Posted on January 21, 2014 by

PegTweets is a Twitter client that has added features like trending #tags & Klout score integration to promote interactivity with followers & enhance your social networking experience.

A notable feature of this app is it provides you the option of seeking opinions & feedback from your followers about your tweets. That’s the differentiator, claims its developer. Users can utilize this option by sending interactive tweets. They can then use the analytics feature to gauge follower responses & read their comments. Users can also tweet the graphical sum-up & share them by email or on Facebook. Individuals, companies & celebrities with huge following can use this feature to engage & interact with their followers.

How PegTweet Works
PegTweets’ interactive tweet is similar to a normal tweet. Followers receive it with a hyperlink & they can open the link to provide their response & leave their comment. This enables quick engagement & feedback from followers. You also have the option of sharing the responses as a new tweet.

PegTweets integrates Klout’s rating of social influence into profiles & tweets to shed light on the influence of a user’s social network. You can also get information on popular influencers & topics, which can help you interact more effectively & enhance your engagement levels.

PegTweets allows you to go beyond simple tweeting & understand & use the actual potential of the vast global social network that is Twitter. Besides social interaction, PegTweets can be used for numerous other purposes such as product feedback, marketing, opinion survey & voting.

PegTweets is a free iOS mobile app that was launched in July, 2013. The Android version is expected to be released by June of this year. A web version is also planned based on the popularity of the mobile apps.

PegTweets is a creation of 3P eVentures which is based in Bangalore, India. This company’s other product is a social app named Pindots.com.
