Add Twitter Tools Plugin To WordPress

Posted by Jeff

When it comes to Twitter I will admit that I am completely behind the times. I did get an account to see what all the buzz was about but didn’t do much more. But for those of you that have a WordPress blog and are active on Twitter here is a plugin to integrate the two.

Twitter Tools integrates with Twitter by giving you the following functionality:

Archive your Twitter tweets (downloaded every 10 minutes)
Create a blog post from each of your tweets
Create a daily or weekly digest post of your tweets
Create a tweet on Twitter whenever you post in your blog, with a link to the blog post
Post a tweet from your sidebar
Post a tweet from the WP Admin screens
Pass your tweets along to another service (via API hook)

This plugin looks like it can be useful for people that like to use Twitter, please don’t ask me about it’s use because I haven’t tried it yet.

You can find it here: Twitter Tools

Looks very interesting. I’ll give it a try but just like the author, I don’t get the big deal about twitter.

Hi all,

This plugin is a must for twitter users. It’s easy to use and configure. One thing I noticed is that sometimes there is a slight delay in your post getting sent to twitter. (It’s not like sending it directly from twitter) Some are immediate, and some can take as long as thirty minutes.

But just be patient, it will arrive.

As for Twitter is nothing but recording tool for our impulse activities but for traffic? I don’t get much from it if i can be extreme I don’t have traffic at all from it.

I have just installed Twitter Tools. It is really good.

That is why more than 126.000 have downloaded it.

Twitter tools is a nice addition to wordpress. I really like the idea when I post on my blog, it automatically sends the title and link to the blog post to twitter and make a tweet.

This is a very good plugin. I also wanted to let you know about a cool site I found, Ping.fm. It allows you to “Tweet” and have that post show up on your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plaxo, etc.

It’s VERY useful for those of us that just can’t spend that much time on all of the different sites!

Hi,

thanks for sharing this useful information! I’m pretty much the same – I have a twitter account, but I’m not using it to the extent I could and should, so it is pretty much useless. It is on my to-do list though to find out, how to maximise twitter for my personal marketing efforts.

Greetings from Estonia,

WordPress has opened so many doors for me.

Drive-By comments will be deleted! Like "Thanks for sharing", "Nice post", or any other text that doesn't contribute to the discussion. If you ask a very specific question about your particular WordPress theme, it will probably be deleted. I can fix your WordPress site but for a price. If you ask a question like "Why don't my blog work right", it will be deleted. If you ask a question about your WordPress site without a leaving a link to it, it will be deleted. The point is to ask questions and or comment on the the actual content of the post, and to please use some common sense. All comments are moderated and will appear when approved. Thank you.
