In our last conference call Emily showed us a really good way to have our Twitter posts post on our webpages by using HootSuite.com.  And it is a pretty cool program.  But I was already in the process of working with Intertech to build a widget that shows our Tweets.  Fawad came up with a perfect widget that was easy to set up through either a station Twitter account or a personal Twitter account.  You can see an example here:  http://www.newsradioword.com/ .

It’s really easy to set up, you can choose your colors for the widget, the height and width, and once you’ve set up your list in your Twitter account, you just add the list to the widget.  Plus, once posted it’s easy for listeners to click on your Tweet and get to the persons account so they can start following!

If any one wants help with this I know Fawad would love to help and I’m more than happy to explain it to folks.
