Adding Context to my.SXSW Tweets

There has been quite a bit of chatter that we've been following in the SXSW community about the launch of my.SXSW. Fortunately, most of it has been good news. (Phew!) We've also gotten some great, constructive feedback and some fabulous ideas for new features that we wish we would have thought of ourselves!

There's one issue that has come up a few times that we'd like to address in this post. Several people in the community have expressed concern about the lack of context in tweets coming from my.SXSW. (This only applies to people who have integrated their Twitter accounts.)

We've applied two changes to The Social Collective software to help with this. First off, we changed the application source from "The Social Collective" to "my.SXSW" with a link back to the my.SXSW site, e.g.:


Also, we added a "on http://my.sxsw.com" link back to messages that notify people when you join a group, e.g.:


Keep the feedback coming -- we'd love to hear from you!
