Spread.us Will Get You Found on the Web FAST

by Terry Crosby on June 1, 2011

spread.us social media share toolI just discovered an incredible new social sharing tool that made me smile. This tool will help you as a content creator (publisher) and a content curator.

Spread.us is a share button that you will soon be able to install on your blog/website. It allows your visitors to set up automatic Tweets and/or Facebook Likes for your current and future posts.  They will never have to come back to your blog/website to share a new posts. Spread.us automatically shares as soon as you click “publish” so all your shares will happen at the same time.

What does this mean for you as a content creator (publisher)?

Enabling your website visitors (social circle) to AUTOMATICALLY share your posts on Facebook and Twitter as soon as you click publish is the secret to. . .

  1. getting found on the web by both search engines and your target audience
  2. establishing credibility as a leader in your industry
  3. providing social proof that you are your industry’s trusted resource
  4. growing your audience significantly

What does this mean for you as the content curator?

Being able to consistently break the story to your social circle is also the secret to. . .

  1. getting found on the web by both search engines and your target audience
  2. establishing credibility as a leader in your industry
  3. providing social proof that you are your industry’s
  4. growing your audience significantly
  5. Growing your audience significantly.

Spread.us allows you to customize your Facebook and Twitter sharing settings. I assume the publisher would set up the share settings. You can choose

Twitter

You can choose

  1. Tweet style (Retweet the original Tweet or copy and paste Tweet)
  2. Tweet frequency (set the exact number of Tweets you would like to do per day)

You can also chose which posts you would like to share by

  1. author
  2. topic
  3. edition
  4. region

Facebook

The Facebook set up was not working for me today.

Spread.us is in public beta.  Currently, The Next Web is the only site using the button; however, they will be opening up to the public soon. If you would like to install Spread.us on your blog/website you can sign up here. If you would like to auto share The Next Web’s posts click here.

I would love to hear your thoughts below in the comments? Will you use Spread.us to curate content? Will you install this Spread.us on your blog/website?
