A few people have seen some of the viral status update links I push out through Twitter and have wondered how I did it. It’s actually really simple if you know what you’re doing.
- Start your link URL with http://twitter.com/?status=
- Then, everything after the equal sign will be the status that appears in the update box when users land at Twitter.com. For example: http://twitter.com/?status=I just learned how to make a viral status update link from @bkmcae at http://BenMartinCAE.com/viraltweet <– Check it out!
- Important side note: Twitter users must be logged into Twitter.com for this to work.
To see how this works, go ahead and log into Twitter.com and then click this link.
