Have you tried Twitter's new publishing tool yet? A collection is turned into a moment.

Progress Photos on Wamco’s TI – Twitter Publishing

Today I read on Mashable that Twitter is allowing you to embed a collection of tweets, emphasizing the photos instead of the text. Thanks for the great tweet, Inspire Social.

A collection is turned into a moment.

What better way than to test this out on our current tenant improvement project for Wamco? Currently the progress photos are part of our Instagram Monday campaign but I always tweet at least one photo of the front of the building. Perfect. I know exactly how I’ll use this.

First, the embed. Then the instructions.

About this TI

Wamco’s new exterior and interior improvement is a beautiful project but focusing on the exterior, more storefront was cut in and an aluminum fascade is being added. You can see the progress from Week 5 to 21 in these few photos.

So, how do you do this?

  1. In TweetDeck (yes you have to use TweetDeck — at least for today) click the plus sign on the left sidebar, add column, add collection.
  2. Click on the blue create collection button.
  3. It will open up a new column where you can name and describe the collection.
  4. Drag tweets into the collection (with the 4 arrow thing). It helps if your collection column is next to a search or favorite column. That stupid “Add To Collection” choice doesn’t work.drag tweet to collection
  5. In the collection column, click the sliders at the top, click share.
  6. In the share dialog, choose View on Twitter. It will open up this collection (used to be a timeline) in a new window.
  7. Copy the link (url) of Collection (mine is https://twitter.com/RigginsConst/timelines/656959892314435584 ). It is a timeline, technically and very linear. Don’t worry the next steps will make it more beautiful.
  8. Go to publish.twitter.com.
  9. Enter URL from your new timeline (step 7) in the dialog box and press the arrow or enter key on your keyboard. The moment will come up.
  10. If you like what you see, click the blue copy code button. If you don’t like what you see, go back to TweetDeck and add or remove tweets to your collection. My tip is to have an odd number (3, 5, 7) of tweets. It looks better.
  11. For WordPress, go to your post/page, click text (it doesn’t work in visual), then paste code where you want it to appear. Now, for me, it didn’t live preview but when I clicked publish, it was live. So don’t freak out like I did.
  12. Don’t forget to save.
  13. Proofread post.
  14. Publish.
  15. Pat yourself on the back.

Fish Bowl Be Gone: Window Film is Here

Are you tired of holding client meetings in a fish bowl? Do you like the concept of a glass-walled conference room, but feel that it lacks a sense of privacy?

Do you have a retail space with a storefront display that could benefit from the aesthetics of patterned, gradient window film?

We all want the benefits of natural light, yet we shudder to think of going back to using glass block reminiscent of Miami Vice episodes.

We may have a great solution that will satisfy your desire for natural light in your workspace while adding a great aesthetic.
