We have another exciting new feature to tell you about, which is the ability to link your weRead account with your Twitter account! If you’re not already familiar with Twitter, it is a site that allows you to “micro-blog”. You post updates about what you’re doing, link to interesting stuff on the web, and keep your friends (or followers as Twitter calls them) updated. The catch (and why they call it “micro”) is that you are limited to 140 characters. We have added functionality so that when you add or review a book it is updated to your Twitter account, so your friends know what you’ve been reading. Sound interesting? Here’s how to get started.

Note: This how-to assumes you have a Twitter account. If you don’t have one already, then you can start one by joining Twitter.

Step 1: Click the link on the weRead homepage to “Link twitter and weread to update your Twitter status automatically when you add or review a book.” Or you can click on “Twitter user” link at the top of the page which is next to sign-in link.

Step 2: Enter your Twitter username and password, and set how many times a day you want weRead to update your Twitter status.

Step 3: Continue adding and reviewing books on weRead, and the updates will show up on Twitter automatically!

It’s easy to set up, and another way to let your friends know what you’re up to on weRead. To disable Twitter updates from weRead, you can click “delete details” in the above settings page.

As always, we would love to hear your feedback on our new feature! Let us know how this is helping you or how we can make it better by emailing us.
