#Tweet4Toys Taps Twitter in Social Media for Social Good Campaign

Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) December 2, 2010

Every year The Salvation Army helps thousands of families during the holidays. Thanks to the generosity of so many Tulsans, most of the angels are adopted from the Angel Trees each year, but there are always some that do not get their holiday wishes fulfilled.

In 2009, The Tulsa Salvation Army had over 3,000 forgotten angels, said Lindsay Sparks, E-Marketing Director for the Salvation Army in Tulsa. When its time to give out gifts the forgotten angels are the ones still left on the trees. This year, Social Media Tulsas #Tweet4Toys will collect toys that will be used to insure every forgotten angel receives something special this Christmas.

The website, designed by Tulsas GuRuStu Group, was launched on Twitter via a press conference style chat. Tweet4toys.orgs features are as cutting edge as the campaign itself. People who include #Tweet4toys in their Tweets will see their profile photo appear on the site. A live counter will show how many times #tweet4toys has been tweeted, and if the tweet includes a photo, it will be included on the home page as well.

We believe even the smallest gesture of kindness toward a child will in turn benefit the world. This is why the GuRuStu Group felt compelled to donate its creative services to the Tweet4Toys campaign. We wanted to provide a website to serve as a central location for everyone to see all activity taking place with the toy drive. The Tweet4Toys website uses custom code to integrate the Twitter API and popular image hosting services within a WordPress powered site. — Stuart McDaniel, Founder and Managing Partner, The GuRuStu Group

Local businesses, families, and individuals can use the hashtag #Tweet4Toys to show their support in this toy drive. By sending out a tweet about participating, recruiting, or dropping off toys for #Tweet4Toys, Twitter users are helping spread the message about this fun opportunity.

Tulsa has a strong social media and blogging presence. It is unique, tight,and city focused. According to Twellow, an online Twitter directory, there are over 9,000 Tulsa related Twitter profiles. Social Media Tulsa and The Salvation Army believe it is time to take that passion and apply it to do great work for those in the community. Find out how to spread the word and where to drop off your toys.

If you are not in Tulsa and you still want to support #Tweet4toys, you can still participate via mobile giving. To make a $ 10 one-time gift, text the words Joy Toy to 85944. (Include the space)

The popular Twitter tips and tools account, @TweetSmarter posted this tweet to their 220,337 followers: Tweet4Toys helps the Salvation Army help kids: http://j.mp/fMUvtu “

“Tap11 partnered with Social Media Tulsa and The Salvation Army Tulsa to track all tweets containing the #Tweet4Toys hashtag. With Tap11′s Buzz Monitoring feature, we are able to see how many times the hashtag is mentioned, who the key influencers are, and which tweets containing the hashtag are most impactful. This will provide the Tweet4Toys program with invaluable insight around their campaign.” — Adam Zbar, CEO Tap11

“Using Twitter for Social good is a great way to contribute to the community.” — Ruben Orozco, Founder Tweetfind

During the December Social Media Tulsa meetup, attendees will fill the baskets for the forgotten angels, said Cheryl Lawson, founder and organizer of Social Media Tulsa. Dont get caught up in the stress of Christmas, stop for second and give back you will be glad you did. #Tweet4Toys is social media for social good.

One lucky attendee of the December meetup will win a Zi8 digital camera provided by Kodak, added Lawson. Join us as we make sure there are no forgotten angels in Tulsa this Christmas.

Users can also nominate charities of their choice. I want to provide the opportunity for users to donate to causes they care about while also promoting their Twitter feeds. The current list of charities reflects causes that are important to me and my family, said Hook.

Chatwing Launches Global and Free Chat Widget for Finance Trend Followers in Twitter

Omaha, NE (PRWEB) September 06, 2012

Finance has been one of the major facets of Internet growth today. This is based on the numbers of websites being created for the sole purpose of finance. Aside from that, Twitter tweets about finance are now becoming too common. The Chatwing Development Team has cleverly noted these facts and used them as templates for a new chat box. This chat app has recently been introduced in the Twitter community, as well as other famous blogging sites like WordPress and Livejournal. The Chatwing app is known for its simplicity and quick installation process.

Common tweets about finance usually discuss the ways on how to become financially free. These tweets are then shared in other online sectors. Most of these tweets come from mentoring companies, and other entrepreneurs who want to make impressions. Chatwing’s free chat box can provide a ‘bridge’ of communication for these finance trend followers. These followers can communicate through blogs and websites with Chatwing installed. In the latest version of the Chatwing chatbox, users can send shortlinks for private group chats. In this way, people can chat effectively and easily.

After several discussions, the dev team were able to introduce certain upgrades that have attracted many bloggers and web surfers from various communities. Because of the demand and influx, the Chatwing team has increased the user capacity to 1000.

