I got 3 or 4 emails asking me about QwaiderPlanet Twitter and what exactly it is, what it does, how to get on it, and how to use it.

To save me a bunch of copy and paste steps, here is how it works, how you can use it.

QwaiderPlanet Twitter is a service that Tweets your articles to the ever exploding platform of Twitter. It's no secret how Twitter's success has spawned so many other dependant technologies that are built on top of it.

How does it work? Every time an article is posted on QwaiderPlanet. That article is also tweeted to Twitter, with the blog name, the article title and most importantly a link to the article. After all, QwaiderPlanet and all services exists for a single purpose, to bring fresh articles to readers, and promote writers by connect them to straight to readers. With nothing in between, one click is all it takes to get to your favorite author.

So how do you use it?

For readers, you can visit http://qwaider.com or now you can just follow @QwaiderPlanet on twitter, if you have a twitter account.

For authors, you can submit your blog to QwaiderPlanet. When you do, you can include your twitter address, this address will be "mentioned" when tweeting an article.

Some authors might choose to allow QwaiderPlanet twitter to post on their behalf. This is fantastic because now, all your articles will be tweeted from your own Twitter account. All you need to do is authorize QwaiderPlanet twitter by going here. Authorization is secure and very easy to do. The benifits is that your post will be tweeted ON YOUR OWN account, then it will be retweeted by QwaiderPlanet account, and if you happen to also be on Jordan blogs, the article gets retweeted once again.

If you know twitter well, you will know that these "re-tweets" is what it's all about. The more a tweet is re-tweeted, the more valuable it is.

What Qwaider Planet twitter does is that it tweets your article. Converts your tags to #Hashtags in twitter, and as of today, if you have "@" sign in your tag, it will be used to reference another twitter user (So for example, if you add @QueenRania in your tags, it will show next to your title as a Mention of Queen Rania on Twitter)

If for any reason, you don't want a specific article to show up on twitter, you can add the tag "no-tweet", and your article will not be tweeted as you have indicated in the tag.

I hope that you find this new service up to your liking, and I hope I answered any questions you might have. I'm also open for suggestions, feedback and special requests.
