The first step in organising a tweetstorm is to select a name that is relative to your
topic and short.
second It is a good idea to organise a list of tweets prior to the storm so others are
able to copy and paste. this makes it more likely they will help. a nice way to form
such a list is to use http://piratepad.net/front-page/ here is an example from
the #OpJustice4Ayla campiagn http://piratepad.net/6wh3yAr580
If you choose to participate in a Tweet storm it is best to post 1 tweet per 5 minutes
at the appointed time. You can send more than 1 Tweet per minute but be aware of the
limitations Twitter has to 116 an hour and 1000 Tweets in a day. Send more than these
limits and your account may end up in "TwitterJail:"

Re-tweets do NOT trend the hashtags - in order to trend the hashtags,
you MUST copy/paste. Also, tweets with more than 3 hashtags DO NOT HELP the tags trend.
a powerful way to increase any tweets reach is to use a current trending tag in the
tweet as well as the storm tag. you must use descretion when doing this however, if
you use this technique aggressively twitter will censor your tags from reaching search
their claim will be "hash tag abuse" if this happens create a sock account to reach tags.
I was censored for over 2 years :P
The storm goes on as long as people are tweeting, most are for 24 hours or less however.
If you send all the tweets you may re-use any you have posted by simply changing 1
character in the tweet, twitter doesnt allow duplicate tweets but it only takes 1
character to change to avoid detection.
for those who want to participate but cant be online during the event, you can use
this site http://gremln.com to schedule tweets to go out during the proper time.It also
allows you to connect more than twitter account
I use this service even when i am online so i can time the tweets and not skip a beat
