I was just researching this for a project I’m working on and found a handy little tool to generate the code you need to customise a tweet this button that will help promote viral exposure for your videos.
Click on the image / button on the left here and you can see how this works.
So how did I do it?
Well it was this page that I found through Google that did all the hard work for me…

I used this to generate the link address for the button, then created my own button using the twitter icon above and then simply created a link from that button to tweet this address.
I’m about to launch an exciting project with some really good value video content and training material and thought a button like this would be valuable. I’m currently looking in to how to do this with Facebook also.

Doesn’t help when Twitter is over capacity!
