Have any of you noticed the "Tweet This" button (example at right) at the top of articles on JBS.org and TheNewAmerican.com? I hope so, and want to encourage everyone who has an account at Twitter to use this button. And if you don't have an account at Twiiter -- please create one ASAP because Twitter is the most powerful and easy to use marketting tool ever created. It is the single best way to spread the word about JBS.

Why is the Tweet This button so important? Simple: it ties to the TweetMeme service. TweetMeme is kind of like DIGG for Twitter, only because it works through Twitter, it is much more valuable than DIGG. When enough people, approximately 150, tweet JBS or TNA articles, TweetMeme puts the story on its front page where it gets great visibility, but more importantly, TweetMeme then retweets the story to its followers -- and TweetMeme has 34,800 followers. That's 34,000 people that will be exposed to JBS or TNA content, probably for the first time ever.

Therefore, if you really want to take your virtual Birching up a notch, get an account on Twitter (it's really easy) and start clicking on the TweetThis button on our articles. It will put our content in front of thousands of new eyes. There are now over 8,000 people in the JBS community. Let's try to work together to get JBS and TNA noticed on TweetMeme and on Twitter.

As an old, retired IT professional, I probably should be up on all this about "tweets" and "twitter" and such. I am not. It only makes me think about Sylvester and Tweety! I guess my experience with mainframes, mini's, PC internals, systems programming, etc. has left me unprepared for the world of social networking!

That said, I was able to set up an account and associate it with tweetmeme (and it IS easy). I have successfully "tweeted".  It was easy... even though I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. But if helps get the word out, I'm all for it!

Don't be intimidated just because you don't fully understand it. JUST DO IT.

Thanks for the help -- if we can get 150 people to do this with each of our articles, JBS and TNA exposure will go through the roof.

Thanks again for all your help!!
