One of those viral "Tweet This To Get ____" things..

sirtom · 09-26-2009, 03:41 PM

Hey all! Question for ya..

Here's what I'm hoping I can get some help with.. I want to put some content behind one of those scripts where if you Tweet the post or link, you get access to the content. Usually I've seen this kind of thing used in launches to spread viral reports, like "Tweet the link to this report and you'll get instant access to it," or something along those lines..

Is anyone familiar with this? If so, how might I be able to do this?

Thanks for any and all help!

It's going to have something to do with Twitter's API. Look into that and you should find your answer.

Yes, it is done with Twitters API and it's not very hard to do - Twitters API is among the easiest API to use.

Check out this wiki as a starting point:

Twitter API Wiki / Libraries

If you need any custom work done with this please feel free to PM me- I've built a few applications with the Twitter API and can probably help you out.

It's also possible that some Warrior will know of a WordPress plugin for this. If there isn't one maybe I should put one together - sounds like it would be useful!

Ah man, I checked out the Twitter API link and I don't mean to sound dumb, but I have no idea what all that is.. I didn't know what to look for haha.

But otherwise, a plugin like that would be amazing! I know more people than just me would get a lot of mileage out of it. And I'll definitely be talking to you soon, hopefully you could help me out with this.

Thanks!

Hi Guys

It sounds like a "Tweet This to Get.." Plugin would be a useful project, I will consider putting one together. It will probably have to wait until later this week though as I'm currently wrapping up a couple of big projects for clients.

In the meantime if you feel up to the challenge and want to write your own here are a couple of links to get you started:

Update Your Twitter Status Remotely Using PHP

Using the Twitter API with PHP and PEAR

These excellent articles show you how to use PHP to make Tweets using the Twitter API. All you really need to do is modify them to use a preset message, and then use a redirect (PHP Header) to send your visitor to collect their reward. If you want to be fancy you could use AJAX-type code (i.e. asynchronous) so that they are not redirected until Twitter reports a successful tweet.

I think this is what you want?
Twitter Blaster - Twitter Promotion Tool | Make Money Online With Peomedia

It's free, but you have to Tweet about it ;-)

Good luck

	I'm sick of the Make Money Online crowd. You need to work for it to 'happen', and if you don't want to work for it, then you won't make it in any business anyway.
