GUESTLIST 2016 / ISSUE 88 9 GUESTLIST 1. RSS - Feeds Our pages should be a place where people go to find out new updates, and know that they can rely on it as a good source of information. RSS feeds work by simply taking the information from a websites particular page and regularly updating your page with the information. An example would be if I had a Twitter account about Ferrari cars and I set an RSS feed that took its information from the news page of the official Ferrari website. This would mean that everytime a new piece of news was shown on the Ferrari site it would also be tweeted out on my Twitter page. It's simple but effective as it tweets out automatically so you don't have to. 2. Automatic Direct Messages At the rate social media moves it's harder than ever to get someone's attention and start a dialogue, and there's never a better time than after someone follows you. Set your account to automatically send new followers a direct message to make sure they are aware - it could be something like - " Hey thanks for the follow! You can view my latest video here at ... " 3. Automatic retweets After a while of tweeting you will notice the same select users retweeting and supporting you, they may be fellow artists like yourself or just general users giving you a helping hand. Either way it's always good to give back and a great idea is setting up a list with a select keyword, this basically means it will automatically retweet a users tweet if it contains the keyword which could be your name etc - This is a great feature for all of your friends as you could set them to retweet each other. 4. Gotta #hashtag it With the trending side of twitter rapidly becoming one of its most important features, hashtags are becoming a staple in every media campaign. If it isn't starting your own then using one that is currently trending is imperative for success - make sure you use them. 5. Social media tool suites Instead of addressing all of these individually there are also some all in one tools that feature a lot of these functions such as: Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, SMQueue All of these also let you connect with Facebook and other social media platforms too. More @guestlist It's a different world out there, and the focus has completely shifted to the internet in terms of getting your business out there. So we've taken a look at 5 ways that we can up our Twitter game. The clues have all been there, but finally we officially know that The Avalanches are back. It's been 16 years since the Australian sample-tweaking electronica group smashed it their globally successful debut album Since I Left You. After their land mark album the group went very quiet, until recently anyway. There have been little hints and voxes for years about a possible new album, and they've been really cooking up this year as the group posted videos online, have been billed at festivals around the world and posters appearing across their homeland, mostly all asking a simple question: 'since they left us - what ever happened to The Avalanches?' Well wonder no more, as after years of hints and teases the first new material from them was played. Following the global premier of 'Frank Sinatra' by Zane Lowe, The Avalanches have circulated the artwork for the group's second album and the title, WIldflower and is expected to be out later this year. Played one Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, the lords of sample play had their new record 'Frank Sinatra' played. It's the first taste of the upcoming album Wildflower album which is rumoured to feature huge names including Danny Brown, MF Doom, and Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux across 21 tracks. The Aussie band will be bringing their epic, fun loving electronica sounds to the UK at Brighton's Wild Life - full details here. It's been 16 years since they left us, but finally the avalanches are back 5 WAYS TO UP YOUR TWITTER GAME THE AVALANCHES For parties go to guestlist.net FEATURE
