Today, we’re excited to be a launch partner for Twitter’s brand new sharing experience and Tweet button.
Twitter has been working hard to improve their sharing experience. They’ve streamlined the process to make sharing easier, and, all shared links will be automatically shortened with Twitter’s new URL shortener. All current AddThis integrations already support this new Twitter sharing experience. There’s nothing that you need to change to take advantage of Twitter’s enhanced experience.
Secondly, much like our support for other third party sharing buttons, if you’ve already got AddThis on your website then with just an extra line of code you’ll be able to add Twitter’s new Tweet button to your site.
The Tweet button includes a comprehensive count of how many times your URL has been shared on Twitter. Additionally, using the AddThis Client API, you’ll be able to pass information to Twitter to get features like a suggestion to follow you on Twitter after a share occurs.
Everyday there are exciting new developments in the Social Web which help get your content in front of new and bigger audiences. With AddThis, you can have confidence that we’re always on top of the latest developments and support exciting new options as fast as we can.
