Yesterday I downloaded a couple chapters of Joel’s Comm’s Twitter Power book, and I found something quite interesting on that site. Joel had a link you could click that would send you to Twitter with a tweet already filled in for you.

Then I came across John_ritz’s blog which is full of useful stuff and he had it right there on the front page.  He obviously did that so his visitors could tweet and spread the word about his blog (Or even the book promotion), but up until then, I had never seen this strategy used before.

It’s definitely worth testing. But I’d recommend only trying it to encourage tweets about pure content or free giveaways. Given Twitter’s non-pitch atmosphere.

What do you think? Feel free to test it out by tweeting about this blog post, which should definitely have mass Twitter appeal and does fit the pure content criteria.

To see what I did, just right-click the link above, select “Copy Link Location” if using Firefox or “Copy Shortcut” if using Internet Explorer, then paste it in notepad or any text editor.)

(My thanks go to Joel Comm and John Ritz for the trick above. By the way, lots of useful information and resources in Joel’s book. You can see some of the changes I already made to my Twitter profile as a result. You can also connect with me on Twitter there).
