Twitter Tip #3 Use Favorites
Use the Twitter “favorites” feature to keep a list of your non-profits testimonials.
When you move your mouse over a tweet in your Twitter stream, a little star will appear to the right. When you click the star, that tweet gets added to your favorites tab on the right. As you track what people are saying about your non-profit in Twitter Search, favorite all of the positive tweets. To see the original tweet from Twitter Search, click “view tweet” in the search results. This will allow you to mouse over the tweet and make the star appear. Note, the star will not appear within the search results.
As a non-profit, you can never have enough good testimonials, and the great thing is that they are manageable and easy read due to the 140 character limit of Twitter.
You can also forward your favorites page with the following URL:
http://twitter.com/USERNAME/favorites.
agreed. one of the most under-used of the twitter features. Personally I don’t treat the star so much as a fav, but rather a bookmark. Something I might go back to later, or reply to when I have more time.
ggw_bach,
Thanks for the comment. I use the favorites for our NPO in this fashion. But for my personal Twitter account, I definitely use favorites for booking like you mentioned.
Thanks again for stopping by.
