We all know that getting information out via Twitter is helpful to your brand or company, but what if you want to have your website or blog readers do it for you? Or perhaps you want to get a standard message out or include a keyword or two through the use of hashtags (#).
NOTE: As of May 2011, this method no longer works! Please read my NEW post on the new way here.
The process for doing this is very easy, however I learned a little trick that you can use, especially if you want to use hashtags (which I solve at the end of this post).

This morning I had some interesting Twitter conversations with a few Dads who are on Twitter about how frustrated their spouses are with them at times. The conversations and threads were brought on by reading through this interesting article (“Moms Everywhere are Pissed Off“) as well as from my own experiences trying to be a “technologist”, a loving husband and a caring and attentive father, all at the same time. What I found out is that I’m not alone out there. My wife views my technology-addiction as “the other woman” and I frequently find it hard to balance out my various “lives” or identities.
To that end, I thought that it would make some sense to “share the love” with other Twitter Dads out there. So I came up with this idea that Tuesdays should be “Twitter Dad Tuesdays.” The idea is to build up the Dad relationships on Twitter. So I started with the Tweet:
“Maybe we should make Tuesday’s Twitter Dad Follow Tuesdays! #twitdadtues“
The concept being that you would recommend Twitter Dad that should be followed and add a hashtag (#twitdadtues) to be able to track the messages. You can track the progress of this here (on hashtags.org) and here (on search.twitter.com). It’s actually gaining some traction and I hope it continues.
