I think Axl might freak out with all the tweets
No, it's not like that. We won't spam him. The idea is to post only the hash tag (the one with # in the beginning) to our twitters and each one can write s message along with it but
not
putting "@axlrose". The # tag doesn't show up on Axl's twitter as mentions. He'll only see it if eventually we really make it to the "trending topics" because like someone said here, it shows on everyone's twitter page around the world. If we make it to the trending topics, then everyone, including Axl, by clicking on the tag will see all of the posts related, therefore all of our messages.
IMO is a great way to show him our support and love!
We should start on 0:01AM California time, since I assume that's where he'll be for his birthday. That's UTC/GMT -8 hours or Pacific Standard Time (PST).
does it have to be the same messaage for it to become a trend one, we should make one message and post it so everyone makes it the same (if thats the case) (im new to twitter)

I think to make it a trend, we better start a bit earlier than est hits the 6th.
Maybe like as early as Christmas Island time, UTC/GMT +14 hours which is 19hrs ahead of htgth time.
I'll start tweeting a couple hours before the 6th. I believe this way we'll have some more time to get to TT. Anyway, my local time is about 5 hours ahead...

The tag should be #happybirthdayaxl, not "uncle" Axl. The point is, we want to let the world know we love Axl, so no need to input this "internal joke".
To the twitter newbies, everybody has to use the exact same tag if we want to make a trending topic, but the message before can be different.

Sorry if this is a silly question but how "exact" does it have to be? Does case matter?
Is #

appy
b
irthday
a
xl considered exactly the same as #

B

What an excellent idea. I'm participating in this for sure.
Also, if anyone here does NOT have a Twitter account - or is too technoscared of signing up on their own
- but would still like to participate, let me know and I'll set it up for you. You can always just change the password after, but I think this is a great idea and would like to get as many people involved as possible.
PM me if you need assistance and I'll take care of it for you (self-professed Twitter junkie).

As far as I know, it doesn't have to be exact. A trending topic just has to be a topic that's getting a lot of tweets, it doesn't need to contain exactly the same text at all. If you want to search for the topic though, it's easier to find if you include the hashtag (#) and the same wording. Plus, it's easier to copy and paste if it's the same.
Twitter will count your tweets if you just put Happy Birthday Axl! or if you put #happybirthdayaxl, but sometimes they stop counting a trend if it's determined that people are spamming. I'm not sure how they determine that. This is from the Twitter 'Trending Topics' help page:
Stay Trendy
Besides observing and participating trends, it is also possible to abuse them, but of course, this is against the Twitter Rules. The following behaviors and others like them could cause your account to be filtered from search or even suspended:
* Adding one or more topic/hashtag to an unrelated tweet in an attempt to gain attention in search.
* Repeatedly tweeting the same topic/hashtag without adding value to the conversation in an attempt to get the topic trending/trending higher.
* Tweeting about each trending topic in turn in order to drive traffic to your profile, especially when mixed with advertising.
* Listing the trending topics in combination with a request to be followed.
* Tweeting about a trending topic and posting a misleading link to something unrelated.

Ah, thanks for the info. So I guess it'll be more of a one and done type thing, unless you can get real creative and think of different ways to incorporate Axl's birthday into tweets.

Yes, only tweet #happybirthdayaxl one time each or we risk getting it shut done.

thanks
so i can't tweet/retweet about this so many times but altering it like adding dear, uncle or whatever is ok after all.
