Intel uses SocialTwist to promote its newly launched Mash Maker

Intel launched its Mash Maker product at the Web 2.0 Expo recently. Mash Maker is a great product for creating mashups between websites. For a product launch, what better way to spread the word, than by having a Tell-A-Friend Contest.

SocialTwists’s Tell-A-Friend Widget powers this contest.

A click on the Tell-A-Friend icon on the Mash Maker toolbar brings up the widget.

When you choose to announce about Mash Maker via email, a nicely formatted mail goes out to your friends.

The widget can be used to send IM messages to friends and if they are online, you have an instantaneous chat session starting. Four of the most popular IM clients are supported – Yahoo Messenger, GTalk, Windows Live Messenger and AIM.

It is possible to make blog postings to your personal blog straight from the widget to three of the most popular blog engines – Blogger, Wordpress and Typepad.

Additionally, you can send a Twitter Message or notify your friends on Facebook.
