I couldn’t finish this in time for the Twitter wedding yesterday, but here’s a gift for the Supernatural fandom!

I couldn’t finish this in time for the Twitter wedding yesterday, but here’s a gift for the Supernatural fandom!
Lauren Lane (@laurenlane1984)
When Lauren Lane's plans to wed Daniel Welch were threatened by the collapse of the British events company organizing her big day, she turned to Twitter for help: "Please RT to help our story! £4.5k stolen with 6 weeks to go - need a little help from our twitter friends."
Lane's online appeal worked, as even two celebrities retweeted it. Companies offered Lane and Welch free or discounted services for the wedding, which occurred Feb. 25. ""It just goes to show the power of Twitter," Lane said. "As soon as I posted my message on the website everything just went crazy."
The downside of her sudden Twitter fame: Media coverage that Lane felt made the couple look like moochers. "Can't believe the story on the mail online! £10k in donations? We didn't get any money! Will be having words in the am!"
#Tech Tuesday - Are You Making the Most of "New Twitter"?
I'm sure that by now, we are all using the New Twitter, yes?
But are you making the most out of it? Namely the embed feature allowing you to embed photographs, video and more right into your stream? It's nifty.
Of course I know you all want folks to click on over to your business website or blog, but maybe it's time to let go of your click addiction, just a little bit. I do believe that when you give folks a little taste of what you're about with an engaging photograph or video you'll find clicks to your site or blog increase. Also make sure you include both your business website and your blog's URLs in your profile!
Let's remember that what makes social media such a great place to be right now is the ease of access. Use it and use it to it's fullest!
Here are the partnerships that Twitter made so your content could be embedded in your stream for all your followers to see:
DailyBooth, DeviantART, Etsy, Flickr, Justin.TV, Kickstarter, Kiva, Photozou, Plixi, Twitgoo, TwitPic, TwitVid, USTREAM, Vimeo, yfrog and YouTube.
