I’ve been following your ‘Twitter series’. It occurs to me that you can use the concepts you recommend for Twitter to place links into your status on Facebook, and other social sites as well, although I don’t know what the character limit on them is.

I am afraid that I am electronicaly challanged. This is all a foreign language to me. I should take a computer course and I keep threatning to do just that but I haven’t followed through yet.

Hi Ken & Ruby,
Just go to Twitter and follow the instructions I’ve given here and you should be able to get things up and running. Twitter allows you to place your latest updates across a number of sites. I did and it was pretty stright forward.

Is there a way to limit the number of posts that show up in the flash widget?

Hi Jonathon,
If this is, there should be a drop-down menu. But, why limit them? Isn’t the whole point so that others can see your work?

Hello,
Will do. I’ve written an article about this:
http://www.printnpost.net/blogs/6307/Where-You-Can-Get-the-Twitter-Bird-Button.html
This bird can be installed on your pages and takes people who click on it to your Twitter updates. This helps you to gain a following on Twitter.
I’m not sure if “tweets” exist but, if they do, they would probably be on the Twitter site.
