Ian and I chatted about this today.
The problem with tweets is that they don't stick around for very
long. That may also be a benefit.
If others decide to join the fun, then we will end up with rich
fodder for a steady drumbeat of content. That is, why not do both?
If we end up with a deluge of content via Twitter near the
beginning, some "collective we" can harvest from that to put out
blog entries (which have a little more permanence) on a regular
schedule.
We also agreed that--to be really valuable--we should keep it
concise. e.g a screenshot and a paragraph to describe it.
Thoughts?

IMO contests are usually of a limited
duration, so unless we collect the tips and distribute them
piecemeal, running a contest seems to go against the idea of
creating a steady stream of information to keep people
interested. Instead it would create a burst and then nothing.
That said, we can always try and see what happens

How about we make this a contest?
Post a screenshot of Eclipse Mars in action on Twitter with the
following tags: #eclipse #mars #screenshot
We can do something similar with tips and tricks: #eclipse #mars
#tip
and videos: #eclipse #mars #video
I'll aggregate them in regular blog posts. We can aggregate
screenshots into a video (or animated gif).
The screenshot/tip/video with the most favourites at the end of
the cycle wins a prize. Maybe a t-shirt.
Thoughts?

FWIW, I still remember one of the NetBean developers doing a
'screenshot of the week' which showed some cool feature he was
implementing. If we had the 'Feature of the week' or 'Tip of
the week', we could easily promote this out to the community.

I think it would even be worth just
to what's cool in eclipse. Don't need to limit ourself to
Mars.
I agree. But for marketing (actually, more like psychology)
reasons, you are more likely to get eyeballs if you focus on
what's new.
But regardless, the most important point is to create a
steady drumbeat of bit-sized content.
