This morning I woke up and while scanning Twitter for news I noticed @Mashable has an article about a Facebook re-tweet feature. This is kind of a big deal for Facebook users but many Facebook users aren’t also Twitter users so I knew it would be useful to do a screencast to demonstrate the feature and talk about the benefits. The two reasons you should use it:
- To provide the person who original shared the content credit for their efforts.
- To encourage your friends to become fans of similar content that interests you.
Here is a screen cast demonstration of how to use the feature:
Nice job, Joe!! Thanks for the ping on my fan page!! 🙂 I'm not seeing too many peeps use this feature yet… I wish Facebook were focusing on other things like fan page activity notifications & finally releasing the better email feature! 🙂
Like many things people may not even realize it is an option. I smell a follow up, want to collaborate on it? 🙂
😉 I have a gazillion projects in the hopper just now… thanks tho! 🙂
I will share the follow up with you. I will play with the “what's next a Twitter like function?” idea.
Joking aside this really paves the way for the people who are providing quality content to get their message amplified. I'll see what I can cook up.
