I’ve got a new beta version of Twitter Tools ready for testing. Twitter Tools is a WordPress plugin that creates an integration between your blog and your Twitter account.
This release has a couple of bug fixes (from version 1.5b1) and a couple of new features:
- fixed a logical bug that made the “exclude replies” option work backwards (oops!)
- removed a try/catch for PHP 4 compatibility (oops!)
- added support for hashtags (linked to search.twitter.com)
- abstracted all API endpoints and URLs so that it can theoretically support any service that implements the Twitter API
Hopefully this will be ready for a full release shortly, with only minor changes (if any). I guess we’ll find out soon. 
The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.
If you have any trouble with this, please open a thread in the WP Support Forums and send me the link.

Thanks for the great tool alex, I have one question does twitter tool post to twitter when a blog post is made using flickr e-mail to blog photo posting option or the wordpress iphone app. because if so it does not seam to be working and if it can not could the be something that could be added to twitter tools

funny… i just wnt here to beg for hashtags support
although i was searching for a different approach:
* an option converting hashtags to wordpress-tags.
that would make much sense in my case and i haven’t found any autotag plugin to do that for me.
*another great option would be to choose if @username replies should be converted to tags or links to twitter.com/username
(i found a plugin to do the link conversion but i would really dig the 2 tag options and since it’s called TwitterTools it feels more logical having it all wrapped up in one plugin…)
anyway, i want tolet you i also love the plugin at this state. keep up the great work!

Is there a problem with the automatic weekly digests with Wordpress 2.6.1? The post gets created but is stuck in the Scheduled state 2 days after it should have been posted. Thanks

Hi Alex,
Wanted to give you a heads up: for each AutoSave or revision on a post, a new ‘aktt_notify_twitter’ Custom Field gets added.
Thanks, great plugin!

Seems to be a new “feature” in WP 2.6.1 – does not exhibit this behavior in 2.5.x.
