Platonik blog

Re-Tweet, Re-send, Re-wash, Re-rinse, Remind

Fraser McCulloch - Wednesday, February 08, 2012
I met up with some local web designers and developers last week when one of them half mocked my retweeting old blog posts.

So here's how I re-send old blog posts from my mobile phone

1. You need lots and lots of content to re-share. Platonik have around 500 blog posts
2. All your blog posts need to be fed into an rss reader like Google Reader
3. You need an iPhone and install the following two free apps : Hootsuite and Mobile RSS.
4. And then you need to add your Twitter account to Hootsuite
5. Once you have done all that, make sure both app icons are next to each other on your screen.



6. Now go into MobileRSS and find the blog post you would like to communicate again. 

7. Click on the summary of that post. Now flip through the menu until you find 'copy link'. Shut down the app.
 

8. Open up Hootsuite and compose a new tweet. I like to first type in the title of the blog post then paste the link I just copied from MobileRSS. Then, shrink the blog link, select the platforms you which to send to and schedule a time for the post.

Hit schedule and you are done.



Whilst social media is not an area we focus on, we are about building tangible business results from websites, this is actually an easy way to drive more traffic via existing valuable content people may have missed first time around.
