Take your twitter follower count viral by giving content away combined with wordpress + twitcapt http://www.twitcapt.com/ #
RT @thedesktoptutor: New blog entry: The DesktopTutor – Membership Launch Date Set http://thedesktoptutor.com/blog/?p=101 #
@Riarocco You can also have something of value to give, and ask them to follow you for it using something like http://www.twitcapt.com/ #
@DanBrawn Did you know you could achieve this tool, using a simple wordpress plugin called twitcapt? http://www.twitcapt.com/ #
@Will_00 : I would still want the query string to pass thru if it was done after the shorting, regardless of if a QS was already in shorter in reply to Will_00 #
@davidplappert What kind of trouble? Isn’t it always better to be a light in a dark place, then to hide the light from the dark? #
@will_00 Will give you an example… Lets say, I give you the url blah.com/blah.html?blah=1 and you shorten that to abc.com/1234 then… #
@Will_00 I would like to be able to do abc.com/1234?blah2=blah and have that end up going to blah.com/blah.html?blah=1&blah2=blah #
@will_00 It’s probably a stupid idea since your shortening a url… I just know it was something I could have used the other day… 🙂 #
@SUSAN_NUGENT SBI is not free to @Ann_Sieg affiliates (last time I checked)… What video says it is? in reply to SUSAN_NUGENT #
@iAmGoldenboy You might find http://www.twitcapt.com/ useful if your looking for ways to integrate wordpress and twitter #
@TwitMarketing Have you seen Twitcapt (http://www.twitcapt.com/). It’s free WordPress plugin for promoting viral twitter promos #
@davidplappert TMI! in reply to davidplappert #
@belindaang Have a wordpress blog? Combined with free content and twitcapt.com you might be able to get your follower count on the rise in reply to belindaang #
@willc wow… and I get an insanely short url… sweet! http://iji.gd/i #
@Will_00 uh… bug: allows invalid urls to be entered (see rinsefirst.com, without http:) #
rinsefirst super short: http://iji.gd/k JR – super short: http://iji.gd/l MM – http://iji.gd/m MM- http://iji.gd/p #
Want a SUPER short url? Use iji.gd (it’s brand new, and still has 1 and 2 char urls avail!) #
@willc You should contact the creator of tweetdeck, see if you can get yours added to the list (if you have API) #
@barista_angel – check out iji.gd #
RT @Will_00: Ya! Just finished http://iji.gd – the world’s shortest URL shortener Features: Member Login, Link Tracking #
RT @kevinrose: my last minute iphone v3.0 software rumors: http://tinyurl.com/d6nk57 #
Tell someone you care today… send them a free CUSTOM greeting card on me: http://iji.gd/A (first 100 people only) #
DesktopTutor going live soon! Get on their prenotification list: http://iji.gd/B #
@Will_00 Gotta admit… loving being in on the ground level! #
@jiao_tu One of these days I plan on hitting a Star Trek con :-/ #
@thedesktoptutor Sweet short url for you to use: http://iji.gd/B #
@Will_00 Any way to claim a URL you created BEFORE you created an account? #
@Will_00 If I type in a url that’s already been put in your system, would that do it? (like would it show the previously used URL?) #
@will_00 syntax error: http://iji.gd/pre.php line 99 #
@Will_00 – My list: query string thing from yesterday, API, daily clicks vs. total clicks (or full analytics like bit.ly)… #
@will_00 – Otherwise, just rocks to have another one of these… Thanks for letting me bother you all night :-). #
@wefollow #blogger #tech #marketer #
@redsai Busier than ever… :-), yourself? in reply to redsai #
@Will_00 XHTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, C#, and I dabble in about a dozen others. in reply to Will_00 #
@Will_00 Creating an API is kind of up to you in how you want to implement it… Generally speaking though, you dont output html, just raw #
@Will_00 I would look into SOAP #
I think I’ve done more flash in the last month than I have in the last 4 years: last time I’ve spent this much time in Flash, I was ART1601 #
Why is it I never hear people ask for A/S/L on twitter… Maybe I’m crazy… (I’m glad people don’t though) #
@belindaang Being rich vs. having friends on twitter… I’d take being rich… Your a better person than me :-). #
@viralmarketmom Have you seen TwitCapt.com yet? Free viral marketing tool for WordPress + Twitter viral marketing campaigns. #
If you could ask @Ann_Sieg ‘s Webmaster any 1 question, what would it be? #
@hackmancoltaire Performance wise, not much of a difference… But for me: I prefer to keep all the HTML out of the php that I can in reply to hackmancoltaire #
@hackmancoltaire and by that i mean a template that gets loaded in an echo’d… Line by line echoing however is fairly lame #
@oikonomosIII Just have her go to http://www.twitter.com/ann_sieg/ in reply to oikonomosIII #
