Twitter & Facebook Integration
Our goal at Mobile Commons has always been to provide our customers with the best tools to run the most successful mobile campaigns. Today we’re pleased to announce both Twitter and Facebook integration into the Mobile Commons platform!
Twitter has had phenomenal growth over the past year and organizations have been very quick to embrace Twitter as part of their media strategy. In addition to mobile, many of our customers also use Twitter as a way of communicating. To integrate with Twitter, click the ‘Setup’ tab in your Mobile Commons account and enter your Twitter login information. Once you do this, a new “Send to Twitter” checkbox will appear as an option whenever you schedule a broadcast. If you check the box, your message will simultaneously be posted to Twitter as well as to your mobile list!

The popularity of Facebook goes without saying. We’ve had Facebook apps available in beta for a while and they officially launched this week! We’ve gotten great feedback as customers have used our Facebook apps to collect mobile donations, trigger calls to the White House, and get supporters to join their mobile lists. Facebook integration really is incredible and deserves it’s own blog post which is coming soon. If you have any questions or would like advice on getting started with Facebook, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll be happy to help!
These new features are part of a larger trend we’re seeing based on connecting mobile technology to the web. Many of our tools have had web components for a long time: Mobile donations and phone calls can be triggered by filling out a web form. mData databases can be queried from a Flash widget. mCast text-to-screen apps can shown anywhere on the web. We’ve been working hard to expand beyond static sites and really connect you with the social graph. With our Facebook and Twitter integration, we continue to lead the way helping organizations spread their ideas, extend their reach, and accomplish their goals!
