WordPress Plugin – WP to Twitter

On July 10, 2010, in WordPress Tips, by Wilfried F. Voss

Like everybody in the business, who is serious about marketing their blogs and associated products, I have my Facebook and Twitter accounts. Every time I update my blogs I use the same procedure to announce a new page or post. This procedure includes manual entries into reddit.com, digg.com, and Twitter. I personally use Facebook only in few cases to report blog updates, because my Facebook friends are mostly real friends and family with whom I don’t communicate to make business.

Today I was looking into automatic updates to my Twitter account whenever I update my WordPress blogs, and I found the “WP to Twitter” plugin. As I  always emphasize, there are alternative plugins available, but this one did exactly what I needed it to do.

To install the plugin go to Plugins, then Add New. In the search box enter “WP to Twitter” and choose the plugin offered by Joseph Dolson. Activate the plugin, and adjust the settings according to your Twitter account.

What I liked especially about this plugin is the support of short URLs through various services. There is a great palette of options and settings, but there are easy to manage.

And now it’s time to publish this post and send it to my Twitter account…
