Do You Need ChatterAmp^TM for Twitter?

With the explosive growth of Twitter, there are an enormous number of tweets about popular brands. Smooth Fusion has an easy-to-use tool that allows tweets to be quickly searched and selected for display on the home page of a web site.

We call it ChatterAmp because it allows you to amplify positive brand chatter by highlighting it on your web page.

On the front end, ChatterAmp allows you to display the tweets that you have authorized to appear.

On the back end, the ChatterAmp Management Tool allows you to search tweets and select the ones you wish to highlight. It even allows advanced searches to filter by location, dates, or even attitudes.

We would love to show you ChatterAmp. Contact us now to set up a demo. We can do it over a conference call and Internet connection.
