Twitter Tools, my WordPress plugin that creates a two-way integration between your blog and your Twitter account, has been updated to version 1.5.
This version has an important bug fix for a problem in earlier betas of 1.5 that didn’t properly throttle requests to Twitter.
If you are using a 1.5 beta – this is a must upgrade situation.
There are also a bunch of new features:
- Weekly digests.
- Updates to match Twitter API changes so that “in reply to” links are properly created
- Ability to exclude @replies from daily and weekly digests and blog posts
- added support for hashtags (linked to search.twitter.com)
- Made URLs in blog posts clickable (using the tweet to blog post feature).
- abstracted all API endpoints and URLs so that it can theoretically support any service that implements the Twitter API
- Fixed the duplicate custom field issue for people running WordPress 2.6+.
- Numerous other tweaks and fixes.
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 e-mail me a link to the thread.
Enjoy!

Any special upgrade instructions, or just overwrite the old version?

Having the option for hashtags.org would be nice to link the hashtags.

You can change it in the code – the URL is abstracted.

Hello Alex,
great plugin. Can I make a feature request, however? I am looking for a solution to backup all my tweets (given that there is a 3200 tweet limit on your archives). Is it possible to have the plugin create a Page that archives all your tweets (with pagination as needed)?

[...] Before recommending this to PodWorx customers (which I have since done), this weekend was all about making the Living in Las Vegas Podcast website Twitter-friendly. My primary goal was to create a “tweet” (a new Twitter message) whenever a new blog post or podcast episode presented itself. Because I use WordPress as the underlying platform for all our podcasts, I did a search for WordPress and Twitter and found several possible solutions. The solution I eventually went with is a plugin called Twitter Tools. [...]
