Make announcements

There are two common ways to run a company, professional or group twitter account. You register an account for the organization and manage it as a stand alone account or you have personality from within the organization speak on your behalf. Neither make the most of social networks because neither deliver the message without filtering it through someone first. And because two way conversations resulting from an announcement also have to pass through the same filter.

Announce.ly bridges the gap between an organization account and personality accounts. Announcements can be made by any number of people within the organization, they are made by real people and retweeted by the Announce.ly managed account.

Social media is all about people and Announce.ly connects the announcer with the audience. It makes connecting with the community easier and encourages two way conversations between those that know and the community in a simple and direct way.

Say something to a group

Announce.ly lets you broadcast messages to a group and encourages follow up conversations directly between group members. Managing a group Twitter account with Announce.ly means you don't have to follow every member and hear every message they send - you follow the group account and Announce.ly makes sure you only get what's important to the group.

Some examples of how groups are using Announce.ly

• Education
• Local events and notices
• Community groups
• Professional groups
• Local classifieds
• ... and much more.

Follow the people you trust

Announce.ly only allows re-tweets messages from people you follow. You're in complete control over who can make announcements through your account. Stop following someone and their messages won't be re-tweeted anymore.

Mark announcements with #hashtags

Announce.ly uses the hashtags you set to filter announcements from all the messages the people you trust send. Announce.ly will monitor your account and whenever someone you follow uses those hashtags we'll automatically re-tweet it for you.

It's Easy

The best part is how easy we make it. You just sign in with twitter and tell us the hashtags you want to follow, we do the rest.
