I saw a blog post the other day that talked about offering up quotes within the writing that you do, but doing it in such a way that the readers can instantly tweet the quote to their Twitter followers if they think it's worthy enough.
I liked the idea, so I decided to implement it myself. My first post with this integration included was last night's post, Back home from the holiday.
The idea with it is to make it easier for readers to share something of interest to their followers, which is to ultimately make it easier for me to increase my exposure of this site to new people that might normally never get to know about it.
I also liked the idea because it encourages me to come up with something snappy in my writing, something I can use as a 'Tweet this' kind of quote. I like the encouragement to my creativity.
What about you? Do you think it's too much, too cheezy? Do you like it or hate it? Please let me know what you think.
Hmm, as i am NOT a fan of these things, I'd say a tad cheesy and somewhat presumptuous! UP to you of course.
ReplyDeleteYou asked for MY 2c, you got it! ;oP
And I'm thankful for your 2c :)
ReplyDeleteDo you think it detracts from the appearance or feel of this site? Is it a bad thing, or just a thing you have no interest in?
No, the appearance is fine Allan. IDK if it's a good or bad, thing, but I definitely do NOT have any interest in Twitter feeds et al.
ReplyDeleteCheers.

ReplyDeleteso far you've used it. So I'll continue using it - but only occasionally, only when I have something that I think could be tweeted.
