To find and selecet plugins and Modules to auto tweet the content published on joomla , wordpress and drupal is usually a headache for many webmasters with their sites on popular CMS like wordpress, joomla ,and drupal etc. Although it is possible that the posts be manually tweeted, but having an automatic option is always handy for such repetitive tasks and saves a lot of time and login-out frustration. I have been using the following plug-ins and modules for some of my sites and found them useful, if you have something more interesting and useful to share, feel free to do so and post it in comments.
Twitter Plugin for Joomla:
- Twitter Status: <
I have used this plugin and it is great and simple tool indeed. This plugin updates Twitter status with article title and URL when published.How does it work?When author of article press Save button on “Add Article” page, plugin will connect to Twitter.com server and send article title. If everything go O.K., you will see article title on your Twitter.com account.As you know, Twitter has length limit on sending text. Sometimes title of article can infringe 140 chars. If it happens, Twitter Status will cut text to 140 signs.You can download it form here:http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/3735/detailsAnd the documentation is here:http://downloads.joomlacode.org/docmanfileversion/3/7/1/37154/Twitter_plugin_doc_1.3.pdfTwitter Plugins for WordPress:
- Auto Tweet
This is a famous plug-in for wordpress, what it does however, it posts on Twitter the first few lines of your post. It does not publish the short url back to your article, so pretty useless for some people.
- Tweet This –Wordpress Plugin
This plug-in adds a “Tweet This Post” link to every post and page. In addition it can add buttons optionally for other popular sites like digg, stumble , red it, yahoo buzz etc.How does it work?
