Push This: Twitter Rolls Out Tweet Button

One-button Tweeting is finally a reality, as Twitter rolled out its Tweet Button, which will allow content creators to add a few simple lines of code to their content and readers to click the button, opening a pre-populated Tweet box, complete with shortened URL. Twitter also announced a host of sites that are already using the Tweet Button: AddThis, Arizona Republic/azcentral.com, Ask.com, CBS Interactive, CNN.com, Cracked.com, Detroit Free Press, eHow.com, Eventbrite, Gawker Media, HuffingtonPost.com, Hulu, LIVESTRONG.com, Redfin, SFGate.com, ShareThis, Sky News, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Des Moines Register, The Indianapolis Star, The Onion, The Tennessean, Threadless, TIME.com, TV Guide, USA Today, WordPress.com, WUSA 9, Yardbarker, and YouTube. From a post by Carolyn Penner on the Twitter Blog: Twitter is great for sharing interesting things you find on the Web. In fact, close to one-quarter of all Tweets include a link in them. Despite the high volume of sharing, there is plenty of room to make it easier. Copying and pasting, link shortening, and bouncing between browser tabs just to share a link in a Tweet is too much work. Today we're launching the Tweet Button to make sharing simple. It lets you share links directly from the page youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re on. When you click on the Tweet Button, a Tweet box will appear -- pre-populated with a shortened link that points to the item that you're sharing. The Tweet Button is not only simple for users, but for publishers of all sizes, too. Recreational bloggers to large media companies can quickly and easily add the Tweet Button to their sites. It only takes a few lines of code. The Tweet Button will help publishers grow traffic and increase their Twitter following.
