We can add the tweet button directly from the twitter website. But if you want a image of you wish, then it's easy to get it. <a href="http://m.twitter.com/home?status=WHATEVER-YOU-WOULD-LIKE"> <img src="SOME IMAGE, BUT KEEP IT RELEVANT" /></a> And if you are developing any application and want to implement authentication, use OAuth provided in twitter API: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/oauth Note: You have to register a developer account and create a app there. For authentication use the access token generated on the app settings page.
