Our commentary on the New Twitter advice
Twitter announced new advice on the best approaches to communicate using Twitter on Friday.
The advice is intended for journalists, but we though we’d alert you to it, since some of the tools are relevant to companies or bloggers regularly communicating with their audience. After all, many companies effectively have their own journalists today as they compete with online newsrooms and publishers to engage their fans.
Some examples of the tools include greater interactivity on your site:
1. Embedded tweets – we’re seeing more of these now – they’re a good way to feature promotions or quotes within your site or landing page.
Here’s an example – I had to manually set this up in code – a bit painful – I can’t see the “embed this tweet link” on the status – if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know in the comments.
If you haven’t seen them before, here are some of our resources for journalists and newsrooms:

2. Twitter Web intents – enable you to build in interactions to make it easy reply from within a web page.
