Tweetshare Updates for Everyone!
April 23 2010Tweetshare has been out there in the wild now for a little over a month– a huge shout out to all of you who have made this a wildly successful launch. We’ve had more than 150,000 people visit us since launch, with thousands using Tweetshare to share their content and create discussions.
Best of all, some of the world’s coolest brands – including Zappos, HBO, Ubisoft, Career Builder and many more – are using Tweetshare as an outpost to engage their communities.
Be sure to create a free Tweetshare Fan Page for your business or interest today – its mind-numbingly-simple to setup, and will give you a nice, friendly place to share stuff with your followers.
Today we’re pleased to announce that Tweetshare is even easier to use, with more features to help you share your lives online. Please keep telling us what we can do to make Tweetshare better – this is an iterative process, and your feedback helps us prioritize and streamline.
Here’s what’s new:
- Added Twitter @anywhere hovercards – so you can learn more about the people who are posting by simply rolling over their image.
- Discussions no longer require content attached – of course, we recommend content for engagement, but we’re not making the choice for you – simple text questions are fine now.
- Promote your fan page – we’ve added a “tell your friends” button that allows you to send a customized tweet letting people know about your fan page (your friends can do the same).
- Post directly to a fan page – now instead of the fan page pulling in from your stream, you can post directly on the page itself.
- Improved Analytics – Your “my discussions page” has richer analytics – check it out be logging in.
- Unlimited fan pages – we were capping you at 5, but now you can create as many fan pages as you think the universe can handle.
- Oauth, not Basic Auth – We’ve implemented the most up-to-date Twitter authentication to keep your identity secure!
- HTML5 Video Support – Watch your videos on Tweetshare on your iPad or iPhone.
This is meant to be easy, fun, and simple, so post something new today. Perhaps an embarrassing picture of when you were in a band in high school?
Thanks again for helping us get out of the gates at a full sprint – we hope you’ll continue to share your thoughts and feedback with us so Tweetshare can continue to evolve as a platform and help you get the most out of your Twitter experience.
Rock on,
Patrick Moran, Tweetshare
