2 Important Reasons to Use Facebook Re-Tweet

January 16, 2010 By 5 Comments

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:

  1. To provide the person who original shared the content credit for their efforts.
  2. 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:

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.

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! :)
