Send a message through MessageDance and it will automatically post to your Twitter account! You can have all of your messages go there or just the ones you want to. The best thing is that you can send more than 140 characters since we send a link back to your message in your tweet. If you are a Twitter user and want access to this right now,

 | No-limits twittering, right from your email! |
What is this all about? |
MessageDance has released a new service that lets you send updates to Twitter from your email. You can have all of your MessageDance messages go there automatically or selectively send the ones you want. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF TEXT AND RICH CONTENT YOU CAN SEND AS A SINGLE TWEET! Also, even if Twitter is down, we'll capture your message and send it once they are back up.
Simply send your message from your email client, mobile phone, or MessageDance.com and it will go to all of the sites you have MessageDance including your Twitter account. Your tweet will have a link back to MessageDance with the entire message content that can include pictures, video, music - anything you can put into a rich text email.

How do I get started? |
Sign-up or log-in to MessageDance. From your DanceFloor, click on the link for Social Profile. For Twitter configuration, put in your Twitter username and password. Don't worry, we use industry standard encryption to send and store your data. Choose if you want to have your email subject or body show as your tweet. Pick if you want all of the MessageDance messages you send to yourself go to Twitter or just the ones you individually specify.

What will my tweet look like? |
| We take as many characters from your message as we can along with a URL link to your complete message. What's really cool is that you can send rambling text, pictures, music, videos - and since we link back to MessageDance.com, you have the reach of Twitter with the rich content and conversation ability of MessageDance - and not worry about going over 140 characters. Your message also goes to your widgets on other sites and looks just like your usual MessageDance message. Here's a detailed overview on how to best send pictures and videos. |

What does Tweet-Aware mean? |
| If you include text in your message with "@" in front of it, we'll hyperlink it to a Twitter profile. For example, you write "@messagedance please add more features like this", we'll hyperlink it to http://twitter.com/messagedance. |

Can I send a private message (Direct Message) to Twitter? |
At the moment, if you send a Twitter Direct Message (D + username+ update), which is meant to be a private message, it WILL show up in your MessageDance widgets and the MessageDance Public Timeline. Also remember that if you delete your message on MessageDance.com, it has already gone to Twitter so we can't remove that.

How can I add photo and videos to my Twitter post? |
Just copy and paste the "embed" code from YouTube into your email or into DanceFloor message and send it off. It works best if you send it in "text" format from your email client (shows up in both your messages list and the message detail). Some email clients will let you copy and paste the actual video from one page into the email page. Safari will let you actually drag and drop the video from one web page into the email page. Play around with it to see how it works best in your email client.
For pictures, just copy and paste the image (and any other text)from a webpage into your email. This only works if you are sending it in "rich text" format from your email client. Give it a try as you can basically copy a whole webpage and send it in email. |
