Show Your Tweets on Digg and StumbleUpon
comes in handy.
I was recently updating my Digg and StumbleUpon and thought it would be great to let people know that they can also follow me on Twitter. Sure links to my Twitter profile are great but I wanted to show people what my latest tweet was. Just by chance I thought I would try adding a TwitterTag to my profile pages and see what happened. Sure enough I saved my profiles and the TwitterTag image instantly appeared showing my latest tweet to all that visit my Digg and StumbleUpon profiles.
If you want to add your latest tweet to Digg and StumbleUpon simply visit TwitterTag, enter your Twitter username, set the colors and the size of TwitterTag you want to create and create Generate. Copy the HTML link and image code that is displayed. Go to your Digg and StumbleUpon profiles and paste the code in the About You sections to update your profile and save. Magically the TwitterTag will appear and show your latest tweets when you tweet. There might be a slight delay in the updating because TwitterTag caches your latest tweet for a little while.
There might be other social media profiles that you can do this with as well, but these are the two that I have recently updated and tried. If you know of others leave a comment and a link so we can all add our latest tweets to them as well. Using TwitterTag to help promote your Twitter profile on your other social media profiles is an excellent way to let people know about your Twitter account and to gain more followers.

Is this a new apps? I'm sure it would be great to have one on my stumbleupon. I'm going to be looking at this, thank you for the information. - Ana

TwitterTag is not a new app but I have not done a lot of promotion of it. I talked about it before in the <a href="http://lgr.ca/blog/2008/11/twitter-toys.html" rel="nofollow">Twitter Toys</a> post. I have had some issues with the Twitter API for a little while but it is a nice bonus to be able to use it to add them to StumbleUpon and Digg.

OMG... NO, NO, and double no. While this might seem like a Good idea... Does what someone had for lunch really need to end up on Digg? or Stumble? I use Twitter but not much. It seems like a major waste of time to me. <abbr><em>Boris’s last blog post..<a href="http://tucsonseosolutions.com/the-109-day-link-building-explosion-day-88" rel="nofollow">The 109 Day Link Building Explosion Day 88</a></abbr></em>

They end up on Digg or StumbleUpon as a part of your profile, not as a page or item. It is just a way to help cross promote your Twitter profile on your other social media profiles.
