Twitter Tools 1.0

I’ve released version 1.0 of Twitter Tools, my WordPress plugin that does a complete integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account.

Features include:

  • Archive your Twitter tweets (downloaded every 15 minutes)
  • Create a blog post from each of your tweets
  • Create a daily 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)

Changes from the last beta release include:

  • Lots more error handling
  • A “Test Login” button
  • @username is now clickable in tweets
  • A template tag for just the latest tweet
  • Make sure not to tweet when editing a tweet digest post
  • Make sure not to show duplicate tweets in sidebar
  • Twitter Tools now gets credit on tweets created from Twitter Tools
  • Lots more that I can’t think of right now

UPDATE: Yes, I urge everyone using the previous beta releases to upgrade to this version.

UPDATE #2: For those that asked, my Twitter account is here. Feel free to add me.

Enjoy!

The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.
