More Twitter Tools for WordPress Blogs

Jun 02 2009 Published by Lindsay under Wordpress Plugins

On my other blogs I use the plug-in Postalicious to automatically create a post from links that I have saved to delicious.  I have a delicious account for each of my blogs and this has been a great way to save and share revelant information.

But recently I have been using twitter to share links so I was thinking maybe there is way to create a blog post with recent tweets.  I did some searching and found this great list of tools from a marketing firm in Texas.  Here are 2 of the wordpress plug-ins that help you connect your blog to twitter.

1. Twitter Tools – here are a few of the features that I think are helpful to bloggers

  • 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

2. Twittar – when someone leaves a comment – Twittar checks their email to see if they have a twitter account, if the person has a twitter account – Twittar uses their twitter avatar next to their comment.

I am going to try using twitter to share some links and then use the Twitter Tools plug-in to create a daily digest of those tweets.
