Welcome to Tweetworks
Tweetworks is designed to make micro-blogging more useful for people and businesses. Tweetworks is based on the simple premise that people like to talk about stuff with other people. And it is the stuff (ideas, questions, politics, sports, arts and so on) that brings people together and around which they form community.
Using Tweetworks is Easy
Step 1: Log in Using Your Twitter Info
Use your Twitter username and password to authenticate your Tweetworks session. Don't have a Twitter username or password? Get one
Step 2: Start Talking
Public Tweets
Would you like talk about the big news story of the day or get peoples thoughts for a new blog post? Maybe you just need to vent about some crazy thing that happened at work. Well post your thoughts to the public time line and let the conversation begin.
Groups
Do you have favorite conversation topics? Start or join a group and connect with others who share your enthusiasm. Hint: Click on the "# members" link in a group to see who’s there.
Private Groups
Would you like to set up a private group for work or your fantasy sports league? Simply check the "Hide group's posts from public timeline" box when creating a group.
Note: Users with free accounts may create one private group and participate in up to three private groups. A premium account with unlimited private group access will be released in the near future.
But wait! There’s more…
These Tweets Are Threaded
No more clicking through an endless procession of "in reply to" links, no need for hashtags or writing queries on a search tool to get the whole conversation. On Tweetworks, tweets stay together where they belong.
Post This on Twitter
When you enter a post on Tweetworks you will be given the option of passing the post on to Twitter. Should your tweet be passed to Twitter it will be appended with a URL linking it to its Tweetworks thread.
Note: Public tweets default "yes" and private group tweets default "no" for posting to Twitter.
You, Group, Public
There are three tabs on Tweetworks:
- You — This is where you can find all the conversations you have participated in over the last 24, 48, or 72 hours.
- Group — This is where you'll see the conversations that have taken place within your groups (public & private) over the last 24, 48 or 72 hours.
- Public — Here you can see all the public conversations happening on Tweetworks over the last 24, 48, or 72 hours.
Bingo! Or Not So Much
Crowd sourcing is one of the hidden gems of Tweetworks. Ask a public question and anyone or everyone can offer an answer. Awesome! Okay, maybe not all will be awesome. Give props where they are due by clicking the "BINGO!" star next to a great response. Or if you feel you need to, delete an inappropriate response.
Tell People About This Group on Twitter
If you would like to invite your Twitter followers to join you in a Tweetworks group simply click the link on the group’s sidebar.
Shrink URLs
A major limitation of the 140 characters per post convention is that sharing links can be tough. Use the "Shrink URLs" feature inside the post box to reduce the size of one or multiple links in a tweet.
