We have Twitter integration to post your Shizzow shouts to Twitter, but the big change now is that you can easily import the people you are following on Twitter into Shizzow. Here are a few more details about how it works.
How to use the Twitter friend import:
- Go to your preferences page
- Click the Twitter link in the sidebar
- Activate the service by allowing Shizzow to access your Twitter information
- Click the Import your Twitter friends link
- For friends who are already on Shizzow, you can choose which ones you want to listen to.
- For friends who aren’t on Shizzow, you can invite them, which sends them a Twitter direct message with a request from you to join Shizzow.
What we do or do not do with your Twitter account:
- You never need to give us your Twitter password, we use oAuth to give you control over whether we can access your account.
- Shizzow will not automatically tweet from your account.
- Shizzow will not import all of your Twitter friends; you will need to manually select individual Twitter friends.
- For your Twitter friends who do not already have Shizzow accounts, Shizzow will allow you to send a direct message through Twitter to individually selected friends that you would like to invite to join Shizzow.
- After the friend import process, your account will be setup to automatically tweet your shouts through Twitter, but you can disable this at anytime by visiting the Twitter Preferences page. If you never want us to post your shouts from Twitter, simply disable your Twitter access after importing your Twitter friends.
We’re hoping this makes it easier for you to find your friends and use Shizzow. We would love to hear more about your experiences using the Twitter import on Get Satisfaction.
We also made a few other cool improvements in this latest release:
- Added favorites as a drop down menu on our mobile version (m.shizzow.com) without an extra refresh, and we added the search box to the bottom of the mobile page to make it even easier to shout from your web enabled phone.
- We made some other improvements to the signup process for new users to make it easier to get started on Shizzow.
As always, please let us know what improvements you would like to see in Shizzow. Most of our new features and bug reports come from you, so keep posting them to Get Satisfaction!
