With so many Kindle users using Twitter, we’re happy to satisfy their tweeting urges with our new Autopost to Twitter feature. Now, when Kindle users post a new prayer, they have the choice to post their prayer to their Twitter feed, and share them instantly to their Twitter followers. Their posted tweets will include a link back to their posted prayer so friends and family can read their entire prayer request. Happy tweeting everyone!

For those of you wondering what Twitter is, view the “Twitter in Plain English” video below, and read Rhett Smith’s How Twitter Can Catalyze Your Ministry for a great overview for applying Twitter to your ministry.
