Twitter fun

If you don’t know the power of Twitter!, You don’t know the internet!! I won’t get into twitter right now, but I will get into a great wordpress plugin for it. It takes your wordpress post and publishes your post to twitter. You can Download it here.

The Twitter Updater automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can specify the text for the updates, and also have the option to turn the auto update on/off for the different post actions in the admin panel.

Eg, when you edit a post, your Twitter gets updated with:

Fiddling with my blog post: Twitter Updater (a WordPress plugin) ( http://www.JohnBocook.com/?… )

Instructions

Download and unzip the Twitter Updater folder
Upload and copy the twitter updater folder to your WordPress plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins/)
Now you have to tell WordPress to activate the new plugin. You do this by going to your admin panel > Plugins. And click on ‘Activate’ next to ‘Twitter Updated’. If you don’t see Twitter Updater there, you may have copied the Twitter Updater folder to the wrong directory.
Go to your WordPress admin panel, select ‘Manage’ at the top menu, then select ‘Twitter Updater’.
Enter your preference and your Twitter account details.
Test by creating a new post!

What other uses do you see twitter having?
