Introducing Tweetme 1.5.2

We have created a Joomla 1.5 Native plugin that adds a nice "TweetThis" button to your Joomla articles. Its very simple, lightweight and looks good on any site. When your users discover content on your site and tweet about it, it will boost your site traffic. The plugin provides a fully integrated URL shortener and the story or page’s title. Each link which is posted on Twitter adds increments to the count on that story/article. The more tweets a story receives, the more popular it is! The compressed files are only 4kb and 10kb uncompressed, all the action hapens with one small line of javascript javascript. 

What Inspired This ?

Most similar plugins support submitting your content to many Social Networking sites, while having it's obvious advantages, a plugin like that may add unwanted scripts to your site or require you or your Client having to either edit xml files or make sometimes complicated configuration settings or adjust CSS files. Something that your client may not appreciate or understand.

A recent project required a 'Tweet This" link in articles that would enable site visitors to tweet/re-tweet an articles Title and link. There was no existing Joomla module or plugin that fit the requirements for one or the other reasons, thus Tweetme was born.Where did it come from ?

Tweetme relies on the API provided by Tweetmeme .
