TweetMyPage V0.2 - Now with "from TweetMyPage" indicator

Laurent Bugnion — Thu, 29 May 2008 09:00:35 GMT

As soon as I had my info page online, I asked Twitter to accept TweetMyPage as a Twitter application, and to mark the messages posted with TweetMyPage with "from TweetMyPage". Note for developers: There is a form to fill on the Twitter API page. It's really fast, and one day later I got the answer that it was accepted.

From now on, messages posted from TweetMyPage are marked as such:

I got a couple of testers so far, and already got a few requests for additional features. I am now evaluating how I can modify the application to integrate these new features, and will update TweetMyPage as soon as I got time (in 2018) (just kidding).

TweetMyPage is in beta for the moment, and if you want to try it, I'll be happy to send you an invite (just leave a comment down here or send me an email. If all goes well, I will make TweetMyPage public next week or so.

GalaSoft "TweetMyPage" released for tests

GalaSoft "TweetMyPage" is a web application allowing you to post to Twitter what you're currently reading in your web browser, on a simple button click.

After you install the small "scriptlet" button in your web browser's "bookmarks toolbar" (Firefox) or "Links toolbar" (IE), any time you want to share what you're reading with the world, you can simply click on the "TweetMyPage" button.

If it's the first time in this session that you are posting, you will be asked to enter your Twitter user name and password. After that first time, you will not be asked for it anymore, not until you close your web browser.

As a result, a message will be sent in your name to Twitter, for example:

When you create the "Bookmark button" in the Settings page, you can customize the "Reading" prefix that will be posted, as well as a couple of other settings.
