Was looking into a way to let you @-mention @lasertweets in response to a tweet and have it auto-generate the URL for you...but everything I'm reading says that's against Twitter TOS.
I *think* I'd have to build a whole system where you have to grant permission to a "Laser Tweets" app, and then monitor your account for "@lasertweets" mentions from you and then basically DM you the URL.
Regardless, it's wayyyy more hassle than I imagined it'd be.

This almost feels like something where there some be a hosted service that already handles most of this.

I tried Zapier, but no go (thanks to the Twitter TOS).
I mean, this is all predicated on the idea that anyone wants to regularly @-mention @lasertweets and buy a wooden tweet.

Which, honestly, seems unlikely.

I mean really I'm just trying to think of an easy/interesting/viral way for people to spread this thing around.
