We have a business Twitter account we've just got going and we'd like our CEO to be able to Tweet on his own account but the tweets be automatically retweeted on our company feed. Is there a way to do this in native Twitter or do we need a 3rd party piece of software? Thanks, Dave
Even though you answered your own question (via a different method), I'll add some additional information. Just because you followed your boss on your company's twitter account only means that his tweets will show up in your timeline. They're still not retweeted under the company's Twitter account itself. You could manually retweet from there, of course. You would definitely need a third party app to do this. Easiest way would be to do a cronjob mixed in with a PHP/Javascript app. Probably the most cost effective with 100% control. This would also require you to register and create your own app under Developer Tools (see https://dev.twitter.com/apps for more info. Relies on Twitter's API 1.1 to do this. Alternatively, you could use an auto-retweet type service (Google "auto-retweet" to see some results). I should note that Twitter is slowly cracking down on automation services by third party, especially anything centered around auto retweet or auto follow.
