FAVE FINALLY: You can now share entire Twitter conversations with @Storify and @Tweetbot

Published by:

Ever want to share a FAVE Twitter conversation you had with the rest of your followers? It was a time consuming (and often avoided) process…before today. Now you can easily share your thought-provoking banter, thanks to a new partnership between Storify and Tweetbot.

Tweetbot, called the best Twitter app in the App Store” by The Business Insider  released version 2.3 – today (Monday, April 30), complete with “share conversations” feature and Storify integration. Can I just voice my tech-entitled little voice and say, “FINALLY!!!!” This is one of those features I’ve been waiting for Twitter itself to create and it looks like I’m not the only one.

Many times I tweet with people and want to share our conversation either privately with a peer (via email) or publicly with other Twitter followers (via a tweet). Tweetbot now lets you grab an entire Twitter thread and tweet a link to it within Storify.

Wondering how this works? Well, if you don’t have an iPhone or iPad you may want to look away. That’s right. For now it only works for Apple fanboys and girls.

The good, old “how to” direct from the Storify team:

  1. Download the Tweetbot app
  2. Get a Storify account (if you don’t already have one)
  3. See an interesting @reply on Tweetbot and swipe to the right to reveal the entire conversation.
  4. From the drop-down menu, click to Tweet this Conversation
  5. A new story is automatically created on your Storify account linked to your Twitter account. If you don’t have a Storify account or if your Twitter identity is not linked to your account, it will automatically create a new Storify user.
  6. A tweet is generated with a link to the Storify story of the conversation. Add your own message and share it with your followers!
  7. Your followers can now click on the link and enjoy the conversation on Storify.

FAVE SOCIAL: Tweet special @americanexpress hashtags for instant savings, eliminate coupons

Published by:

Do you like to tweet about your latest haul? If you’re an American Express customer, now you could get rewarded for it. American Express launched “Tweet your way to savings” to give instant savings at name brand U.S. merchants to customers.

If you’re into instant savings, syncing your American Express® Card with Twitter might be right for you. AmEx gives you special offer #hashtags to tweet that load exclusive offers directly to your CardSave with an automatic statement credit. Come again?

Use a hashtag and you’ll get a monetary credit on your next purchase at a particular location (so long as you spend a certain amount or more). For example, a particular tweet may get you a $20 credit at a retailer, but you’d have to spend $75 in order to use it. Savvy?

Two of the biggest offers, according to VentureBeat:

Dell is offering AmEx customers $100 back on a $599 online purchase in exchange for “#AmexDell” tweets, and Virgin American is giving cardholders 10 percent back on a main cabin ticket should they share the “#AmexVirginAmer” love on Twitter.

What do you think about AmEx continuing to get their social on? Are you comfy tweeting your shopping (or buying) habits?
