If twitter is good for anything, it’s great for getting people to come together and chat, discuss or support an identified cause. Think about the Iran events or just about any other major trending event topic you’ve seen on the network.
When you decide to promote an event and you want your supporters to be uniquely identified on the twitter social network you can use the Twibbon website to accomplish that goal.
The Twibbon website allows you to upload a simple little graphic that can then be over-layed on your twitter supporters own avatars. Think of the little ribbon magnets you see on everyone’s cars supporting our troops, breast cancer awareness or autism. It’s the same idea, but for twitter.
You can upload a simple colored ribbon icon, or some other small graphic, or just place text over the avatar, which comes in handy for displaying a nice #hashtag that everyone can start using and recognizing.
Twibbon even makes it super easy to show your support for your favorite sports team.
When you ad your own cause or promotion, you can provide details about what you’re trying to accomplish and let others decide if they want to help support your cause.
If you ever decide to stop showing your support or a particular cause, you can always revert back to your normal avatar or a different cause.
