As Twitter has grown, its users have created lots of portmanteaux based on the service. Some of them are hilarious — see “Dweet” for “drunk Tweet” and “Twitterhea” for, well, using your 140 characters way too often. There are plenty of examples of less ingenious neologisms, as well, at the Twittonary (twanxiety, anyone?). But before we get too high up on our horse (or hog), though, we’d like to introduce our own Twitterism: the Tweeting Card. What’s a Tweeting Card? Glad you asked.
Tweeting Cards are the newest and hippest way to reach out to your friends and followers on Twitter. Simply pick a great PigSpigot card (or create your own!) and choose the “Tweeting Card” option from your list of sending choices.
Then all you have to do is personalize a message to include in your card and fill in both you and your recipient’s Twitter names. PigSpigot automatically generates an @reply Tweet (containing a bit.ly link to the card) that you can send out directly from our site.
One thing to keep in mind: unlike sending an e-card or a print card, when you send a Tweeting Card to someone over Twitter, all of your followers can see the card as well. Unless you’re an exhibitionist (which you might be – you’re using Twitter after all), it’s best to keep these cards a little less revealing than usual!
