cell phone with internet access required.

Peace!

Thanks for doing this. I'd volunteer but I don't have a web capable phone (YET). I hope some people will be generous enough to help you out.

You don't need internet access to tweet. You can just use text messaging. That's how we did a couple of European shows for U2gigs.com.

Anu, I am now following you rather interference.

I am thinking about tweeting from the Raleigh show.

I may do one of the Foxboro shows. I have a blackberry and it's easy to type on.

I am tweeting from my cell phone, and the deal is as I understand it, only my phone can feed the tweet *as a phone*. But if a person can *log in* to Twitter from their phone using a web connection. If the U2 Gigs guys can teach me, I could do it otherwise.

I am doing the Tweet from Chicago 1 & 2, Raleigh, & Atlanta. I need helpers with all other US dates.

So excited!!!

I may do one from Dallas. I know there aren't as many people doing the Texas shows on here. But, I don't wanna do both cause I wanna enjoy the Houston show and not worry about anything else

You can use more than one cellphone actually. BUT you can only have one active phone at the time. So if you want to change, that person has to text the twitter number and then that phone becomes active. Once someones phone's active, the older number isn't valid anymore.

I can access the twitter site from my phone. I also may d/l twitterberry. If I can get a wifi connection on my ipod touch, I can update through that to save battery life on my blackberry.

Anu, I can actually do both Foxboro shows if you'd like.

I can do the Houston show. I have a BlackBerry and a twitter so I'll be able to

Following the account now.

Thanks for following us, folks.

Please email me off this thread if you would like to tweet for us.

Let me know which shows you're stuck for. I do my own sporadic tweeting but I'm happy to help Interference out if you have a gap in your list of cities.

Fabulous!

Thanks for doing this!

If this wasn't my first U2 show, I'd probably be willing to tweet it. However, the show in Chicago 1, and it seems half the stadium will be filled with Interferers, so finding someone else to tweet it shouldn't be an issue.

Anu, there are a few free twitter applications for iphone (if thats wat ur using) that would make it much quicker for u than trying to log in through safari etc.

Id be happy to for Vegas, LA and Vancouver, however I cant confirm whether I will have internet access as I will be getting a pre-paid sim card when i get to the States

 

[Anu]

I am tweeting Chicago, NC, and ATL. I can tweet directly from my phone since it is the phone connected to the Interference Twitter.

The technical concerns will be for my volunteer Twitter team at the other shows; that is, if I can enlist a volunteer Twitter team!

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

I am smbonneau on twitter for those who wish to follow. I'll probably be doing the Texas shows

Anu, is your plan to have the volunteer Twitter team use the Interference account to tweet the setlists? Or are you following the individual accounts and retweeting?

Ideally, folks could log in to our account from their phones using the web and just do it that way. If someone teaches me how to 'retweet,' & folks want us to retweet them to the Interference feed, that would be fine, too.

I have test tweeted from the phone, & it seems to work.

I want to wear a big sign that says "I am not texting my friends; I am tweeting the setlist to the international fan community."

Yeah, I know what you mean, I was kind of giving evil looks to those who had the nerve to text in the middle of a song.

I was going to attempt to Tweet from Atlanta, but to be honest I have GAs and will probably be jumping, clapping, screaming, etc. too much to even begin to try to type on my phone!

 

[Anu]

Tweeting worked this weekend and I had fun.

So, again, I am tweeting Raleigh and Atlanta. I need folks to tweet ALL the other NA dates *for us* for our Twitter account. There are different ways we can set this up.

Let me know at andy@interference.com if you want to post to U2 Interference (u2interference) on Twitter at your show.

thanks!

I would tweet the setlist for the PHX show (was going to anyway for the people that follow me), but this will be my first U2 show ever, and I'll probably be too excited to do it and all...

 

[Anu]

Well, I made it in one piece to Durham for the U2 conference. I will spark up the tweets again for the conference and the concert this weekend.
