Auto Tweet

Tweet “Tweet This Page” is a common need for website owners. When you create a page you want to send it to your twitter followers right away. That’s were those ‘add this’ or ‘tweet this’ links come in handy.

This is especially important and vital when you have user or visitor input that you know they want shared. For instance, if you run a video upload site you want the people uploading the videos to tweet their video page to their users. You as a website owner ‘love’ that type of activity. Users are promoting your site!

While this code tweets a shortened link for the page url from which it is clicked, there are other codes that tweet only a static message. When you are trying to promote more than just your home page, this code will work best for that need.

Twitter has a simple input form that you can use on any page of your site to send the shortened page url to their profile. There are other codes that do the same, but this one from twitter has no third party system involved. That is useful if you don’t want your customer sidetracked to other website with it’s own agenda.

However, if you want maximum shareability then you’ll definitely want to include the “AddThis” code on your website.  This third party code has 316 share site options for sharing including Google Buzz, PDFmyURL, LiveJournal, Gmail, Folkd, Mister Wong, Identica, Hyves, Xanga and FriendFeed. It also includes a ‘like this’ button as well as free analytics. This is the best share tool we’ve even seen. And the price is right – FREE.

Hootsuite and ping.fm are my duo secret weapon number 3.

I actually found pingfm first. As I was busy adding all my social network accounts to pingfm I saw their Hootsuite link. I was literally thrilled to found this combination. Not only did I marvel at the cabability of ping, I was positively awed by the possibilities of using them together.

First of all - with a single post in pingfm, the post will simultaneously be sent to major social networks like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, Flickr, LinkedIn, Last.fm, Digg, Classmates.com, Friendster, hi5, Stumble Upon, OkCupid, Match.com, 43 Things, Bebo, Plaxo myYearbook, wayn.com, Yahoo Personals, Orkut, Tagged.com, Reunion.com, Plurk, Ning, Pogo.com, Shelfari, fubar, Adult Friend Finder, Plenty of Fish.com, Xanga, Plaxo Pulse, PalTalk, Friends Reunited, Multiply.com, tumblr.com, Ping.fm, Fitness Singles.com, Pix.ie, mycountryspace, BlackPlanet, mylife.com, ZooLoo, craftynation, Essembly, Chatterbox, schülervz, www.youjustgetme.com, beglobal, MiGente, who remembers me and small worlds.

If that was all there was to pingfm I would be thoroughly thrilled. But here is the second killer feature. You can send your post to pingfm from Hootsuite.

Why is that a big deal you ask? Hootsuite will list all of your twitter profiles and allow you to easily make a tweet simultaneously from one or all of profiles. You can also schedule those tweets for anytime. Plus, you get other screens that show retweets made from any of your profiles tweet – allowing you to retweets or direct message those other people from one or all of profiles.

Hootsuite also contains much more like an auto RSS feed from your blog  (or dare we say it, all of your blogs or anyones blog or RSS feed)!
