#PawsUpUK - support charity and get more followers

Paws Up UK is a charity dedicated to looking after Police Dogs who retire from active duty.  You can check their web page here pawsup.org.uk.  There's nothing else like it in the UK.

The generous people at Tactical Electronics UK will donate £1 for every Tweet or RT that features the hashtag, up to a maximum of £1000, from 8PM tomorrow night.  Needless to say, that's a lot of cash for a worthwhile UK charity.  All you have to do is either tweet that tag, or RT one of the many tags with the hashtag on it, and that will translate into real hard cash for charity.

To help give them a boost, I will hold a Beardcall from 8PM to 9PM tomorrow night.  This is a real easy way to gain a large number of followers in one go. 

All you have to do to join in is to tweet me the hashtag , between 8PM and 9PM (UK Time) on the 6th of June 2013.  I will then put all the names into a list.  I tweet the list to all my followers.  Everyone in the list agrees to follow each other.  So let's say 100 people are in the list, and they aren't already following each other, then they should each obtain 99 new followers.

Even if you don't care about followers, please tweet or RT the hashtag  as it will turn into a £1 for charity.

There are a number of ways you can find the  list, even if you didn't take part:-
1.  Use the search bar in Twitter to search for  and then find the list by scrolling through "all" tweets.  Don't use the "top" tweets search.  The list should be obvious as a number of tweets with the tag  at the end.  This didn't work on the night of the original BeardCall as it was inundated with so many tweets it developed an over capacity error.  However if that happens it should work the next day.

2.  Go into my profile and then into "my tweets", then scroll down for the list.

3.  As the list is tweeted by me, simply favourite each tweet, then you can view them (and follow) all at your leisure (from the "my favourites" list).  I think this is probably the best way to do it whilst it's happening live.

The best way to make the most of beardcall is to both be on the list and follow everyone on the list. Several tweeps RT the list too, so you should be able to get more followers than the actual number of tweeps on the list, as their followers also follow you.

There are only 3 rules:-
1.  Tweet me  between 8PM and 9PM on the 6th of June 2013.
2.  Follow everyone on the  list (intend to tweet this from 8pm onwards)
3.  You must follow @ on Twitter.


Thanks for listening:  The Beard. {;~{)}
