Inform Your Network About Causes You Care About with TwitterFeed/Social Actions

by John Jorgensen on September 25, 2008

  • Supply your Twitter username/password to the Twitterfeed/Social Actions mashup and it will automatically re-tweet messages from your account about social causes that you care about.
  • Enter a cause (ex. animals, climate change) and an action type (ex. fundraiser, campaign) and the mashup will scan Social Actions for corresponding movements to re-tweet.
  • Great way to keep up to date on causes you’re interested in while sharing them with your social network.
