Big new feature in LGF Pages - auto-posting to Twitter, by linking your LGF account to your Twitter account. I’ll have a post about it later, but you can try it right now — go to your Account Settings, and you’ll see a new section with a button labeled “Connect to Twitter.” Click that bad boy and you’ll go to Twitter, where you can grant our Twitter app (called “LGF Connect”) access to your Twitter account to post automatic tweets when you post LGF Pages.

The tweet is sent from your account, with our app, “LGF Connect.”

(You can revoke access for LGF Connect at any time, in your Twitter settings. Go to the Applications tab and revoke access for LGF Connect, and it’s done. There’s also an option to “Disconnect” in your LGF account settings, but this does not revoke privileges, it just deletes our access codes — only Twitter can revoke the access privileges.)

After you authorize LGF Connect to post to Twitter, you’ll see a couple of new options in the LGF Pages posting form — a checkbox that lets you determine whether or not auto-tweet happens, and an input field for any Twitter hashtags you feel like adding.

It’s all automatic from there; the URL of your LGF Page is automatically shortened using our lgf.bz shortener, and the title of the Page becomes the text of the tweet. I’ve been using a form of this code to automatically post to Twitter for more than a year. You should be mindful of your title’s length — the auto-tweet code truncates titles more than 100 characters to try to avoid going over Twitter’s 140-character limit.
