Popular microblogging site Twitter launched its Tweet Button, a user friendly tool to simplify the sharing of Web links using the platform for Web publishers and online visitors.The news has the online world all in a flutter because the new button allows end users to share links on Twitter without leaving their sites.
In a blog post on Thursday, Aug. 12, the growing microblogging network says "the Tweet Button will help publishers grow traffic and increase their Twitter following." The button allows for customization where publishers can pre-configure the text displayed with each shortened URL.
Companies like TweetMeme have phased out their "retweet" service to accommodate the new button. "We have grown to more than 750 million daily retweet button impressions, which for a tiny team is an amazing achievement. That said the market requires an official solution that can accelerate this growth. So today Twitter is launching its own Tweet Button and we are very pleased to be partnering with them to continue to grow the overall Twitter ecosystem," reads a TweetMeme statement.
Twitter.com is a social network where users can send 140-character messages or "tweets" to friends, family, and followers. Twitter is being used to communicate about one's day, and to keep up to date with social relationships.
However, the benefits of Twitter don't stop there. The service is also used to find or promote deals, coupons and savings for consumers.
