New Wordpress to Twitter Plugin
Also hot today is the official launch of WP-to-Twitter. This is a Wordpress plugin that automatically posts your blog posts onto twitter using Cligs as the URL shortening service.
Not only that, if you create an API key from your account and tell WP-to-Twitter about it, the cligs it creates become part of your account so you get to see their statistics. Is this cool or what?
Things you need to know:
- The plugin’s home page: WP-to-Twitter.
- The official announcement.
- The developer is my friend Joe Dolson. He’s a great guy and a great developer if you need good accessible websites. You can follow him on twitter too: @joedolson.
- WP-to-Twitter is part of the official WP plugins directory.
- WP-to-Twitter supports automatic updates if you’ve set it up on your blog.

Any chance this type of plug-in could be expanded to include Blogger?
Thanks,

@Kevin: I’ll see what we can do about that. Not sure immediately how to (easily) provide that kind service.
Leave it with me.

Blogger, being a hosted solution, doesn’t allow a lot of the functions which are required to make this kind of service work - API calls, file_get_contents, cURL, etc. That could make this an impossible task; although it’s certainly something to investigate!
