A pony named Foal Papers has taken up My Little Pony's official tweeted challenge of getting the twitter tag #MyLittlePony to trending status. Wondering what that is, or why you should care? Foal Papers has written a nicely-formatted (lovely typesetting, by the way) Tumblr post that explains everything quite nicely.
Find that here.
Basically, what you need to know is: between 6AM and 10AM on Saturday, you should use that hashtag. Twitter will count the occurrences of it and hopefully we can get it to 'trending' status.
There's more info in the post. Get cracking!

ReplyDeleteWoo, go Foal Papers! Love you, man.
ReplyDeletelol that image
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I don't really care, Twitter is one of those things I never got behind, but uh, go bronies! Trend the shit out of MLP!
ReplyDeleteAll you had to say was "FLY MY PRETTIES! FLY!", Cereal.
ReplyDeleteThat was perfect timing too, I only got my Twitter account a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteNope. Don't have twitter, don't want it.
ReplyDelete*Two thumbs way up for Foaly* :D Got my hashtag at the ready!
ReplyDeleteCome on Bronies let's do this.
ReplyDeleteThere are a bunch of far worse shows than MLPFIM that trend on Twitter constantly.
We must correct this injustice.
@mycutiemarkisagun
ReplyDeleteCan't beat the classics.
lets do this
ReplyDeletethe amount of detail is AMAZING!!! their eyes dilate when the light changes /)^3^(\
ReplyDelete@T-God
ReplyDeleteLOL wrong post
Ah...classic Molestia. Shame I don't use Twitter. I'll cheer the rest of you guys on!
ReplyDeletehehheh…….her horn's bigger.
ReplyDeletemy mind is so dirty.
I'll get an account for this. Heck, I'll get ten. Just like all the rest of you should be doing.
ReplyDeleteDarn it! You mean I started to soon!?
ReplyDelete@banannagram
ReplyDeletebut i lack cell phone...
Doesn't have a twitter account.
ReplyDeleteTold MyLittlePony wants to be on trending.
Makes a twitter account.
@banannagram
ReplyDeleteExactly.
Think of it as showing your patriotism to the show and fandom.
Alright, I'm game. Especially since I'll be up around 8am to have breakfast and watch the new episode.
ReplyDeletegetting MLP to trend on twitter?
ReplyDeleteI approve of this, and will definitely be taking part...
@wackyteen
ReplyDeleteYou don't need a cellphone. All you need is any kind of computer.
@wackyteen
ReplyDeleteYou don't need a cell phone. You can tweet via the interwebs, too.
If it's already on Tumblr, let it be tumblr.
ReplyDeleteTwitter Sucks. You don't get the stuff Equestria Daily or Facebook has. Real Fandom.
Here's a little visual aide, let's make it happen!

ReplyDeleteWow, half the reasons that guy gives for doing it are actually good reasons for NOT doing it as far as I'm concerned, and the rest are non-reasons at all.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I'm already starting. I'm so excited about part 2!
ReplyDeleteI made a Twitter account just so I can participate in this.
ReplyDeleteI got a twitter account, lets do this!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not sure if the early broadcast time will deny MLP trending status, it's definitely worth a try.
ReplyDeleteOn twitter in general, I never used to like it, because when I first got it I did what everyone does and just followed random celebrities, found it boring as hell.
Now my feed's mostly friends mixed in with authors, journalists and comedians I like, and it's great.
I honestly never understand the Twitter hate.
ReplyDeletePeople act like it's voodoo or something.
And the saddest thing is that Twitter is perfect for bronies. Want to talk about MLP but don't want the hassle of loging into some chatroom? Just search "#MLPFIM" using the Twitter search engine and just dive right in.
Or let's say you want to see what people think of the cutie mark crusaders but don't want to wallow through 10 pages of forum posts on some MLP message board.
Just search "Cutie Mark Crusaders" using Twitter search.
The possibilities are, like ENDLESS. Choose any phrase from the show "20% cooler", "Trollestia", "Secret Butt Fun", "Discord Q" and you get a ton of fan reactions to those. Twitter just makes it easier to see fan reaction than anything else which is why all the companies are using Twitter for market research.
Or let's say you want to see what the voice of Twilight Sparkle is like in real life. Follow @tarastrong on Twitter.
Or what's showrunner Jayson Thiessen up to? Follow @goldenrusset on Twitter. And he's not on Facebook, or Deviantart, or Tumblr or Google + he's on Twitter.
Twitter = Great
Hating on Twitter = Oatmeal
Guys just so you know i avtually got hasbro to convice twitter users to try to trend ponies.
ReplyDeleteFoal papers has only reminded us to get this trending. We can do this
Wow. I knew there was a reason to get a Twitter! IT'S IS WHAT THE PROPHECY FORETOLD!
ReplyDeleteFoal, you owe me a drink.
ReplyDeleteOh... Well... A 'thank you is nice too."
*grumblegrumble*
Great. Now I need a Twitter account.
ReplyDeleteHmm I guess I gotta sign up on twitter now
ReplyDeleteTime to go get my old Twitter account.
ReplyDeleteI still don't see how Twitter is "easy". Every time I've used Twitter was confusing and information overload. I just can't keep up with Twitter, it makes my brain hurt. Damn, I'm getting old aren't I?
ReplyDeleteI'm already following and rooting for Foalpapers, will definitely do my share tomorrow. Let's make this our own #FF!
ReplyDeleteGotta get Twitter and do this then.
ReplyDeleteYep, this is happening.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a twitter account I'd participate.
ReplyDelete*sigh* now I have to go get a twitter account -_-
ReplyDeleteJust signed up for Twitter, the things I for ponies.
ReplyDeleteReblogged and tweeted. Cause I'm lame to have twitter and tumblr.
ReplyDeleteHas twitter. Doesn't know why. Never uses it.
ReplyDeleteAw, doesn't seem we managed to make it trend this time… let's try to do it next episode! Everypony be prepared! And keep using that #MyLittlePony tag whenever you do pony related tweets. ;3
ReplyDeleteIn case anyone is curious how close we where to make #MyLittlePony trend? We reached a top ratio of 0.02% on twitter (which was the hour right before the new episode aired) - One of the bottom trending topics NRLmelwar had a top ratio of 0.05%. We can do better than this Bronies - I'll say it again, we'll be ready next episode, huhu! x3
ReplyDeleteA lot of west coast and even central bronies probably don't wake up in time for the episode, it might be better to hold an event like this past 9PST.
