The Global People Project uses scheduled tweets in order to keep followers interested and excited about the project, as well as informing them of their future plans for the material. I have been using short clips of answers and photographs from the projects' vast archive, followed by #globalpeopleproject, and also a relevant hash-tag to the subject of the quote or video, in order to allow people to find the posts, which will post periodically for the next year.

I also assisted by doing the same for Facebook which I was more familiar with, although I didn't know how it could be used by an organisation.
I also learnt that posting at specific times in the day (early morning, lunchtime and early evening) ensure maximum people have a chance to view the tweets as these times are roughly when people are not at work or are having a break and will probably check their Twitter feed. As this project is global, I also varied the scheduled posting times to suit places like America and Australia, as these have large populations, as well as using times to suit people in England.
I think today will come in useful for my own future projects; using social media to generate interest and support. I already knew how Facebook worked to do this but now I have the additional option of using Twitter to reach thousands of people worldwide.