Interest in Twollars, the new Twitter currency soars as charities sign-up in numbers

Malaga, Spain (PRWEB) May 28, 2009

Since the Twollars launch in February, Twitter users have been tweeting Twollars to each other as an act of appreciation or ‘thank you’ for helpful, useful, inspiring or just funny tweets. Thousands of Twitter users have enthusiastically adopted the new ‘Twollars’ habit and regularly give and receive Twollars.

With a mention in Business Week, an interview with Robert Scoble, covergae on Mashable and Guardian Money and reviews on over sixty blogs in over five different languages, Twollars has attracted attention around the world. Many people have been both intrigued and excited by the concept. In particular, Twollars has a large following in France. They have been integral to spreading the Twollars message.

“We are excited because the level of commitment and great feedback we’ve received has been encouraging”, said Eiso Kant, Twollars founder. “This enthusiasm has motivated us to drive Twollars forward from a simple Twitter project to a company that can really make a difference”.

Twollar’s goal is to capture and pass on positive social ‘energy’ on Twitter to support and raise funds for good causes. It’s a simple idea. Twitter users accumulate Twollars and donate them to a charity. The charity now owns the Twollars. Individuals and businesses then purchase the Twollars with hard currencies (such as Dollars, Euros and Pounds) on Twollars.com and 100% of the funds flow directly to the charities bank account.

So far over 1,500 USD has already been raised for Charity Water, and this activity will grow as more charities actively mount Twollar fund raising campaigns on Twitter.

To cater for this need, the new Twollars website has been designed to service hundreds of charities and many thousands of users, giving, receiving and buying Twollars. It allows charities to register and set up a customized page on Twollars.com to raise their profile and record Twollars and money raised. Individuals and businesses can buy Twollars directly from the charities using credit cards or PayPal.

To encourage multi-national use, the new Twollars site will have support for French, Spanish German and other languages in the next few months. Twollars also now boasts an API and a WordPress Plugin. These are designed to service businesses, blogs and other websites who want to record Twollars transactions or give them to clients, website visitors or customers.

For example, businesses who buy Twollars from charities on Twollars.com will be able to use them to reward their customers. According to Mac Taylor, one way to recognise a business’s ‘generosity quotient’ will be by the number of Twollars that they give away. As evidence from user engagement with other ethical brands suggests, customers will choose to engage with businesses that give away Twollars. “We expect the Twollars label to be adopted like a ‘Fair Trade’ brand and other ethical cause brands” said Mac.

 

About the Founders

Eiso Kant and Mac Taylor met on Twitter and after several long Skype calls conceived the Twollars idea. Their goal was to build a service that leveraged the potential of the Twitter platform by harnessing the extraordinary social interaction that Twitter enables. The Twollars idea is rooted in a vision that the appreciation of others and generosity of spirit is a central to a healthy and vibrant world. Twollars attempts to represent that ideal, and its main purpose to capture and pass on positive energy to help those in need. Mac and Eiso believe strongly in these values and hope to play a part in building a community of like-minded people who support the Twollars vision.

Eiso Kant – profile

Eiso is an Internet entrepreneur who has started and ran online businesses since the age of 14. He is committed to developing projects that are innovative, interesting and focused on helping others. Eiso is based out of the south of Spain.

Mac Taylor – Profile

Mac has a background in philosophy and teaching, with an MA from the University of Cambridge. He is interested in Integral ideas and the evolution of social networks. As well as supporting Eiso on Twollars, he runs a Telecom consultancy focusing on mobile applications and services. Mac is based out of the UK.

New Software Helps Affiliate Marketers Cash in On FaceBook and Twitter

(PRWEB) August 3, 2010

Recently launched LinkTrackr.com is a link cloaking software that works seamlessly with social media, and leverages on the need to share information, products and services.

According to Gobala Krishnan, their software uses advanced link cloaking tools to generate free traffic from user activity on social media sites.

“People share everything – videos, status updates, photos and even interesting websites they discover. With our software, you can get them to share your affiliate link to their group of friends and followers in a natural, unobtrusive way”, says Gobala.

In a recent study, more than 60% of affiliate marketers indicated that they do not track their marketing campaigns by cloaking their links. This, he says, is why most affiliate marketers fail to make more than just a few hundred dollars online.

“If you’re not tracking and monitoring your affiliate marketing efforts, you’re just burning a hole in your pocket.” added Gobala, who created LinkTrackr based on his 10 years of experience in affiliate marketing.

“Super affiliates” who make a six figure income from promoting other people’s products are not smarter than the rest of us. They just track and monitor everything, so they know exactly what works and what does not. With LinkTrackr.com, we also empower the average marketer with the same kind of tracking tools, without the hassle of creating expensive in-house software.

WordPress bloggers can also use the WordPress link cloaking plugin that works with the main tracking and reporting application.

For new affiliate marketers, they provide a free affiliate marketing tips newsletter and special PDF report that provides valuable tips on marketing online.
