Those of you Twittering and Squidooing will want to know about this from Megan at Squidoo HQ:

“As a fun Friday diversion, we just launched a lightweight new module: Twitter Follow.

Here’s how it works:

1. Add the module to your lens.
2. Enter the Twitter username of someone whose twits you appreciate and like to follow. (Probably makes sense for you to chose someone who twits about your topic… or yourself, for your bio lenses… and so on).
3. Set how many of their latest twits you want to show on your lens.
4. Hit save.
5. Publish your lens (we can’t suck in their feed until the lens is Published).
6. Voila!”

So for marketing purposes, I’d add my own Twitter to my lenses - just more selling opportunities!

The cool thing is, you can folow 5, 10, 15, or 20 twitters in there and there’s automatically a link that says, “Follow Tiffany Dow” so I can beef up my followers.

See it in action here: http://www.squidoo.com/TiffanyDow I added it as the second module as an example. Only bad thing is my hyperlinks aren’t live. But I guess it’s okay, as long as they become followers and can see the URL to type in.
