Wordpress Plugins

Tom Brite · 09-04-2009, 02:24 PM

Hey Warriors,

Im currently updating my blog and finishing up the whole setup part so its more auto so i don't have to update my facebook and twitter account with new information everytime i make a new post or update!

So ive had a look around (especially for a facebook integration plugin) and really am baffled as to which one to choose.

So does anyone have any suggestions on a plugin to auto-update my facebook profile with my new posts and get me backlinks too which would be great for seo and then also my twitter profile!

Thanks

Tom Brite

I use RSS to pull my posts in to both Facebook and Twitter (Twitter it's via TwitterFeed).

There are plugins around - but if you can do it via RSS that's one less plugin you need on your site - and that's always a good thing!

Cheers,

Martin.

I signed up with TwitterFeed - you need to specify your Twitter account details and your blog's RSS url and it will then post the first 140 characters of each post, which includes the post title.

In Facebook there are two ways you can do it - either via the Blogcast application or via the Notes application. Both of these enable you to display your entire post.

Cheers,

Martin.

C'mon guys, don't use a Wordpress Plugin. Use Twitterfeed like AbleDragon said, he is dead right.

The best way to do it is by pushing your feed to Twitterfeed, but don't send it directly to Twitter from there. Create a Ping.fm account and push your feed through there and you can update the 42 Social Services there all on auto. Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.
