So what is #BeckBromFL all about and how can it help me as a business or a Bromley local? Read this to find out.

#BeckBromFL stands for the Beckenham/Bromley Follow Ladder. Conceived just over 12 months ago as a beacon to flag local information from companies and individuals to Bromley's tweeting community.

Use your search option and type in #BeckBromFL and importantly save this search. The search will reveal many Bromley companies sharing business information, promotions and twitter offers. It will also show tweets from individual tweeters in the area who need local information. Call up the search regularly and follow all users who use #BeckBromFL in their tweets.

For businesses, #BeckBromFL is a direct-line to one of the largest local tweeting networks in the South-East and is growing daily. Members retweet for other members and using the # guarantees local follows but there are a few rules for businesses using the #. These rules make it work more efficiently and fairly for everyone.

Rule number 1 - Thank non-business tweeters that RT your tweets. Instead of thanking businesses that RT your tweets, RT one of their promotional tweets instead. #BeckBromFL operates an RT for RT policy. If you don't do this, you will find that people will not bother helping you promote your business, they will RT someone else!

Rule number 2 - Every day on #BeckBromFL look out for the #bizoftheday. Try and retweet at least once for each daily business who is the nominated #bizoftheday. Your retweet from them puts you in with a chance to be selected as #bizoftheday for the following day. Being in the spotlight as #bizoftheday can gain you literally, hundreds of retweets. The most so far is just under 300!! #bizoftheday resumes on 3rd January.

Rule number 3 - As well as retweeting in kind for those companies who RT you, please choose several #BeckBromFL tweets to RT to your followers each day. I like to vary my 'free-choice' tweets to keep it interesting for my followers.

Rule number 4 - Make sure you follow and follow-back users of the network. The more involved you get, the more you will receive back.

Rule number 5 - Please only add #BeckBromFL to your tweets if you are in Bromley or close surrounding areas otherwise it becomes non-sensical.

If you would like any help in getting to grips with using twitter for business and would like one to one coaching please DM. I hope this clarifies things somewhat.

Regards, Lynda

Counted back the #hashtag from last night and found 63 local twitterers had joined in at some point last night. Well done everybody! Good to see some new names. Remember to tell your followers to use the #BeckBromFL hashtag for more local contacts - it's about 'local' , not just business, just a great twitter network at your fingertips of helpful and lovely locals.

Don't forget the 30th May actual physical meetup - see below for details - always great fun putting profile names to faces and cementing even better freindships and help

Did a countback and w had 47 'local' tweeps pop in and post during the #BeckBromFL tweetup on Tuesday night.  A great turn out considering it's a holiday week and many regulars away. Nice to see a fair few new twitterers join in too

The first #BeckBromFL real life meet-up was a resounding success last Thursday. The generous and most organised hostess with the mostess Lynda. owner of Baccarat Hair Salon in the High Street, hosted the brilliant night. Part business folks, part local residents - everyone local - was the perfect mix.

What started out as an online group of 5-60 individuals all with Twitter as their communication platform showed that in a few weeks new friendships could be created and a sense of neighbourly harmony is on the up in the borough.

There was magnificent food, the drink was flowing, attentive waitresses, bon homie and some amazing magic that even used the group’s Twitter platform to provide a spooky finale to astound us all.

It started at 8pm, and whilst most of the 60 or so who came along departed around midnight, some hardcore friends were there in to the small hours.

Putting faces to profile names was a game everyone was playing. Mine, well my profile might have been well known; I’ve probably retweeted everyone in that room several times; but it was great for many to work out who was behind the @Beckenham tweets once and for all.

Even then not everyone got to meet everyone on the night so a second meet-up looks odds on to happen. Perhaps this time a local bar or restaurant would like the chance to host what I bet will be far more than 60 locals at the next one? The Beckenham and Bromley Twitter following grows bigger every day.

Big thanks to everyone, they all had a part to play and the evening, let alone the online neighbourhood we are creating would be nothing without everyone’s input. We are already looking forward to the next one and meeting all those who were unable to attend this one and the more new followers of #BeckBromFL too.

Yes, the hangover has finally gone, the memories and new friendships will last forever. Well at least until the next time!

Thanks Lynda et al

Jon @Beckenham

9-10pm Thursday 23rd February, #BeckBromFL 3rd Tweetup online - pass it on & RT - let's get more than 60 this time

Comment by Jon Clarke on February 19, 2012 at 18:03

There is a planned real world meet-up of local Beckenham/Bromley etc twitterers which is open to everyone and is being tweeted daily about using the hashtag #BeckBromFL. The event is on the 15 March, Thursday night 8pm-10pm at Baccarat Hair Salon in Beckenham High Street.

There were 50 tickets available from Lynda at Baccarat so pop in to the salon and pick up yours - they cost £5 and the money goes to buy the food and drink for the night.

This is an inaugural event and let's hope it brings together a lot of locals from all over to make new friends, put names to faces and network and laugh.

Tweet, Facebook Like or Email this page to your friends too and see you there on the 15th March

Comment by Jon Clarke on February 1, 2012 at 22:09

The second #BeckBromFL tweetup took place last night. The Mayor Of Bromley joined around 60 locals who tweeted in from all over borough, sharing life, work and recommendations. Lots of new friends and followers were made and @Baccarat_Hair offered a live venue for a real life meetup on the 15th March at her salon. It's an all ticket affair and more details on where and when these are available will be posted later, so either check back here over the next few days or search Twitter on #BeckBromFL to find out.
