Use Hootsuite To Create Twitter Widgets

by Andy Brudtkuhl on February 1, 2010

Today I stumbled on the widget creation tool in Hootsuite that allows you to create an embeddable widget on your website or blog.

Here is how it works.. Just click the embed button on any column

Then click “Grab Code” and paste it in your sidebar or website!

It’s pretty easy – got any questions? Leave a comment or jump into the forums!

P.S. Hootsuite was Doug’s tool of the week on our internet business podcast

Increase Your Shareability With The Meebo Bar

by Andy Brudtkuhl on December 21, 2009

Today we installed the Meebo Bar WordPress Plugin on this site.


If you look at the screenshot below you’ll see it adds a “bar” along the bottom with several social and sharing functions…

Hovering the “Share Page” button on the bar allows visitors to your site to quickly share the page…

We also setup the ability for visitors to ask us questions when they are on the site. If you are reading something and have a question about it – just ask us! We’ll try to get back to you right away.

We also added the RSS, Twitter, Facebook, and StumbleUpon buttons using the easy configuration tool provided by Meebo. The RSS button pulls the latest from our RSS feed. The Twitter button pulls our latest tweets. The Facebook Button shows off our fan page widget. And the StumbleUpon button lets you share it to the SU network.

If you have any questions about the Meebo bar and integrating it into your website, jump into our forums or leave us a comment here.

  • Know how far your content has spread virally through Twitter.
  • Find out which user demographics were interested in your content.

Looking for Twitter analytics? Here it is.
