Thank You!

I didn’t get through but I learned a lot to think and automate.

Some of my tweets are as below :

“A rose is a rose is a rose and a tweet is a tweet is a tweet is a shortcut is a ISB!”

“A true differentiating campaign making the journey to ISB with tweets at a distance of a stone's throw”

“Each passing minute by is worthy to contribute towards this campaign loading the applicatn with 140 to ISB!”

“A tweet well written of 140 for ISB is like the pen being mightier than the sword!”

“When Marketing and Technology combines something brilliant can happen over a campaign!”

Results of Day 3: Chilling out; Enjoying Feedback

I was at different places living my life; they inspired me to write more for them at night!

Day 4: Recognition of Day 3 : An RBTC Mug

I had worked on third party for HCL to setup Alumni program

with the tagline

Once and ideapreneur, Always and ideapreneur!

Lucky enough to get a chance to live what we created and to take

the relationship beyond the contract outside for HCL being ex-

ideapreneur!

The questions that were running back of my mind on Day 4 was more and more content for next day !!

It was not easy to read phrases and tweak them for the campaign !

Day 5: 140 characters were getting hard for continuous tweets

This was unexpected ! It changed everything !

Competition realized it!

From my experience writing solid content is difficult and time consuming!

What could have been best is Retweet HCL , re-tweet people or keep talking about the numbers reached! Watch. Tweet. Retweet!

Re-tweeted some and worked ahead for Day 6’s content!

Day 5: Ready lets Tweet Again Competition was re-tweeting faster!

Everybody wants Maximum tweets!

I was also in the flow and tweeted every minute!

Some people really got angry!

An Earthquake that shook me! Lets stop the BOT !

I had almost left it there but was glad to see this :

Writing different content can really strike! & I didn’t stop it!

Day 6

Danger

Day 7: Late night Tweeting & Finished it

Lets make tweet count for others as well!

6 Days and lot of efforts filled with Momentum!

The Journey Was Beautiful Indeed!
