I use Twitter favorites to keep track of AngelList testimonials. I just favorite the testimonials I like. It’s super easy:
And it’s trivial to embed them anywhere:
Widget: AngelList Favorites
Not every testimonial is a tweet
You can track a non-tweet testimonial by linking to it on Twitter and then favoriting it. Or by bookmarking it on del.icio.us — I use the testimonial tag.
If you go to my testimonial tag on del.icio.us, you’ll see I’ve also bookmarked private Gmail conversations. Gmail lets you link to threads — although you have to be logged in to see them.
I pull up these testimonials when I’m telling people about AngelList. There’s a story behind each tweet and it’s a fun way to start the conversation.
Topics AngelList
Great technique! We do exactly this: favourite from @rapportive, then embed favourites widgets on our site.
With some aggressive CSS and a little bit of JavaScript, you can also style the widgets how you like, and get them to resize appropriately. For examples of this, see http://rapportive.com/buzz and http://rapportive.com/jobs
Nice. WordPress has a widget too.
Smart idea. I have been taking screenshots and then uploading them to our Facebook and Flickr albums (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mugasha/sets/72157623130349234/), but I really like the emdedability of your technique.
Thanks!
Hi,
we used to do it exactly the same way but we soon found out that just having the tweets as Favorites is still very limiting. We wanted to bundle them into topic based streams that we can embed everywhere and other people can subscribe to. This is why we created: curated.by – Robert Scoble calls it Favorites on Steroids.
Nivi, Rahul let me know if i can drop you guys an invite.
I would love to get your feedback.

A friend just forwarded me this post. Another great way to track customer and client testimonials is this site propadoo.com.. You can favorite them, tweet them, post them to your site, rank them in Google, etc.. Disclosure: I started the site. 🙂
Great idea.
I’m passing this tip along to my marketing manager, who’s currently developing a social media plan.
I love how you’ve utilized the available tools to help cultivate the mass amounts of data produced through SM.
