Anybody use Twibbon to promote a website/cause/event?

I stumbled across Twibbon today - it's a service that basically creates an easy way for you to brand your Twitter/Facebook pictures, and to allow others to promote your cause as well.

I'm not sure if I'm late to get on board here or if this is a relatively new thing, but it seems pretty cool.  I can definitely see this really working out for promoting philanthropic causes.  It would also work really well for events - imagine if every speaker at an SEO conference used Twibbon to brand their Twitter/Facebook?  I think it would really help with branding, for both individuals and businesses.

Cool!  I'm primarily concerned with for-profit uses, so that's great to know.  I'll definitely check it out.  Thanks for sharing your experience.

Finally a PRO question, I can answer

My org only does marketing for nonprofits and uses this a ton. The impact can be big, but it won't last long, so it's best to start with a bang around a major event, a holiday, etc and then not belabor it for too long.

I can't recall if they have this case study on their site or if you need to have them send it, but check out their World Cup case study. It's for profit of course, but it's kind of cool how twibbon was used to grow their audience.

Ah, good to know.  I found this because my old fraternity (yeah, yeah, shutup) at Rutgers has all of their pledges using it, which I thought was super creative and a great idea to brand themselves on campus.  These kids are getting smart!

Old as the hills (well, couple of years old).

I used it to promote a site's first birthday celebrations on Twitter and Facebook. Got a decent take up on Twitter and a few on Facebook, but I don't see a lot of people using it these days.
