Inappropriate?Steps to make a homemade Twitter self-populating Twitter link (viral in nature):
STEP 1 (start with this)
http://twitter.com/home?status=
STEP 2 (add your text)
http://twitter.com/home?status=@shortyawards
I vote for @dhollings in the Shorty Awards Finals
for #socialmedia because... of 100 Twitter
Tips http://twittinsecrets.com
STEP 3 (optional, but recommended)
REPLACE all "spaces" with %20
%20 = a space in a web address
AND if you use @ or # replace:
%40 = @ ("at" sign)
%23 - # (hashtag)
STEP 4 (you get a long URL like below)
http://twitter.com/home?
status=%40shortyawards%20I%20vote%20
for%20%40dhollings%20in%20the%20Shorty
%20Awards%20Finals%20for%20%23socialmedia
%20because...%20of%20100%20Twitter%20Tips
%20http://twittinsecrets.com
STEP 5 (test your long URL in a web browser)
STEP 6 (shorten your long URL)
Use something like tr.im or budurl.com or bit.ly
RESULTS (try it out - and Tweet a Vote for me in the Shorty Awards)

Inappropriate?Dan:
I tried the self pop link and it didn't work in that there was no URL at the end of click and post. I think I'm stuck with the circular nature of the process. Here's what I posted:
Great way to book meetings from twitter http://twittercal.com/ Pass along. Click and post:http://twitter.com/home?status=Retweeting%20@drakemedia%20Great%20way%20to%20 book%20meetings%20from%20twitter%20http://twittercal.com/%20 Pass%20along%20Click%20and%20post:%20http://twurl.nl/2i1pwk
If you clicked on URL at end, you got a retweet loaded with no URL at the end. What did I get wrong?
Thanks,
Drake -
Inappropriate?ok... in your example... this will work:
Copy paste this
(remove any line breaks & redo that final short URL)...
http://twitter.com/home?status=
Retweeting%20@drakemedia%20Great%20way%20to%20
book%20meetings%20from%20twitter%20http://twittercal.com/
%20Pass%20along%20Click%20and%20post%20http://twurl.nl/2i1pwk
and then shorten it. -
Inappropriate?It worked! Thanks, and the logic finally clicked. Cheers, Dan.
