I got an alpha invite for a new Twitter app called Tweetboard that does a couple of things:
- It surfaces my Twitter feed onto my personal site. To date, I haven't found a clean way to pull in Twitter feeds into my platform so this is a half-step in that direction. The Tweetboard window sits to the left side of my site, hidden under a "tweets" tab. Click on the tab and it opens up an adjustible screen. Click on the tab again and you close the screen. Voila!
Tweetboard is an app that's simple to install and use - It also introduces the ability to host nested Twitter discussions within my site. I don't get enough traffic or comments yet to probably justify that feature but we'll give it a try anyway.
;)
The Tweetboard tool itself was simple to install: Just had to slap some javascript onto my templates and tweak a few things. Took all of a few minutes.
The video above is a review of Tweetboard. It's kinda over the top, but highlights the general features.
Lemme know what you think, or better yet, toss a few posts in there to see what happens.
