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!
