How does #twtBizCard work?
Added by @twtbizcard on Jul 11, 2009 at 12:32:17am (updated on Feb 23, 2010 at 9:53:57pm)

There are a few ways that you can send/share your TwtBizCard.

1) Send a Tweet (@reply) with the #twtbizcard hashtag.

For example: "@twtapps Nice to meet you! #twtbizcard"
This will send your TwtBizCard to @twtapps.

They will get an auto message from @twitbc with a link to your TwtBizcard and it will also be available in their account when they sign in @ http://twtbizcard.com (desktop or mobile)

2) Send it directly from our website or mobile version site.

All you do is to enter the Twitter handler of the person you want to send your TwtBizCard in the "Send Card" option.

3) Share on Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz or email.

If you have your TwtBizCard set up publicly, you can simply share the link to http://twtbizcard.com/ YOUR_TWITTER_HANDLER

4) Embed TwtBizCard on your website/blog

For an example, see http://twtapps.com/blog (on the right column)

How can I edit my TwtBizCard?
Added by @twtbizcard on Oct 3, 2009 at 12:41:16am

We automatically create your "basic" TwtBizCard with the information publicly available on Twitter:

- Name
- Number of followers/followings
- Description
- Link to your website

In order to edit/add more information, you have to sign in with your Twitter account (link on the top/right of the page) (PS: See more info about Twitter oAuth @ http://twtlong.com/oo701i)

Once signed in, go to the last tab "Edit". You can see what your TwtBizCard currently looks like. Click on the "edit" link in the middle of the page.

You can add other information to go on your TwtBizCard. Please keep in mind that this info will ONLY be shared with the people you send your TwtBizCard to (PS: See how TwtBizCard works @ http://twtlong.com/amedy2)

- Company Name
- Position
- Address
- Phone/Fax

How long does it take for somebody to receive my #TwtBizCard?
Added by @twtbizcard on Aug 21, 2009 at 10:22:04pm

Short answer: As long as it takes for the tweet to show up on Twitter Search (usually a couple of seconds.)

A little more explanation:

After you send a tweet with the #tatbizcard hashtag, we perform searches on Twitter for these tweets every 5 minutes. So, it could take up to 5 minutes for the person to receive our @reply saying they have a business card @ TwtBizCard (if it's their first BizCard.)

However, if they log in to their account before that time, we always check if there are new cards available and display them right away. So, as soon as it shows up on Twitter Search, it's available at their My twtBizCard.

As a sender, the way you see you BizCard has been delivered is if it shows up in your "Sent to people" tab. If it's there, it means it's available at the receiver's account.

If you don't see it on your TwtBizCard, please make sure your tweet is showing up on Twitter Search: http://search.twitter.com

Is it safe to login to TwtBizCard?
Added by @twtbizcard on Aug 10, 2009 at 3:45:44pm (updated on Aug 10, 2009 at 3:47:05pm)

TwtBizCard uses Twitter's oAuth in order to verify your Twitter account. The authentication is done on Twitter. There are two types of access provided by Twitter: (1) read-only and (2) read and update.

TwtBizCard requests the "Read-only" access and all we get back is that you were able to authenticate.

We do NOT update or access anything from your account (other than the info that is publicly available thought the Twitter API). The type of access given to us does NOT allow us to do that (nor do we need it).
