Twitter Beta-testing ‘Contributors’ Feature
Jason Small | Dec 15, 2009 | Comments 0
Twitter announced a new feature, currently in beta, that businesses can leverage to help make their business to consumer tweets more personal, when tweeting. The feature is called ‘Contributors’ and appends the contributor’s username to the byline. 
For example, if Twitter invites @seniorexec to tweet on its behalf, then a tweet from @Twitter would include @seniorexec in its byline so that users know more about those people behind the business (@Twitter in this example). For brands, this is a great development that can be used to ‘humanize’ further interactions with Twitter and still keep communications professional.
