Test Drive Our New Guest Tweeting Widget

Give our new Guest Tweeting widget a whirl by entering in a guest tweet below.

The purpose of this widget is to give your organization’s audiences, customers, employees, members, etc. a way to contribute to one (or more) of your organization’s Twitter stream(s) with ease. Just think, your customers could tweet endorsements directly to your Twitter account! (after one of your editors first approves the content, of course)

After we approve your Guest Tweet (through the TweetFunnel editor interface), you will see your Guest Tweet in the right sidebar of this page.  You can request Guest Tweeting for your TweetFunnel account under Settings>Manage Twitter Accounts>Modify Third Party Integration.

Using Twitter Hashtags for Your Organization

When you signed up for Twitter, it’s likely that you quickly realized that the Twittersphere has its own language.  There are followers and retweets and what are those things with the # sign?  Those are hashtags.
