Twitter pushing Tweet Button aimed at making sharing simple.


Twitter pushing Tweet Button aimed at making sharing simple.

Twitter has announced in a blog post today that they are launching the “Tweet Button.”

Their aim?  To make sharing anything via Twitter as easy as possible.  According to the post:

“Today we’re launching the Tweet Button to make sharing simple. It lets you share links directly from the page you’re on. When you click on the Tweet Button, a Tweet box will appear — pre-populated with a shortened link that points to the item that you’re sharing.”

Twitter is stopping with simplicity.  They are also adding  suggestions for accounts to follow. These accounts are suggested by the web site you visited.
