I’ve been playing around with Twitter today, trying to find decent plugins to integrate a Robot Armageddon Twitter page within RobotArmageddon.com. Many of them break the layout of the page or just plain don’t work, but there a a couple that I have been able to add.
The most obvious of these is an option at the top of the frontpage to add a tweet about RobotArmageddon.com to your Twitter. A similar option will appear at the top-right of each individual post page. If you click the link you are able to add a tweet to your Twitter without opening a new window/tab or having to leave the site at all. There are quite a few options that you can choose from, but all you really have to do is click ‘post to your twitter’, click the update button, then click close after the tweet is submitted. A bit.ly short link is automatically used in your tweet.
Also on each post page, just above the ‘post to your twitter’ link is an option to retweet that post on Twittley.com. Twittley is a site that only shows user generated content from members of the Twitterverse. It’s a good place to waste some time and find some cool new sites.
If you enjoyed what you read, please share the love on Twitter and Twittley.
You can also promote your own Twitter – there is now an option to include your Twitter username when you leave a comment. If you choose to use this, your Twitter username and a link to your Twitter page will appear beneath your name after you leave a comment so other users will be able to view your Twitter. Look at the comments for this post to see an example.
The Robot Armageddon Twitter page is still a work in progress. Currently there are a few websites (Twittley & Redgage) that automatically post tweets whenever new content is added to RobotArmageddon.com. If everything gets jumbled up with similar tweets from different sources then it will change, but for the time being those tweets will show alongside anything I decide to tweet myself. If you chose to follow the Robot Armageddon Twitter, I will reciprocate and follow yours as soon as I can.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the Twitter or Twittley pages, please send an email to david [at] robotarmageddo [dot] com.
