Hey Phil this is super great as usual. Found one small thing. Try including a hash tag in your tweet and see what happens. For me it would not display the hash tag or any of the text after the tag in the tweet.

I love you Nancy, because I never use twitter I never use or tested hashtags. I have fixed this looks like it is an issue with the way hashtags are passed in a URL.
tested it with 2 hashtags and worked well. Link above is updated
really easy, just remove the text entry field and set your text in the variable (think it is called tweet) then just add the button where you want to tweet from.
I have updated the link, it now counts characters in realtime, this is not perfect and probably will not work for all as I used a Mac keyboard to map the keyboard so annoyingly the # is not selectable within windows within the trigger dialogue!
For that reason javascript will also count when you press submit

It's for a course about summarising skills science students; we wanted to give students an opportunity to practise their summarising skills by condensing an article into a tweet.
I used Phil's demo to count the number of characters, disabling the "tweet" button if it goes over 140. Then I used the tweet variable on the next slide to display the user's tweet next to our suggested answer.

thanks for sharing these functionalities! Have you found some posting solution for the LinkedIn? And what about Google+?
And one more thing - have you tried posting including a file? For example to post a picture from the course? Maybe Twitter would not be the best social network but Facebook or LinkedIn would.

This is awesome... I'm going to share this on Twitter and LI. People are always looking for ways to mix social media with Storyline... Thanks Phil!
This is fantastic Phil...
I wonder if there is a way of having a pre-set message in the tweet.
i.e. I just completed [insert training course title]. You should try it! #whatever @yourtwitterhandle

Fantastic!
Thanks Phil
Really cool! Now all we need is a facebook like button,

Does this work in Studio too?
HI Scott this wouldnt work in Studio you could had a hyperlink such as Twitter (http://twitter.com/home?status=I completed this course... )
and use a prepopulated message
Fantastic! Thanks, Phil!
That's brilliant. Love that
This is phenomenal Phil! Thanks so much for sharing.
Could the same be done for Facebook and LinkedIn?
Facebook should be easy to do, not sure about LindedIn never looked what they have available
Here's a quick demo of something I've created from this.

Very cool!!
Love that!
Like to learn this course
I still cannot get that to work
Hi Josephine because it is Javascript you will need to upload to a server for it to work
Phil, as always, genius!
I am planning to include this in a course for a client for the first time, wish me luck!
