Twitter launches new official TWEET button

According to popular social media blog/news site Mashable (who have gained exclusive information), Twitter will soon be rolling out an official TWEET button for websites.

Now, you may be thinking to yourself, “but all those websites and blogs already HAVE magical retweet buttons conveniently placed next to articles to make sharing with my friends an easy and encouraged process” — to which I would say, “why yes, you are correct! …And I hope you retweet all of ours!” (…Go on, do it… you know you want to…)

What Twitter appears to be offering is a single source button with one line of code that counts ALL instances of retweets and shares across its vast network or users. Yeah. Pretty awesome.

According to Mashable, “There are three versions of the button (110×20, 55×20, 55×63) with five different settings for customization.”

I strongly recommend going to the Mashable article Twitter Launching Official Tweet Buttons This Week [EXCLUSIVE] and check out the pictures as well as documentation on how to embed the new Tweet button on your website.

…and then come back…. hey, We’ve got lots of articles for you to read!

….RETWEET!
