Hi  Dave,

It sounds like you might be talking about Tweetmeme's retweet button:

Hope this helps,

Jon.

 Thanks guys but none of those do it.

 What I found on Face Book (and expected to find on Twitter) was a
 small script (below) which is in the php page that renders the
 article.

  script src=http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/
 FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US type=text/javascript/scriptscript
 type=text/javascriptFB.init(c5271172ce14e9ebba86a56e28c273a1);/
 script

 and a link that calls the script (function). Which I have as part of
 the php code when the article is retrieved from the DB.

 a href=http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u={URL HERE}\
 onclick=return fbs_click() target=_blankimg src=http://
 b.static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/zAB5S/hash/4273uaqa.gif alt=//a

 Here is a sample of the FB widget. 
 http://www.sailinganarchy.com/z_article.php?get=1564
 (the insert tag button is not working right now so don't bother to
 click it)


 All this was found in the developers widgets section
 http://developers.facebook.com/tools.php?connect_wizardwizard=share

 So I was hoping to find something simple like this on Twitter. I have
 written some php DB code but I am not really interested in learning
 the Twitter API just to have a share link.

 So far you guys, and I want to thank you for responding, are the only
 ones who have answered. It is tough to get any contact with people who
 run these big sites.

 Thanks
 Dave

Thanks Jonathan, that was exactly what I was looking for. I keep
looking for something using  share or website sharing who the heck
knew it was tweetmeme. I have found Twitter a rather difficult site to
navigate and find things.

What I did and it worked (but the twitter script is better) was I
copied a link from another site and dissected it.

Coming up with this. The quotation marks are escaped because it is
inserted from a php script after a DB retrieval.

a href=\http://twitter.com/home?status=$share_title $url_link\img
src=\/gif/share_twitter.png\ border=\0\//a

The $ share_title is a string trimmed to the specific length (80)
otherwise it does not work. the $url_link is the link to the article.


Thanks for the help.
Dave

Dave,

It depends on which button you are seeing. A lot of blogs and sites have
integrated Sign in with Twitter. It allows you to easily leverage Twitter
for authentication and to link their identity on your site.

http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Sign-in-with-Twitter

Check it out and let us know if you have any questions.

Best, Ryan

 How do I get the little twitter button I see on many blogs and sites?

 I have set up FaceBook to work with our database of articles but I
 cannot find on twitter what I need to do.

 I don't think I need to use the Twitter API and I cannot find any
 information on this issue.
