Jotabl: Add a Twitter Shoutbox To Your Blog
Bring Twitter to your website is one of the best ways to get more traffic. One way to do that is by adding your content to Twitter from time to time. Of course, if you can get people to re-tweet your posts, your traffic is only going to grow. But there is more to Twitter than just sharing your posts on it. You can also use it to solidify your existing community and build new relationships. Jotabl is one example of a service that lets you do just that. It’s designed to help you integrate a shout-box on your website. Your visitors can use the box to give you instant feedback or share their thoughts about your posts on Twitter.
The process is pretty simple. You’ll have to have a Twitter account to take advantage of this service, but you won’t have to post to Twitter when you post an update to the shoutbox. When you are creating your shoutbox, you can filter swear words just to keep the trolls at bay.
The system gives you control over messages and users as well. You can delete messages that you deem harmful to your community. You can also ban the trolls from your shoutbox to allow others to enjoy a better conversation on your blog through your shoutbox. As mentioned above, you can also choose if you want to post your message to Twitter.
If you are looking for a simple way to build a more solid community around your blog with the help of Twitter, Jotabl comes in handy.
