    Adding Tweetmeme to MailChimp RSS Campaigns

    I recently added the Tweetmeme buttons to my Posterous blogs. If you want to add Tweetmeme to your Posterous blog then take a look here.

    I wondered if it was possible to take this further and include Tweetmeme within my actual email campaigns using MailChimp. I use the RSS-to-Email system within MailChimp to send subscribers updates from the ServerTastic Blog. After a bit of research it was actually much easier than I thought.

    All I had to do was add the following bit of code within the RSS tags where I wanted the Tweetmeme image to appear. You will need to replace the "source" variable with your own twitter username.

    I tested this in Outlook, Gmail and on the iPhone (According to my MailChimp stats this represents 71% of my subscribers).

    This is a completely new experiment for me and it will be interesting to see if this generates any increase it tweets.
