Tweet differently.

Everyone else is tweeting where the march is, where it’s going, how many people there are… Zzzz. Why do you want to be like them? Find your own voice, present things a little differently and maybe you’ll get noticed.

Vine it up.

If you get lucky and Vine decide to feature your clip on the app, your Vine could reach 100,000+ loops. Plus Vines are fun and people like seeing them on Twitter.

This Vine got 120,000 loops and it’s just people walking!

Stick with the troublemakers.

If in doubt, follow the black bloc. If you don’t know what that is, follow the guy with the firework/flare/can of smoke/insert-illegal-item-here to get the best view of the action.

Here’s BuzzFeed’s Siraj Datoo almost getting hit by a firework.

Be funny.

Too many people on too many protests tweet serious things too much of the time. Break the trend and maybe you’ll get trending. Eh! Sorry. PS Russell Brand loved this.

Listen.

I once overheard a student declare his opposition to free education at a free education demo. People say funny and interesting things all the time so keep your ears peeled.

"Have you got your handcuffs just in case?" overheard from police officer at the rear end of the demo #FergusonToLondon

Tweet fast and accurately.

Just don’t libel anyone, yeah? If there’s no way to confirm something, it’s always best to just not tweet.

It’s easy to not tweet, I’m doing it right now.

Now go tweet this article.
