Phazer Systems is proud to introduce GoTwitr “The Twitter Referral Service”.

Whether it’s for pleasure or business, or both, Twitter automation is a must for anyone who wants to use Twitter effectively. GoTwitr’s primary goal is to make it easy for people to grow and manage their Twitter communities. It’s also a great tool to help brand new Twitter users get started quickly and easily. GoTwitr’s unique invitation model makes it extremely easy for any Twitter user to get this friends and family connected to Twitter.

GoTwitr is a great new referral system that will get you noticed and followed by all the right people on Twitter. GoTwitr uses a unique new concept to deliver quality followers, and promote you to other twitter users that share common interests and passions.

GoTwitr Technology
First and foremost, GoTwitr was built with Drupal 6. Drupal’s external site integration tools made it easy to bypass the normal Drupal registration and login and use the “Login with Twitter” service.

Drupal is also very SEO friendly. To take advantage of Drupal’s SEO features, we integrated the XML Sitemap, Global Redirect, Pathauto, Page Title, and Sitemap modules. We also used the excellent Google Analytics and Google Adsense module to take advantage of Google’s services.

GoTwitr uses Twitter’s Oauth API, which means the Drupal registration is 100% automated. This is a first for Twitter Automation sites. Using this technology means lets you experience all the advanced automation tools without sharing your Twitter username and password with the site (which can be risky).

For the actual Twitter integration, we tested several Drupal Twitter modules, but ended up using Jaisen Mathai’s excellent EpiTwitter and EpiOauth php library. It uses CURL to make calls to Twitter asynchronously, so it was blazingly fast, and very easy to turn into a Drupal custom module.

The Need for Speed
Everything related to Twitter eats bandwidth, so we knew site optimization would be important. To keep overhead as low as possible, we used only the Drupal libraries that were absolutely necessary. Next we installed APC so our php would execute faster. Memcached was installed next, and we used the excellent Memcache module to integrate Memcached with Drupal. APC + Memcached = approximately 300% increase in speed.

So how does GoTwitr work?
1. Join GoTwitr with a single click, no long registration forms gathering your personal information.
2. Use GoTwitr to send out invitations via email, web, or even Twitter. GoTwitr has several stunning invitation styles to choose from.




3. When your invitation is accepted, they are automatically following you on Twitter. They are then shown a group of your friends that you pick so they can follow your friends too. This is great for getting families or groups going on Twitter.

The GoTwitr Referrals section at the bottom is really unique. This is where your bio will be displayed on your team’s invitations. Example – You send John an invitation with your 10 favorite friends. John accepts so he is now following you, and he also chooses to follow your 10 friends. John then starts using GoTwitr to grow HIS community. When he sends out an invitation, you will be recommended to his friends. This continues to happen so you continue to get followers with no continued effort on your part. Amazing!



4. GoTwitr then redirects your new follower to YOUR website. This can be your Twitter profile, your product offering, any page on the web!

Features Unique to GoTwitr

GoTwitr lets you preview everyone you follow or unfollow. Other Twitter automation tools bulk follow people. Many will not even speak your language. GoTwitr lets you preview everyone you follow or purge. This unique feature ensures that you get a chance to decide if you want to follow or not. MUCH better than a blind follow based on ANY search result.

GoTwitr delivers people to your website. Every invitation accepted will take your recipient to YOUR website, blog, profile, or any other URL.

GoTwitr automatically invites your new followers to join you on GoTwitr. Even every new follower is offered to follow you on GoTwitr which takes them to your site as each time they do.

GoTwitr promotes you like a VIP on your follower’s invites! Every time an invitation of yours is accepted, that person not only becomes your follower, but becomes part of your GoTwitr community. Later, when they send out invitations to their friends, you get recommended as someone they may want to follow. Just like a Twitter celebrity!
