Twittering TwitterLit

I've been further integrating the TwitterLit and KidderLit sites with Twitter. Now, if you're browsing the sites and you find a first line that you'd like to share with your Twitter followers, you can easily retweet it by clicking the "Post to Twitter" or "Twitter This" links you'll find with each entry. As you'll see, the Twitter input field will be auto-populated with the line.

Behind the scenes, I'm experimenting with posting the first lines to Twitter by a different means. This should mean that the lines will now be delivered to Twitter promptly at 9:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M. (or just in the morning for KidderLit), whereas before there was some lag time. I hope this will improve the experience.

Great article...Thanks for sharing...
